-Strange – 2 Pages – As far as I can tell there are two types of Tennessee river people and they travel in competing packs and consume washed up fish or this ubiquitous leafy vegetation that I with my northern bearings will only later come to know as kudzu. There are the stoop-shouldered people who…
Roger Hambone despite his last name never learned to hambone. He was hamboneless. But he could eef like nobody’s business. People used to say his name should have been Roger Eef. They called him “Eefin’ Roger Hambone”. When he would eef it sounded like this: Ah ee, ah oh, ah ee, ah oh, [hic], ee,…
by Evgeniya Seizova Year by year a beautiful young lady was gazing with Her spiritual eyes in her own destruction… Was she a human being anymore? She stared her tired and too dilated pupils once again in the impassable Darkness trying to find a ray of light. So many impossible efforts. They’ve been crushing and…
So I go into the Acme after my five mile run. I grab a basket because I just want to grab a few things. There is a good football game on ESPN tonight, Florida vs. Georgia, and I just want to pick up some munchies for the game. I’m in this aisle, right, pasta and…

I found myself sitting at a desk. Across from me sat Bob. “Care if I talk? I pee myself a little when I take tests,” said Bob. “Sure,” I replied. “Just don’t move.” Bob stopped fidgeting. “I already had an IQ test when I was tinier than I am now,” he said. “Reaction time is…
By Bob SenitramThinking up the nonsense…just for the hell of it. Another day, another dollar… But all that got interrupted last week when the ol’ lady informed me that we’re heading to St. Louis to see our daughter perform in her first college dance show.

Strange – 21 Pages – I’d always loved maps. In fact the walls of my office at home were covered with them. Almost every part of the globe was represented there with some areas even being duplicated as I acquired an occasional historical map. Behind this apparent obsession there was however a practical use.…
More fighting. Always fighting. It is the only appropriate verb to describe what is obscurely known as the “Relationship.” Fighting during the day, at night, before bed, often interrupting sleep. More fighting upon waking. Sometimes one is forced to wonder what else there is and usually one is hard-pressed to come up with…

9 Pages Part 2 of 3: Elsewhere in the city that night, a party was being held: in the police station of all places. But not everyone attending was filled with Christmas cheer. Officer Peter Gumption had rather more worrisome thoughts on his mind. He sat nursing them limply on the couch. An attractive blonde…
This is a piece of fiction from about four years ago…one of my favorites that was never featured on www.MyStrangeStories.com or www.theweirdcrap.com. Which seems sort of odd in retrospect, since I run both. Hope you like part IV of “Shrongs” In part one we saw how our hero (me) was chosen to travel to another…
Meat Loaf—“Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose” MoTW—“Slither” Ebay is basically a non-entity to me, it’s something out there that Ioccasionally use. It’s not one of those sites that I visit every day(like www.sweatyasianchickswithhardhats com, which has updates hourlyand proves my point that there’s an infinite amount of ways Asian chickscan pose…
Prince—“3121” MoTW—“Blue Demon” “So, what’s the plan?” she asked as she sat on my bed. “I’m writing a story about a pony,” I said as I closed the door. “That’s nice. How do you want to start?” “I already started. They just found out the pony has a deadly diseasebut haven’t told the girl yet.”…
So I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is I’ve figured out why I wasn’t able to Jump in this Timeline, and also why and how I ended up here in the first place. Of course it turns out it was all your old Spamrider’s doing. Despite all his big talk, he…
