Hard Logic
Hard Logic (32 Words) The full horror of my situation, reaching up for his hand from the pit, only hit me when he spoke.
In the Dark
In the Dark (406 Words) It is not quiet in the dark. “Hold me, Ellis.” Jeremy’s voice is strange. It is strained, compressed.

The Most Livable Curse

Wallie on Ghosts
The Cook I know a student who very much wants a ghost of his own.
Wallie the Imp on Sidekicks and Suits
Wallie the Imp loves Disney films. He is driving my Friend and me crazy by going on and on about how unfair it is that Cinderella and Giselle, among others, have so much practical help from their animal helpers. He says it’s no wonder the villains are villains, when they get no encouragement from their non-human, inhumanContinue reading “Wallie the Imp on Sidekicks and Suits”
