So there I am, on a plane with Petr Nevded, and I’m wondering if this will be a weekend so unlucky that I don’t make it back.

A couple of weeks ago, I got lucky and scored four tickets to the World Series. Game Six. In Detroit. The problem was that I had to find a flight to Det ...

Sometimes I think to myself that it would be nice to be a monk. Living peacefully with no material possessions except the robe on my back, and the bowl I use to eat food out of. Reading and meditating the day away in a world free of all the material objects that distract us from day to day.

There’s place you can visit if you’re ever long on time and short on ideas. It’s the celebration of the weird and twisted. It’s the hole next to that alley. It’s the closet in your room or the hill-top in the valley. The place no one ever bothers to go only because they d ...

Soon as he received the call he left work and rushed right up to the hospital. He parked in the doctor’s only parking lot and entered the building via the ambulance entrance as though he worked at the place. "Where’s my boy?" he retorted with a shakey voice. "I need to find my b ...

The question I've been asked most in the last three months is: "Why did you move to Seattle?" At first the question didn't bother me, but after hearing it for the 300th time I came up with a slew of altered answers.

WARNING: This contains unsettling accounts of my self indulgence.,

I was going to write about my recent failed attempt at love. It was going to be a thinly veiled metaphor comparing my now retired best friend to a sports car. It was running out of gas and the situation changed. I was ...

She rode into the parking lot on a black motorcycle. It looked like a Honda but I can’t say for sure. I know it wasn’t a Harley-Davidson or a Kawasaki. Her bike had black carbon-fiber saddle bags that added to the futuristic/alienish look to the bike. I can only imagine what devic ...

I left the restaurant with a salivating mouth, my motorcycle’s vibration unable to top my excitement of killing another mark. In one way or another, we all deserve to die. God has made me his angel of death. For ...

I met Alexander Ellis years ago, and we’d talk from time to time. I wasn’t surprised to get a voice-message from him; it was when I called him back that I got my surprise. I dialed his office, but a female voice answered the phone.

"Hello?" she said.

It was a lazy Sunday. I was sitting in my livingroom with my feet upon an upturned laundry basket, a bowl of Doritos upon my lap, watching the Lions. The last I remember before the events I wish to describe occured, they were beating the Bears by a score of seven to nothing.

The cigarette gave off one last wisp of smoke as it was crushed into the glass of the ashtray. Smoke filled the air, not that you could see it; darkness filled the room.
