in a heavy, dirty, white colonial style dress. i am hiking up a green hill along a dirt footpath. brett is following me. i’m telling him he has to leave. he says we have to try again, we’ve been together 18 years, it’s worth trying to save. but it hasn’t been 18 years. and it’s […]

a giant witch sculpture on the top of a skyscraper. they put a blue neon ring around her hips right where her short black dress began to flare to celebrate the cubs winning. we all took pride in our city’s witch and were pleased with the addition of the ring. at work-school we had to […]
i watched a porno starring michael jordan and sigourney weaver (as dana from ghostbusters). they are in a white room wearing white. she tells him that she can’t do this. she’s rigid. she’s cold. she has no feelings. she’s a block of ice and has no reaction to others. she picks up a table top […]
