"I pocketed the parchment scrap – indeed there was nobody to stop me as the library staff had to a man and woman been slaughtered by the tiny terrorists of the Children’s Theater Troupe out on the square."

A.P. Murphy"I had to take great care at this time as the city was convulsed with mass killings carried out by the Chalazia Children’s Theater Troupe, a savage faction of youthful mayhem-dealers and run-amokkers."

What is your contract with the reader? Have you thought about that? I have been for the past year or so after I felt like storytelling and “writerly intention” became two different things. Considering we are stealing bits of time from strangers, it seems prudent to have some agreement with them about the exchange. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far: • I won’t waste your time with things that don’t move story. • I won’t force you to read a shittier version of something you could find somewhere else. • I won’t lie to you, but I might deceive you. • I may turn your stomach, but it will be for a purpose. • I will reward you for spending time with my art. Nothing like adding another rubric or failure to the pile, but if you alienate your reader then you’re just writing for yourself.

2My new post is a piece I wrote for the Wrizzit Seven Deadly Sins anthology with the help of A.P. Murphy. It doesn’t look like that publication is going to… publish, so I’ve just taken it upon myself to share. Here’s a shout out to A.P Murphy for letting me gawk at their work without reading into it too much. Without you, this piece would be strange.

Hopefully I’m accepted to join the Wrizzit Poetry Anthology before the deadline. I’ve written a poem in collaboration with @a-p-murphy for the occasion.

Every death brings me back to you.
On the grief.
