The Baby Jesus Butt Plug

I haven’t started on ‘Satan Burger’ by Mr III, but I got through this little ditty a little while ago.
It’s not *exactly* what you think it’s about from the title - it’s somehow worse and more graphic.  You can buy celebrity-shaped butt plugs  already, so I went into this one with a hip, one-shouldered shrug […]

Face Meat

<I try not to write about my brother too much, but when we were requested to write a story based around food, this was the only thing that came.>
 
Ryan would only eat face meat: a flesh puree watered down and ironed into thin slices, the beige and dark pink forming the smiling faces of a […]

Consent

<10 mins>
Alice had grown up with and so had had plenty of time to get used to having a sentient and moody vagina, but it could still be a completely pain.  Sometimes quite literally in the arse when it clenched up petulantly and he had to improvise.  Tonight looked like it was going to be […]

Don’t Cough

<fifteen minutes>
The retriever leaned in with every turn Annabel made with the truck, licking his lip as his body tipped and strained.  They’d passed the dog park ten minutes ago and the turn-off for the next one a little after that so he wasn’t whining anymore.  Annabel hissed breath through her teeth and scrubbed her […]

The Dice Man

Firstly, let me tell you that Luke Rhineheart did not create this book. Luke Rhineheart does not exist. However, for the sake of reading The Dice Man, you are to assume that he does exist and did write this book. It’s all part of the illusion - you suspend your disbelief before […]

I know my cupboard is bare

Yes, I know for a writing journal there ain’t a lot of writing here, but there is some method to this.  Depending on what gets accepted my bluechrome in the next few months, I’ll be able to sort through the stories that I’ll need to keep tucked away here and what I can stick on […]

Taxidermy with a twist…

Lisa Black does some fairly awesome things with dead animals.  Honestly, I wish I’d thought of this first and had the necessary skills to do it to this effect.

‘Fixed - Fawn’

‘Fixed - Baby Crocodile’  - This one has moving gears and actually walks.  Creepsome.
I’ve been tinkering with a steam-punk story for a while now, and […]

Smile for God’s Sake

Well, what can I say? I’ve been almost literally snowed under with bits of paper for the last few weeks and am only just starting to clamber out. University is in the final two months now, so everything is stepping up a gear, and I had wanted to have a go at submitting […]
