Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

I'm not worried about my Odyssey application at all. I certainly haven't checked my email 85 times a day since submitting 😂

A red-and-black blurb card graphic for Michael Boulerice's INHALATION that reads as follows: "Boulerice is the People’s Champ of indie horror, and his latest sees him at the top of his game, threading cosmic dread with all-too-real human frailty. It’s a story of memory, families, and faith, all drenched in an oppressively hostile atmosphere, where past and present tangle, culminating in a knot of psychedelic phantasmagoria. By turns horrific and heartbreaking, Inhalation is a fresh and masterful exploration of what it means to be haunted. - B.R. Yeager, author of Negative Space"

Ours broke about a month ago. New one showed up without hose attachments to connect it. Be prepared to have to go to the hardware store!

Man, at least yours is day to day. LOL. I'm still trying to figure out how I can think I'm both an incompetent hack and undeniably brilliant simultaneously.

Surreal to see this 10-year retrospective on my collection, Greener Pastures. Moving, too, as I teared up reading it just now, thinking back on where I was then and what I was (and have been) trying to do. Thank you, Mr. November and The Blog Without a Face.

A few years ago I was walking my dog on leash. Someone had theirs off. I said, "Are they friendly?" The person said, "Yes." So, I took my dog off leash for them to play. The dog immediately attacked my dog and ripped her stomach open. $800 vet bill... And they gave me a fake phone number/name.

I swear, I'll have like 10 holds, and it never fails that they are all available on the same day. 🙄

Regurgitating information in sentence form is not intelligence. Intelligence requires experience and reasoning. Thinking. Computers are still not capable of this regardless of what these fuckwits want you to believe. And they're not getting closer.

Artificial Intelligence does not exist.
