It seems like there's more around than there used to be. This makes the fifth person I've known personally, in just the past few years.
They say it's a case of Life gone rogue at the cellular level, unrestrained growth expanding without regard to function or boundary.
We were having breakfast at a cafe near the University of Washington when you got the call. I knew by your face the news was grim.
Only an entity oblivious to consequence would…

BEV H RAY
In the world on the flipside of ours, children learn the colors of the spectrum according to their rainbows: blough, equatorine, vielot, horange, reade, appaltine, yhello.
Rainbows are not only visual phenomena in this world, but have an audible aspect as well, so that when their arching array burgeons in the post-stormy skies, a gentle cooing can be heard all across the landscape.
It is a yearning sound, full of the melancholy of one who is incomplete, only…

You know what I think? Let me tell you what I think. Think about what I'm saying. They're afraid of me saying what it is that I think. You think you know what you're talking about? Let me think you what I tell.

Up From the Memory Mine
Unsure at first if memories can even be said to have size, then sifting through the sediment of 43-plus years and finding some obsidian chunks and gold flakes alike:
--As a kid, scheduling a magic show for the neighborhood, carefully cutting out construction paper tickets, only to have one of the cool kids tear his up in front of me at the bus stop, saying, "No one's coming to your stupid fucking magic show."
--The way she got up in the middle of the night and…

A Beautiful Woman in Jeopardy
She's been waiting for someone like me, the strong sensitive type who sees the scared, vulnerable girl behind that capable veneer.
So it's a little insulting when she says, "You're a worse trap than the one I'm already in."
