The wheels squeaked every time she moved. Bending over to pick something off the ground wasn’t even possible anymore! Her head swiveled to get a better look at her surroundings. Old crappy shit met her eyes, no matter which direction she turned to look in. Discarded like so much garbage, she thought. “Just look at…

Wringo Ink. Short Story for the Genre Psychological: It’s All In My Head.
It’s all in my head. Whenever she looks at me in that blank emotionless way of hers, it makes me want to throw something at her. I look down at the boning knife in my hand. I am using it to carve the rotisserie chicken that I had to get in lieu of the dinner…
Wringo Ink. Short Story for the Genre Comedy: Poof!
Chapter 1 Owexator activated the photo resistors in her eyes with a wave of her hand. As she stood in front of the mirror, she turned her metallic body this way and that. After what Scyther had said yesterday, she had decided it was time for a critical evaluation. “If only my arms had been…
Tell Me a Story #2
“Fear is the mind killer.” The woman who said that might have been a bitch, but she hadn’t been wrong! But I’d like to add that fear doesn’t just kill our mind, it also fills us up to the brim. Devoid of any other emotions, we tend to act in ways we normally wouldn’t. The…
Tell Me A Story…
So, my girl Icks and I were talking when we came up with this crazy idea. It isn’t crazy because it hasn’t been done before. It is pedestrian in its approach if you look at it like that. What is crazy about it is that we hope to keep doing this regularly. Or that we…
Wringo Ink. Short Story for the Genre Play: Poindexters & Pinkies
Scene 1 The scene opens in a laboratory, showing two bearded octogenarians in lab coats. One bespectacled scientist is tipping a conical flask full of frothy vomit green liquid into a beaker. The other one is sitting across from him and observing with one eye closed to make up for his misplaced glasses. None of them…
Wringo Ink. Short Story for the Genre “Starts with a Phrase”: Not. A. Story.
Once upon a time, sharks flew across the sky. Or so one would think if one hadn’t been living in that era. It was an age where people thought they had the right to punish people in God’s stead. It was a time when it was okay to turn the sacred ground of universities into…

Reading Goal I have completed the goal that I set for myself this year on Goodreads. Really happy that I’m getting some reading done even with life being as crazy as it is. Project Frankenstein I have finished 11 out of the 14 books that I originally included in the post. My opinion about…
Wringo Ink. Short Story for the Genre Romance: Bogged Down
She didn’t like it when they just wouldn’t stay dead. Granted, all she had do to was concentrate on someone to make them keel over. Sometimes, however, the condition didn’t take and she had to work harder to focus. From the backyard, Blue had been watching her mother hug the picture frame tightly to her…

Quick Reading Updates, Book Bingo, & Musings on Writing
I finished Hellboy Vol. 1 Seed of Destruction & loved every bit of it. I would have loved it even more, if there was more Liz to go around. The artwork is so beautiful but what do I know because I haven’t read more than ten graphic novels/comics in my life. However, that…
