Trinidad
The day we learned we were finally leaving the dry dock in Corpus Christi, Texas for the island of Trinidad, a strange thing happened to me. Probably I shouldn’t mention it at all, but I want you to understand where I’m coming from. We had been at th...
A Darkly Missourian Winter
Related by a fellow named Lipton McCrawdad, who heard the story from a travelling preacher while both men were holed up at a camp at the foot of the Bighorn mountain pass. They say the preacher was headed West for Lake Tahoe, but never made it there,...
Ten Essential Books
There are thousands upon thousands of good books, and twice as many bad ones. How to choose between them all? I decided to weigh my decisions very carefully, and pick only the best. Should I take the scholarly route and pick “important” or “most infl...

The ghosts in my dreams always tell me to follow,
But I’m afraid when their voices are holl...
Killing Johnny Two-Fingers
This is a rather simple story I forgot I wrote. We were planning on turning it into a short film at one time. Johnny Williamson lived in a big house in a golf course neighborhood, and, aside from only having two fingers on his left hand, he appear...
Vin Diesel - The Drinking Game
For some reason or another, I rented the Vin Diesel movie A Man Apart one night not too long ago. My friend Daniel and my wife Tanya were both there, and no one was really all that psyched about watching the movie, so we developed our own drinking ga...
