by R. Andrew Heidel and William Morton Our recipe, and Kiki’s lineage, begins in Japan during the waning years of the Edo era when the Tokugawa Shogunate commissioned the Sushi Sensei to discover a wasabi hot enough for the emperor himself. After many years on his dangerous quest, the Sushi Sensei discovered a pure strain…
-Strange – 2 Pages – As far as I can tell there are two types of Tennessee river people and they travel in competing packs and consume washed up fish or this ubiquitous leafy vegetation that I with my northern bearings will only later come to know as kudzu. There are the stoop-shouldered people who…

Two of the burly men left the room. The rest of us milled around aimlessly, sometimes stepping on Bob’s lifeless body, sometimes not. After a bit, the two burly men came back with a large vat. They took off the cover and threw it to the side. I went over to the vat and peered…

9 Pages Part 2 of 3: Elsewhere in the city that night, a party was being held: in the police station of all places. But not everyone attending was filled with Christmas cheer. Officer Peter Gumption had rather more worrisome thoughts on his mind. He sat nursing them limply on the couch. An attractive blonde…
Communion, by Dan Ericsson There was nothing. Then there was Irving. The booth which he inhabited had not existed until he sat there. When he left, so would the table, the upholstered benches and the dessert advertisement. It would slide from reality to his memory, trapped until someone else sat there. The same went for…
by Drake Knight Note from Editor: This may seem a bit dated in today’s world, but it was written in 2005. I was at work, while taking my smoke break, and what was really odd about that is the fact that I don’t smoke. But, there I was, in the smoker’s lounge, puffin’ on a…

Actual phone conversation from 6/14/21: “You need to get a Facebook account.” “Why?” “Research says we need to hit social media in order to make money.” “Wait…..we make money?” “Well…….” “I’m not comfortable with Facebook or any social media. I’m just trying that influencing thing. You know, for free stuff.” “You’re what?” “Nothing.” (something mumbled…
Well, it’s been a long time since this has been updated. The last time was August of 2016 so you would think that something serious was going on in my life. You might also think that something serious was going on in that other guy’s life, but that’s highly doubtful. I guess we’re back and…
