Sometimes I feel like my life is so full of stories, my stories, and the stories of others. So full that I cannot pick just one to write. My brain floods, and sometimes part of a story floats to the top. Then it pours down through my fingers in waves that translate [...]

Richard Matheson wrote What Dreams May Come in 1978, as a love story to his wife. It pops up every so often in my life, and reminds me of the things that I love, and gives me hope. I may disappear from time to time, but it is within my nature to run. [...]

Sometimes you wake up, and you find yourself in those quiet moments. Like a dream was about to begin, but it was cut short by consciousness. It’s hard to say if the dream you missed was worth the waking. You look at your life.. and think, “Where the hell have [...]

You know those nights, when you can’t sleep? No matter what you do? It’s 4am on a Tuesday. There you are. Staring at the ceiling. Counting proverbial sheep. Your mind racing, any kind of distraction will do. Anything to slow down. Anything at all.

I actually wrote this and posted it back in April of 2007. I’m reposting it now because I’m starting a new series of true stories, called Fragments. Enjoy!

Broken glass litters
the city street.
I crawl out of the gutter
and wonder where I was last night.
I can see the quad-bridges from here.
The echo in the distance

Jack, come home.
I am home.

I walk across the bridge
and grab a bite to eat.
Hot coffee and cold eggs

Enter the Hanged Man.
Loki Liesmith is Jack Lhasa, as well as many other people.
Holy Zombie Jesus!
