I am in the habit of discussing abstract things by the quality of their gluts; e.g. it was a weird ass day. If I thought about it I’d be hard pressed to come up with a concrete definition for a w...

---

I’m not proud of this. In general the longer my flash the less time I spent thinking about it. It’s typing against the clock. I always attribute to Mark Twain a quote that goes something like ---...

Monday morning, the sun is shining but it’s very serious, it’s phoning it in. Back in my little damp spot of the NW dew point didn’t mean anything. Here when you go out barefoot to get the mornin...

Again, a day early. Friday might not work well for me “You’re mad.” “I’m not.” I waited for the ‘it’s just …’ she crosses her arms when she takes off a t-shirt, grabs the hem with her wr...

I had left some scrap of fiction up on the screen earlier; someone snuck in and changed it to crap. I tried to type that sentence and discovered. Too, that someone, likely the same one, spilled m...

---

I really don’t have more than three gears; soul searching, funny cynical ancedotes and cryptic. Journal wise that is. I have those same three gears in real life too except that cryptic is close l...

---

Know that old saw about how life is stranger than fiction? I usually consider myself immune from that, or I have for the past few years. No one says life is more fucked up than fiction because in...

A mind is a terrible thing. I needed to get that out of the way. Dunhill deluxe navy rolls and Fuente château maduros are fine smoking. That too needed to be cleared from my cache. This is an e...

Many a snack dog has been denigrated under the pen name Haredawg and its variations. I’m not going to recant, but I’m granting amnesty to one snack dog. To be fair he doesn’t know he is a snack d...

I heard someone say it was going to be a hard winter the other day. I’m not sure what that means. I assume they mean cold. I know it’s just semantics, but that’s not what I would consider hard. T...

I woke up from a nap and started writing this, didn't time it. I checked the prompts, one fit in. Let's call it an accidental flash “Who the fuck is that?” “He said he wanted to talk with Mr. F...
