The stuff below the double gray line was one of those desktop orphans, I closed a bunch of windows and there he was twitching in some sort of paroxysm of hunger, grief or something organic. Eutha...
SFWC --- Latourel
Your challenge is to create a short story where the setting is a character and plays a role in what happens. It should be an active setting. It might be a phone booth that travels through time or...
Journal Business; State of the Flash Address
I’m like a bad gender cliché; I don’t look at the map and I don’t read instructions. Giving me a bit of credit I do have a good sense of direction and can figure most things out with a manual; my...
There are some advantages to being built the way I am, that is built like a pit-bull. Advantages other than the obvious being wicked sexy. The pit-bull swagger is not an arrogant sense of entitle...
Something I had meant to say
Sorry about all the lyric entries. I don’t feel obliged to do the haredawg shtick here, so they weren’t gratuitous. I’ve had entire discographies stuck in my head for the past few weeks. It’s a d...
For Shame of Doing Wrong
This is going to be didactic and it’s stuff you probably already know and if you don’t this won’t help much, so if you have something better to do I strongly urge you to do it. I was going to lea...
No, I don't have anything better to do
Do ye ken john peel at the break of day? Do ye ken john peel with his coat so gay? Do ye ken john peel when he’s far far away, With his hounds and his horns in the morning? --- Traditional Jo...
Ok, so it’s like this see … I was a little too pissy on Wednesday and Thursday to add some fine detail to having had to have hung out in the motherfucking Emergency God Damn Room. The first smoke...
Not beyond the pale, but peeking around the corner
I’ve got shit to do tomorrow. I know, weird, right? But it’s true just the same. If things work out well instead of flash fiction I will be covered in wet dirty dog hair, but even if that’s not h...
Wednesday troubles
One of the many perks to prosebox is that my family lurkers haven’t quite discovered it yet. I have this thing about staying public. I’m sure there’s more than a pinch of conceit in that stew, bu...
So my little sister calls last night at some reasonable hour, 10:17 ish, she’s walking the dogs and says “I just want to say I love and that I’m sorry your life hasn’t turned out the way you want...
A brief Explanation
I've been online a very long time. I hadn't changed my icon on purpose, but I knew how too, even with a button that says "change ico" and then "choose file". I know the icon I changed is not cent...
An Obligatory Entry
Four Something PM I wrote the stuff below, I mean the paragraphs below, earlier. I napped. I woke up as I understand people do, at the tail the end of a dream. I understand it’s the “tail end” b...
Brief Dumbass Drools tale
Writing direct to prosebox (not word) So I'm going out into the world cause I'm out of smokes, I look into my rearview and think "Oh my, what startling blue eyes you have, beautiful. How is peo...
Stuff about things
Morning coffee klatch with my mom is over, and if I planned my days here I’d be figuring out what I was going to do or already out doing it. I cruised prosebox to see who all is there, as in the ...
Worthwhile
G and now Florentine and perhaps others are doing these one word prompt things. I could cut and paste the link here, but I won’t. You need to go read; I’ve yet to see a bad example. Today’s word...
All the Kings Horses
First off; No, I don’t have anything better to do. I mean sure I do, I could work on a cure for cancer but so could you. I have a better excuse; you couldn’t possibly be less qualified than I am....
Bullet holes in the mailbox
She said why don’t you come see me When the sun goes down It’ll be just like the old days When I used to let you hang around Well I don’t know I might not speak the language anymore I’ve bee...
Give it a name

The first covenant (Now with 25 percent more Gravy!)
I was writing something else; I got tired of it. I can only wallow in my own gravy for so long before I need a shower. My little sister told this story at the first wedding she performed. I almo...
Huh
You know what's cool about prosebox? I don't have to face the title Ramblings From Oregon and decide whether or not to change that. Oh, and lots of other things, I'm sure, are cool about prosebox...
I wrote the damn entry and you want me to name it too?
I’m not sure I’ve changed much in the going-on-one-full-year since I arrived on these lack of shores. That’s not really a good thing. I mean the obvious and simple changes are evident; no dogs, w...
The State of the Dawg; Prosebox
I’m in this sort of mild disagreement with someone here, I mean Ecclesiastes7:8 --- not trying to be cryptic, it’s all public. I have been trying hard to behave myself here, but, you know, shit, ...
Almost the other side of this day, have mercy only 29 more to go
Yeah, it’s been that kind of day. I’m aspiring to restlessness but I think forlorn is the right word. At least it starts with the right letter. I was trying to hunt down the phrase Our Beloved Re...
August
Sometimes when I look at this journal, or, you know, that one, I feel kind of stupid. It is an opportunity to document things. Last week this Indian (like from India) cardiology intern was explai...
Book Description
Thought I’d change the title. Some of my best friends are white girls. 95 percent of my friends are in cars going fast.
But perhaps For White Girls In Cars Going Fast was offensive. White girls can call each white girls, but I think we’re supposed to refer to them as pigment challenged Americans, which must confuse the hell out of the Brits, Aussies, and other such nationals on this site, e,g, “My pigmentation is fine and I’m a Not American American.”
