- Dreaming!
I’ve been having extremely vivid, narrative dreams lately. Two nights ago they were long, long horrific ones, where I would wake up sweating, and then imagine how to make them scarier. I do not know why, but I managed to concoct some extremely scary and epic nightmares. Last night was different; in the morning I […]
- Feverdreams I’ve Had Lately
Here is the beginning to the novel I attempted to write a year ago, last November.

I spent 4 dollars at the New School cafeteria for a bowl of delicious tomato soup, a roll, and a cup of coffee.
I spent 10 at El Fogon, a mexican […]
- Candles in White Rows
“My God!” she says. She’s holding a pamphlet and hitting stuff with it, emphasizing a syllable here and there with a loud crack of paper.
We’re in McAlister’s. The four-member nuclear family three tables from us stares more intently into their submarine sandwich combination platters as she gets more and more excited about flying overseas […]

Jonathan McIntyre loved the bank. He loved how important and big it looked, how it towered over the other buildings. He loved drinking the complimentary coffee with powdered creamer and reading from the shiny stacks of magazines in the waiting area. He loved the crispness of the new bills and the way they smelled, in […]
- Thank You!
To the people that keep buying my book. I buy a drink at an NYC bar every month with the slowly trickling - and pleasantly surprising! - royalties. To the people that didn’t know I am an aspiring writer, I self-published a book through lulu.com. You can buy it and read it!
Why […]
