    “The Postman Always Rings Twice” Review

    by
    W O W After finishing this story I stared at my computer screen for several seconds before jumping up in frustration. I am still unsure as to whether or not I enjoyed that noir reading but I do know that it kept me mildly interested throughout. ESPECIALLLY when they were coming up with their murder […]

    One for the Angels

    by
    This is a poem comprised of The Twilight Zone episode titles. One for the Angels Long live Walter Jameson! The hitch-hiker, the obsolete man, the Rip Van Wrinkle caper: he’s alive. Execution, in his image- static, dust, steel. Ninety years without slumbering. It’s a good life. On Thursday we leave for home, Jess-Belle. You drive. […]

    The Eyes! The Eyes!

    by
    For today’s Daily Create, I had to make an eye selfie. This selfie was inspired by an art installation traveling around Europe called The Art of Attentiveness by Gerry Hofstetter and SWISS. I played around with different saturations and black and white photography, but I liked the way that the “Process” filter added definition to … Continue reading The Eyes! The Eyes!

    Tom’s Files: Influential Music

    by
    Back in my music loving days artists didn’t put albums together so much as they worked at creating top singles, so we will have to work with that. It does seem a bit silly for a grown man to write about what sorts of music helped form him and all, but what can it hurt? […]

    Section 2: An unsolved case

    by
    Not much is known about what happened to Damon Fedderman after he left town one day. Every time one would ask his father, Nicholas Fedderman, he would turn away silently with a shake of his head.

    Don’t drop the soap….. and other shower horrors

    by
    I’ve always loved myself a good suspense, psychological thriller. Never gory though. I took anatomy in high school so I can see how much producers exaggerate the violence and give the killer super-human strength. But give me a good psychological thriller and I’m scared to walk through a dark hallway. ANYWAYS… the movie Psycho by … Continue reading Don’t drop the soap….. and other shower horrors

    Party on, Garth

    by
    Her mouth was a crimson velvet petal, Her hair was beaten from gun-metal. That couplet from The Wild Party always stuck with me. The contrast makes it striking, but the gun-metal metaphor is something else. Primarily it’s meant to describe color, … Continue reading

    RUN FORREST RUN!!

    by
    My favorite movie is Forrest Gump. The main character, Forrest’s attitude to life is so simple, it reminds me to stop over-thinking and just live. I choose the sunset in reference to Lion King because Hakuna Matata is essentially saying “life is like a box of chocolates”.I used a free photoshop online and searched through … Continue reading RUN FORREST RUN!!

    He was supposed to be in Wilmington

      As I combed through the aisles of Walmart searching searching searching for an Xbox. But I cannot stop thinking about that Triangle that Wayne was holding yesterday. Why was he holding it? What was he doing with it? He was supposed to be in Wilmington. He was supposed to find The Boy Next Door. We’re running out of […]
