Monster Needs A Memorable Face

Monster Needs A Memorable Face

Comments 0 Comment

Monster Needs A Face Shadows dance on the ancient stone walls of the castle with each flash of lightning. Torrents of rain soak the scientist’s ancestral home, seeking to wash it away before the evil within its womb tastes life. Struggling against the storm, yet drawing upon its power, equipment created from the mind of a madman hums. Blue electricity climbs and descends Jacob’s Ladder, building power then regulating its release into insulated copper wire. Charged chemicals flow hesitantly into…

Washing Machine Repairman By Necessity

Washing Machine Repairman By Necessity

Comments 0 Comment

Washing Machine Repairman I hate wasting money to replace something I could possibly repair myself. Thanks to being cheap—and YouTube—I can repair a Kia, a Nissan, an air conditioning unit, and a clothes dryer. In recent days, I have had to answer the call and become a washing machine repairman. Let me just say, taking a washing machine apart is easy; fixing it, not so much. Certain noises shouldn’t come from washing machines. When my wife went to investigate, she discovered the…

Wading Out To The Middle Of The Creek I was never a tall child growing up. The coordination necessary for sports was not something I had in abundance, so reading, writing, and drawing kept me busy. Despite that, I loved the outdoors (even if my required sunblock would have kept a vampire alive.) One of my favorite activities—not that I got to do it often—was wading in creeks and catching crawdads. I was 13—maybe 14—years old when ours and another…

Comments 0 Comment

Christmas Lists Weihnachtsmann. Pére Nöel. Sinterklaas. Shèngdàn lǎorén. Babbo Natale. Father Christmas. Saint Nicholas. Regardless of what you call him, Santa Claus will soon be coming to a chimney near you. The question is, of course, have you been naughty or nice? If you are like me, the answer is probably a little bit of both. I put a lot of effort into being a nice guy, but, sometimes, things just don’t go as planned. What we really want to…

Although you are reading this in a place where you feel safe, the fact of the matter is much the opposite.

The Coming Of The Daikaiju Changes Everything

The Coming Of The Daikaiju Changes Everything

The Coming Of The Daikaiju Changes Everything “ The coming of the daikaiju changed everything, and it changed nothing. Problems were still problems, only now they came in a super-size. The fact that all you owned could be crushed beneath the heel of a radiated prehistoric behemoth didn’t change the fact that chores had to be done. Jube hated chores, so he put them off as long as possible. This morning, his mother had warned him of dire consequences if she…
