I remembered when I told my dad he had colon cancer. The surgeon couldn’t wait for my dad to wake up from the sedation so he handed me the photographs and charts. The surgeon had places to be, after all, and my dad hadn’t slept well in probably years so we all just let him […]

COVID and the Saddest Dog in the World
COVID has become a regular part of daily life. We live in a time of plague. Putting on a mask when leaving the house has become commonplace. Not seeing friends and family has become normal. My innate desire to feel repulsion when seeing a large group of people has been allowed to flourish along with […]
Ghosts and the Mice Among Us
The house hunt continues! Next up is another weirdo house. Its layout is batty but that’s because it USED TO BE A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY. I’m sure there isn’t any bad energy left there.

In earlier times, epileptics were worshipped/feared because people thought the seizures were due to gods speaking through a human and, being human, all a human could do was seize in response. But gods didn’t want to talk to […]
