BULLET MAN
His name is James Bullet, but most people reversed it to Bullet James. A rising action movie star, his biggest draw was the elaborate stunts his movies required. . . And he did them all himself. He starred in such instant classics as ‘Three Bullets to Midnight’ and ‘Shotgun Blood’. Lately he had taken on a younger audience with his humor flick ‘My School Teacher, The Assassin.’ Anyone from Hollywo...
Political Obsession
My phone keeps dinging. I ignore it for a while, because I know who is texting me: Joe Biden.
I’m not sure how I got on his radar. I guess when he came to Franklin,Pa I caught his eye.
He wants me to assure him I approve of his performance as President. I don’t want to be rude, but I feel like I’m being harassed. Would he be open to suggestions if I was honest with him? Maybe, if his cabinet agre...
My My My!
Poof Doof at 3am is like nothing else. It fills me with euphoria, a sense of freedom that exists only in this space. Pink and blue strobe lights pulse above me, like I’m in the eye of a rainbow storm. I inhale the aromatic residue of alcohol that carries on the haze from the smoke machine as sweaty shirtless bodies push up against me. My eyes are closed, feeling the music. The heavy dance beats dr...
Shakespearean Tragedy.
“So. This is your time machine.” I said into the bewildered silence.
Andy wrung his hands and stared at it. “I know it looks...”

“No, no, I’ve worked hard on it! I can bring someone back from the past! Anyone!”
“... it’s a cornflake box! It’s not like it can bring back... I don’t know... SHAKESPEARE!”

No Time Like The Present...
I met him last year on the week of Nicky G.’s birthday. At first, I thought nothing of him... He came from a family who was infamous for time travelling and causing time paradoxes for laughs. The whole family was at Nicky G.’s birthday party and stayed until the start of 2020 (and then they departed, ready to travel to another different time period to cause even MORE time paradoxes)... Or at least...
Feeder, feed her!
I can’t escape. Actually, perhaps I can squeeze out of this shackles and slip past the bars but I dare not risk getting caught. I’m just small, wee girl. Born into poverty and always starving but that might be changing.
The reason why I am here is because I hate the evil man who has imprisoned me here and I stole from him. He is a fat, gluttonous rice ball that sweats and consumes and watches peo...
It Started With Pity
Before I left the building I drew back the front curtains and checked the street. The past week he had taken to standing behind the huge oak across from my apartment, thinking he was hidden by the massive trunk, but the angle of my window let me spot him regardless of his skulking. Today it looked safe so I threw on my coat, grabbed my purse, and headed out to the corner convenience store. I wa...
A Different Kind.
(TW: Transphobia.)
Having my favourite author retweet my post was a heart-stopping moment of pure excitement. This wasn’t some small indie writer, this was someone who wrote a series with unfathomable success.
I did a little happy dance; and I was more than excited.. just the notification had shown up. But as I clicked it and read the comment with the retweet, all joy left me. All of it.
