On Love and Loss

I’m going to be honest with you…I’m not at all a morning person, especially come wintertime. Above all, I dread awakening to the shrill, insistent buzz of the alarm clock and gazing out my window over a darkened, frigid landscape illuminated only by the weak yellow glow of the streetlights. In my humble opinion, no one should ever have to get out of bed when the streetlights are still on. Factor in the immense tactile pleasure of wrapping your fingertips around a leather steering wheel that’s about as warm and inviting as a Minnesota winter (which I’m told can get rather chilly), and you can imagine my boundless enthusiasm at having to rise e

Montfaucon--ProloguePROLOGUE.  Le Tholonet is a small, picturesque village of about two thousand residents, located just outside of Aix-en-Provence in the south of France. Surrounded by sun-kissed vineyards and meandering rivers, Tholonet itself is blessed with the sort of rustic tranquility that hints at promises of life’s simple pleasures. And it is, for the most part, a peaceful and inoffensive town, with one notable exception.    Follow the Rue Église all the way down to where it dead ends at the banks of the Arc River, and you will find yourself in a rather curious place known as the Maison Sauvinny. It is the one place in all of Th Montfaucon--Prologue

The Knocking, Chapter IIIFor nearly an hour afterwards, I toiled fruitlessly in an effort to extract my car from its resting place, impossibly entangled in the intertwining vines along the steep and slippery slope. But the night’s rain had turned the ground to slop, and pressing the accelerator yielded no effect save that of hurling a filthy spray of thick brown ooze into the profuse vegetation near the bottom of the gulley, my car sinking deeper in to the muck with each failed attempt. I realized that, despite my extreme circumstances, I had no choice but to call a tow truck, for leaving my car at the scene would have surely have aroused unwanted suspicion. &nb The Knocking, Chapter III

The Knocking, Chapter IIII.  As I merged onto the freeway, I began to formulate in my mind a plan that would allow me to rid myself of my gruesome charge. Burial was too uncertain, for what was to prevent some morbidly curious passerby from unearthing my despicable deed and exposing it for all the world to see? Incineration would have been the best, the most complete, but it was too impractical. Only mortuaries and universities furnished such machines, and there was no way I could access either without arousing suspicion.   For an instant an image flashed through my mind, an absurd picture of myself shoving the girl through the gaping mouth of an inci The Knocking, Chapter II

The MigraineIt comes gently at first,  Quietly, like a voiceless assassin  With his deadly steel blades;  Latches leech-like onto my brain,  Filling it with writhing tentacle roots  That flood my skull with pain  And cause my temples to explode  With all the rhythmic intensity  Of a star pulsating in black space.  I stare blindly as sensations fade  Back into distant and surreal memories—  All is lost and nothing remains,  Nothing but the dull and constant pain.  The songs of birds and children  Become but harsh cacophony,  Beating like some merciless drum,  Each rippling blo The Migraine

ok, so i know its been a while since my last journal entry....hell, since i last logged on, but you know, i got a facebook, and that's basically been sucking up my whole life. yeah, i know it's bad, but i'm only human...

ANYWAYYYY, i just got back from my orientation at uc irvine, or SPOP as its called amongst those in the know ;) it was basically amazing...those mitty people who went on kairos, it was something like that. yes, it was that awesome. there was an outdoor dance, an all-nighter that included cross-dressing, and ghost stories. and the most amazing sunrise i've ever seen (you'd appreciate that joke if you were there, but please don't ask me to explain online). signed up for classes, and as it would happen, i only have one fifty-minute class on friday. WHOOOOO!!!!! yeah, i'm basically ready to go now.

other than that, i've been spending my summer teaching karate to small children, reading lovecraft a lot, and prepping for my black belt test. oh, and having endless gtalk chats with all my high school pals who i'm going to miss, like, a lot times infinity!!! and writing, a lot of writing...think three stories at the same time. anyhow, just posted chapter 2 of my latest story, and it's worth a look, if i may say so myself. yes, i know i'm conceited. and, no, i don't care. ;)
