From Negative Creep Press : An Opera of Gratitude by Rustin Larson (fiction)
Stories here have appeared earlier in the following presses: Alien Buddha, The Iowa Source, The MacGuffin, Lime Green Bulldozers, Wapsipinicon Almanac. Thanks to the editors for printing them first and giving them a home. Q: You play with the idea of time and the (sometimes unexpected) connections between past and present in the lives of your characters. Can you tell me more about how you think about the structure of a life–and by extension, of a story–and how you recreate or summon that up on the page? A: Life, as we live it, or at least as I perceive it, is made up of layers. We live the present, but while we do, we also relive the past, and we live in the obsession with what has not even happened yet. One of my approaches in the storytelling was to fragment and to jumble chronology. In so doing, gaps of silence, or breathing spaces if you will, were created between narrative blocks. These silent breaths created an underlying sense of simplicity and being, a unifying place out of time.
