Tophat, The Vampire

I was alive once. Like you, gentle reader, I once breathed the air and smelled the daisies, instead of pushing them up. But on this hence told day, at five hours after midnight, I was all but alive.

Greetings from Henryville!

The following is a pulpy contribution to a collection of stories regarding the fictional city of Sol, a sprawling metropolis in decline. It was written for a friend’s lit mag that remains unpublished. This tale focuses on the Mayor of Sol, Jackson Panic, and the mysterious burrow of Henryville.

Greetings From Henryville!

It’s rather sunny here. I know how dark it can get in the

This One Time I Was On An Airplane

What better way to begin than with a bit of childish whimsy?

This is the true story of this one time that I was on an airplane. I knew that if I told the world about my story, I would be able to live free and not carry around this weight in my chest forever. That is why this story about this one time that I was on an airplane is important and also the reason people will like it.
