  • Fear and Loathing in Zyracuse

    It was official. We were definitely in the ass end of nowhere which, contrary to popular belief, is the best part of nowhere. I had been collecting mushrooms off piles of cow shit for the better part of the day, while my attorney slept in the car and was now cruising down the Thruway dodging…

  • Fiction II

    It’s strange. A great story is a selfish thing. It seems to take more than it gives. When you’re done with it…no when it’s done with you, it leaves you feeling hollowed out. When you come across a good story you unfold and unpack it, you pull it out and look it over. A great…

  • Three Issues

    1 – The survivors have made an airport their base of operations. Do the have a plane? What about a pilot? I’m not talking about anything big that would allow for escape, but a little two seat prop plane type deal. It could be used to keep track of zombie movements and natural resources. I…

  • Gen 4:9

  • Brews

    Frank Chesterfield was tired. His back was killing him from a hard day’s work and the only thing in the world that he really wanted was a hot shower, but that of course was out of the question. He hadn’t seen so much as a sponge in a week and wasn’t expecting anything more relaxing…

  • Auburn Correctional Facility

    Auburn Correctional Facility is probably to most secure place in all of CNY during a zombie attack. A structure specifically designed to keep people in would be perfect for keeping Zak out. I wanted to have this be the setting of my next story, but I’m finding that information about the place on the net…

  • In Pace Resquiscat

    I found this notebook at the bottom of my bag this morning. I was looking for my last can of tuna. There’s not much in here, a to do list from a few months ago: groceries, gas, dentist appointment. I wish I had used the space for another can of beans. I think I’ll try…

  • Fiction

    “A true work of fiction is a wonderfully simple thing — so simple that most so-called serious writers avoid trying it, feeling they ought to do something more important and ingenious, never guessing how incredibly difficult it is. A true work of fiction does all of the following things, and does them elegantly and efficiently:…
