Posted here are four poems: "On the Razor-Edge of Schizophrenia", "An Opiate Ode", "Why, you ask?", and, my personal favorite, "In the Evening". It seemed the perfect little collection to summarize my different flavors of poetry...

Working on a new story, figured I'd give you guys a looksie. Rough draft of the first section of the story, and trust me, they'll be more to come! This is the story of a young woman whose life is about to be turned upside down...

This is a piece that I wrote for no good reason, and I haven't the slightest what it is leading to. Still, I really enjoyed the concept of the story, and plan to proceed on it in the future when inspiration strikes. This is the story of a split personality who decides to go out for a night on the town...

Just a little poem about... well, you'll see. It's hardly soaked in subtlety. Enjoy.

This is a rewrite of an older piece, a psychological short story that stands, to date, as one of the more disturbing pieces of writing I've done. Herein lies the fictional transcripted profession of Walter Pearson Rays, homicide suspect, and his weaving narrative of a very strange night.

This is a rewrite of an older piece, a short little drama/comedy about two hitmen...well, you know, title drop. This piece started as a comedy in my mind, but the characters took on somewhat a life of their own.  Follow the young narrator down the rabbit hole of wasting time and wasting enemies.

This ode goes out to all those of you who's prom went beyond the word "bad" and teetered, flailingly, into "catastrophe." Read to the meter of "Twas the Night Before Christmas".

This poem has absolutely no deeper meaning.

Join the sad little story (if you'll let me indulge) Of a sad little boy... and his tuxedo-pants bulge.

Decided to brighten things up a little with the short story "No Man is an Island." Previously published in the Henniker Review, this is the account of a woman whose husband returned from Vietnam with more than a little baggage. It was a fun exercise in perspective and voice, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing.
