"Well, Genet had a phrase that I repeat often: ‘Difficulty is an author’s respect for the reader’, or rather, making him or her think, collaborate – the work is incomplete without the reader’s input…"

Saddened to hear about this. Sheldon Lee Compton was a wonderful writer and we're proud to have published his work. He'll be missed.

The stain made me feel uneasy, it made me feel chased. I saw faces in there I thought I’d forgotten. My heart flipped like a shuffle of poker cards. I took out my cellphone and took shots of the stain. I put it on the tabletop, against the glass of the coffee table. I switched angles snapping shots and I documented it. I posted it live to watch on the stream of media, I wrote in the caption, The Stain. The next night I posted The Devil. In a few minutes someone commented, It looks like you. How so, I typed back in the chat. 

You wrote them.

Are you kidding me??! I replied. 

Only the devil can write his own name…

Lol!

MEIKO KO / A STORY OF A SHIRT AND A MAN — always crashing It was unfortunate: my shirt was evil. Everyone would think I was crazy if I said that. A shirt? they’d say. They would prefer anything else to be evil, a phone, a laptop, a lightbulb, a book. A shirt...

"I tried to ignore it, but it wouldn’t go away. The tedium of that, you can imagine."
