There’s nothing like slow-cooked chili. That’s my new favorite thing to cook and eat. I like to make it with at least two different types of beans, tomato sauce or just the bean juice depending on how they’re cooked. Sometimes I cook the beans until they’re nice a creamy and use the cream as the […]
“Brilliant, beautiful, and with a temper quick as a razor blade,” Adam said. “Really?” Judian asked. “I don’t know that I’ve heard her described that way. I have heard other things. Most of it not very flattering. But she does have a nasty temper. She’s gone through five phones in the last three months because […]
“Oh, my God,” Reba said. “My poor stomach. I should not have eaten all that mustard.” She sat on the bench, suffering. And well she should. What kind of moron eats a whole bottle of Dijon, even for a bet? “I hope that $200 is going to be worth the time you’re going to […]
The opening drum roll in pg. Lost’s “Jonathan” was the perfect beginning to this project. A good backdrop to the man’s screaming. And if anything was going to be the last thing he heard, he was lucky it was this. One of my favorite songs. Surely, by now my bosses would have realized what happened […]
“She would be hot if she didn’t remind me of my mother. You ever feel that way Ms. Kinnington? I first realized I was in love with Mrs. Evans during lunch…” I tried to bury my hatred of life as Andrew came to me with yet another lover’s pursuit that would undoubtedly end in heartache. […]

Alright people. I kept saying I would do another 5-minute exercise, but I never did…until now. This was actually completed on Thursday…I think. I’ve been dating my papers wrong all week. This could’ve been done on Monday for all I know. But here it is. It’s actually pretty good if I do say so myself. […]
Ex 221: Write an opening using, “I’ve got it. I’m on a roll now. On a roll.” “I’ve got it. I’m on a roll now. On a roll,” I said to Martine as she watched me pull switch after swift and push button after button. I always told my sister that being an aviator with […]
Ex 166: Write an opening using a sofa He threw a sofa at me. God, I do not get paid enough for this, I thought. I shot back at him with my laser gun. He grumbled and stumbled, but didn’t fall. I keep telling my commaders laser guns are useless on rabid cave trolls. Their […]
“You’re crazy. You’re all crazy and none of this is real,” Katherine yelled. We understood her frustration…we at least I did. I remember the first time I was told about my alters. It didn’t make me feel good or excited. I realized there would be about 6,000 versions of me somewhere, but to meet […]
