Horror writer. Husband, father, cat furniture. Some kind of half-assed astronaut.
I spent my whole life living out of boxes, sleeping on couches, even when I lived my parents. To have a space of my own means more than words can express.

I cleaned my office instead of writing yesterday. And got a barstool for my cat so she would let me have my chair.
It didn't work.

Are these the voices of our dead friends, or just the gramophone?

Went to see Sinners at the drive in last night. I thought it was fantastic. Michael B Jordan crushed that movie.

I have a story posting to @crystallake.bsky.social's Shallow Waters contest this month. This one is a good one, folks. The theme is April Fools, and my story is a dark look at OCD and how it can turn a person's world into a nightmare. I hope you like it.

Jump into the Lake. The water's just right.

This is how my daughter signs all her work, it is a cat's paw with toe beans surrounding a winking skull-shaped paw pad, and it's pretty great.

The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
***
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

We're fucked.

Just saw a chart listing tattoo area pain levels, and the back of the neck was listed as the middle of the scale. That can't be right, can it? I fell asleep while I was getting the back of my neck done, it was actually quite pleasant. Just me?
