Liver n’ Onions
The cheap carnations in my hand were all I had to give him. Yet standing by my Father’s grave I felt like I was once again disappointing the Old Man. A paltry offering. A pitiful remembrance to the man who had brought me into this world. I was broke. A thrice-divorced failure who had thoughtlessly…
A Car named Jed
It was an ugly car alright. A funky blue-painted station wagon that was given to me by my Dad’s third wife. Since she hated my guts, I think Pauline gave it to me as a mean-spirited joke. Making a big deal about it like she was doing me a big favor by handing it over…
A Near Thing
Our car screeched to the right and swerved to the left where it hit a rock grouping, then proceeded to nosedive down an embankment before completing a somersault and landing in a ditch.

Dig Your Own Grave Sucka!
The moment I found a nose lying at the bottom of my cereal bowl – I knew it was gonna be a bad day. Searching my face confirmed that I had lost my nose. Yup, that was mine alright. Godamnit. Must have fallen off while I was having breakfast and enjoying reruns of Jeopardy on…

Poverty drove me to take the job. I had no experience in sales but, I figured anything was better than what I had been doing which was starve. So after twelve years of trying to make a living as a “male masseuse” – I finally threw in the towel and quit my job at a…
Jake and his Hot Trans Am Part 8
A few hours later I was holding a sobbing chick who acted as she had just recovered her best friend in the whole world after a 20-year absence. Geez…and all I had done was say Hi! Back in those days- I seemed to have that kind of effect on chicks, they either laughed or cried…
