Her Impossible Question

He is smoking a cigarette. Still damp from a shower and dressed in nothing but a sea-green bath towel: he has arranged himself on the covered radiator beneath the living room window. He sits here, from time to time: smoking, reading, watching the flow of lackluster drama stretched along the nearest segment of Wrigley Street. He sits here, from time to time, waiting for Nathaniel to get home from late, late nights at the studio. There is little to see now: only shadows and the motion of a breeze through maple leaves, sycamore leaves, and the sick, orange glare of electrocuted sodium vapor from the streetlamp just outside. He has opened the

Shifting

She didn’t like the way they leaned on each other, the way they touched one another with hands, gazes, and entwined whispers of cunning, seductive entreaty; she felt a change in the world…the shape of it, and it was all their fault: Jacobi’s and Valencio’s. There were ways to become stranded, to get lost. She’d seen it happen before. She was afraid it was happening again. It was in the way that they moved together: two metal filings skating along the contours of a magnetic field…dancing together. Negotiating. Becoming something else: something new. They were a couple, now—Valencio and JacobiR

Shells

The fucking psyches tell him to look within and all that bloody jazz, but it's all bullshit. He's killed guys, and that's the end of it. Guys, and girls, soldiers and civilians, until the sound of gunfire drilled into his head and out the otherwise and took everything in the way with it It's like those stupid shells his mum showed him once when he was young. 'Course, he didn't think they were stupid then, but what did he know. Just a kid who had no idea what it felt like to hold a cold piece of steel in your hand that explodes in hotness and judges whoever's in front with a wham bam and kiss goodbye, say hi to God for me and give him the fin

dA Literature : Prose (#5)

May 19, 2015

Power to the Prose It has come to my attention, and many others attention, that prose doesn't get as much attention as poetry does in the literature community. It is also very, very hard to find good, decent prose when you have to wade through all the other, mis-categorized pieces in the prose section of deviantART. Well, I have come up with a solution to this problem. I am starting a feature to introduce different prose pieces to the deviants of dA. I have gone through and combed through the pieces to find some really good ones. I plan to do one every two weeks (or once a month, I haven't decided yet). I am very irregular with this feature

My Bio

I am a writer. I love words and the relationships between them. Language seduces me and I love the smell of books, I love the feel of words as I shape images with them, and allow them--in turn--to shape me.

Sometimes, I take pictures.

Devious Journal Entry

0 min read

I've just finished a story involving a guy named Tómáš, and I'm feeling the urge to explore something else set within an alien world.  I love science fiction and I love fantasy just as much, but I'm not really in the mood to write a story within one of those venerable genres.  I love sf and fantasy, but my urge, based on the life of Tómáš, is to explore a different sort of alien...the ultimate other...a human being whose history doesn't follow the western paradigm.  In the hopes of uncovering something, I found myself listening to music.  I found something that I want to share, something that I can understand, de
