“He will rebuild Jerusalem!”
Am I being sent a message from the heavens? This week, the Amazon went ablaze, and the “very stable genius” Donald Trump proclaimed himself the chosen king of the Jews. Anyone might guess they are signs of the times, but I might call it something else: the powers that be are guiding the through the right […]
What to Write Next?
This is when the self-loathing kicks in like an unstoppable masturbatory thought. As a man, I feel more like a woman during this stage: can’t decide, can’t focus, can’t seem to write a few pages that mean something, and, amidst this much insecurity, I worry about my weight. When I should quit the deliberate crybaby-ness […]

Of course, A.I. is nothing new in literature, but as we are […]

Chapter Three
Chapter Three Dylan’s house had more furnishings but was just as timeworn as the Tayeh’s. It had creaking floorboards, stained carpets, dark paneled walls, and smelled like an antique store. What made the home more enjoyable was the PS3 plugged in the living room television set where Dylan and Harvey spent hours outmatching each other […]
