Ronnie groaned. Was that Jim? He sounded far away. "Ronnie! Where are you?" Thoughts slipped through Ronnie’s mind, slippery and hard to catch, like fish. Something was wrong, she was sure of that. She tried to rub her forehead. Pain exploded through her body. Her arm was wedged beneath her […]

Today, instead of a new story, I’m posting links to other places where you can read my work. Space Squid issue 9 is out! In it, you’ll find my story "Tiffany and the Unicorns." You can download the PDF for free! Also, The Living Dead 2 is out! […]
And Now for Something Completely Different
These are very pretty, and somewhat relevant, based on my ongoing series. Check it out!
Pretty Pictures of Mars!
The queen of hearts twisted around on herself and escaped her paper prison. She didn’t get far, though, with two torsos and no legs. Sean had loved solitaire, but the game changed when the cards gained sentience. When he played on his computer, but the AI was just as bad. […]

Ronnie’s scream echoed in Jim’s room. He grabbed his communicator. "Ronnie? Ronnie, are you okay? Where are you?" Static crackled at him. Jim shook the communicator, then tried again. Worry clawed at his belly. Where was she? What had she done? Maybe this was all a prank. Maybe she was […]
Martian Adventures: Ronnie’s Birthday Part 2

Ronnie wormed her way through the air vent. It was a lot tighter than she remembered–but then she hadn’t been through here since before Jim came. She’d grown in the past year. She slithered forward. It would be her birthday soon, and she always greeted her birthday from the same […]
Martian Adventures: Ronnie’s Birthday Part 1
Wedding bells tolled overhead as Scott fought his way through the protestors and ran into the church. He was too late. At this point, he couldn’t do anything but cause a scene. He barreled ahead anyway. He needed to see May one more time before he lost her forever. May […]
