HIDEOSITY

2016
Neither for the squeamish, the easily-offended, nor the grammatically conservative, my first-ever-published short story is about the persistence of life in all its forms.

Published at Anti-Herion Chic.

After the great kablooie we returned to our offices to find rubble and just the frame, we all proceeded to lie down in various parts of the rubble, one by one, those untouchable steel pillars vomiting up into the sky, and moan our exhaustion to one another, staring at one another, our libidos hung slack, like elastic underwear past its expiration, all of this not out of allegiance to the office but for the shelter of the sure, straight steel.

MICROMANIA

2014, 2016
Uh oh . . . Derek, Christian and Frank find themselves in the hands of the abominable TeamWorkShop. Trapped in a small room with no tools but their minds and one another, they can only affect their escape by ridding the office of an imaginary infestation. But are they emotionally equipped to handle the situation? Or will they fall prey to the infernal machinations of a mellifluous influence?
