    Grover Stultus of Shizukesa

    When life hath reduced to a crawlSkip, skip the day away It shall put a smile on your faceSkipping at a steady paceFor the skipper doth live in the momentFast walkers are going nowhere and they’re in a hurryJoggers feel they have something to prove But the skipper sees the sun behind the cloudsThe rainbow…

She would write everything in it: her feelings, story…

    Short Stories, Spain

    It was a Friday afternoon; Wall and Bob were sprawled on the worn, comfortable couch in Shunk’s living room, their eyes glued to the vibrant screen of the old Nintendo 64 as Bob maneuvered Mario through the colourful, pixelated world of Super Mario 64. The room was filled with the familiar sound of cheerful chimes…

    Poetry, Pym Thomas

    I suppose you could say I’m a bit of a hypochondriac. Looking in the bathroom mirror, I notice it’s all steamed up. I wipe it off with my finger, And see, on my face, Three spots, all in a line. I look at them, lean in close to the mirror to see better, And wonder…

    Chuck was lonely, but that wasn’t unusual. He was always lonely. He didn’t have a family, to speak of. Why would he? That was the first thing he knew, as he popped into existence. He looked about, and found he had all the knowledge in the world. It was an interesting feeling. F E  E…

    Poetry, Pym Thomas

    The child threw a rock at the bird, The bird fell out of the tree, It hit an old lady on the head and she fell dead, Momentarily distracting a man crossing the road, Who was hit by a bus, Which caused the bus driver to have a heart attack, And drive into a petrol…
