It's kind of like when you eat all the yellow candy hearts out of the candy dish two weeks before Valentine's day, but it's also a little like walking in Africa. And it's evenmore like the sea. Yes, it's more like the sea.

The end.

"To see life as a poem, and yourself as participating in a poem, is what myth does for you." So said the immortal Joseph Campbell. May all the gods, each and every last one of them, bless him.

"Never 'use' venery at all. Follow your passional impulse, if it be answered in the other being; but never have any motive in mind, neither offspring nor health nor even pleasure, nor even service. Only know that 'venery' is of the great gods. An offering-up of yourself to the very great gods, the dark ones, and nothing else." Quoth D.H. Lawrence. I melt. I die.

Retribution Walking in the Woods
A stream-of-consciousness type of thing. It's quite short. Also, quietly disturbing, if you pay enough attention.

A simple tale of first love and whatnot told the way it makes sense to me.

A Lamentable Telling of a Certain Demise reviews
Based on an "exploration of the subconcious" that we did waaaay back in Freshman English... God bless you, Sigmund Freud. God bless you.

A quite-short-story built around a single phrase. Inspired by Prospero. First published on Kiwibox.com on 28 August, 2003.

Aphrodite reviews
Once again, based on Neil Gaiman. Actually, I wrote this before I read "American Gods", but it's based on it all the same.

This comes from a fetish for the Billy Joel song. It was written partially as a favor for a friend. First published on Kiwibox.com on 27 November, 2003.

The Power of Three reviews
Based on something by Terry Pratchett, one of the best authors that I have encountered thus far. This is another piece that I am particularly proud of.

There Was a Girl reviews
Hmm... this is partially in development. I quite enjoy it, as it is based on a myth that has always fascinated me (possibly because it was the first one I ever learned. Kind of an odd start, I think). Maybe a bit of a parody, though not in the normal sens

When George Returned From His Business Trip reviews
I love this story, so, so much. It was so easy to write. I don't really understand it, I guess, so if you have any ideas what it's about, do tell.

My Sister, Lazarus reviews
My one and only attempt thus far at a sci-fi story. It was one of the most enjoyable pieces that I have ever written; it came and flowed very naturally.

Faerie Mead reviews
A kind of twisted and soft fantastical horror story, combining several elements of mythology (Celtic, I think a little bit of Norse, and a lot of my own).

A Greater Glory reviews
This was very, heavy emphasis on the very, much based on Neil Gaiman's novel "American Gods." It is easily my favorite book in the entire world. Read it. Read it now. ahem That is all. Thank you.

Story of a Girl reviews
My favorite piece to date. I couldn't decide what genre to put it in, because it's a bit of everything really, so I went with "General." In my true opinion, it's anything but general.

Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradisio reviews
In my opinion, sophomores in high school with pretentious ideas should not be allowed to read Dante's "Inferno". It can only lead to funny ideas.

Could use a new title. Based on previous experiences (honestly. I'm not trying to be poetic or metaphorical here. But it works out nicely, doesn't it)
