"Some asshole on the internet wanted me to do the work for him," I said flatly as my wife floated in from the kitchen, drunk off her ass as usual. Was it a man, she'd asked in that Chardonnay-fueled SoCal slur of hers. I should have stuck to roughing traps on the circuit instead of pretending I could be a married man, respectable. When was the last time I'd written anything? A fat manuscript on my desk, begging for a chance to make the rounds of rejection of America's publication whorehouses. Instead I'd probably write something for this useless cunt and jerk off angrily later that evening while my wife was passed out nearby. It'd be the closest thing to a rush I'd ever feel these days. "Shut the fuck up."

A veritable alpine idyll, the Christmas party had gone swimmingly until Uncle Billy waggled his ass towards the fireplace and loudly broke wind. The fart caught fire and suddenly his pants were alight and then his sweater. He ran about wildly then sank to his knees, in flames, screaming, waving his arms at the ceiling like a preacher begging a miracle while the children backed away and Momma hurried for the water bucket. But she was too late to save Billy. She had always been too late. And now he was dead.

The moon set audibly with the swaying sound of morning as the edges of the plain black sky were invaded by beams of light from some unknown dimension behind me, advancing like a vague, rude drove of fire birds- the horizon, however, expanded into a blinding silver light. The light grew deeper and expanded until I was on the moon itself. I stood there in two second's silence, until I was then immediately hurled into the legs of a brown woman, screaming, crying, burnt by the hospital light. I lived each new morning in memory of that day.

The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. I got about fifty feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me. I tell you he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence, he let out a great bellow. I said, "Easy, big fella!" And then, as I watched him struggling, I realized that something was obstructing its breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish.

It didn't function as intended. A rolling wall of dust followed the snap of intense light.

>I had known Sturvant for less than a year before I came to expect him to fail in all his endeavors; the only point to be explored in each new and doomed attempt was the degree of failure, just how bad and complete would it be. This tendency to failure was inherited. Even his name was a failed attempt at naming a newborn son "Sturdevant".

>It was love at first sight, the comedic, unrequited kind.

>If you're a young man in college who wakes up on a Saturday in someone else's bed after a night of drinking, you're usually not too concerned if you don't remember all the details of how you got there.

>Cocaine...not the life-threatening, septum-eating kind that children learn about in classrooms during D.A.R.E programs taught by visiting police officers, not tonight at least. Tonight, the glamorous, flashy kind snorted by young executives in the bathrooms of clubs that most normal people are too ugly to get into.

One knows at once who is the object of this pastiche. One knows it before "Geoffrey," described tersely as "my Ganymede or male lover as well as my secretary," is further described as responding to the intrusion by "pulling on his overtight summer slacks." Yet one is tempted to continue quoting, about the Mediterranean villa and the goings-on there ("I lay a little while, naked, mottled, sallow, emaciated, smoking a cigarette that should have been postcoital but was not"). This is quite simply because the parody is so much better than anything that W. Somerset Maugham ever wrote himself. Poor old "Willie" was more given to openings like this: "I have never begun a novel with more misgiving. If I call it a novel it is only because I don't know what else to call it."

Grip slipping clutched at the edge of a thread one thousand miles long and broken. I pressed the yielding yellow Ticonderoga lacquer and traced the half blunt tip just outside of the printed bubble. Hutchinson come. In the quiet violence of a billion exams, I heard foot steps enter the hall. The knowledge of his being took me very far away and my mind was at once unfocused and new very old but not quite-


Intending to break there, debating on going more in depth on the exam level. Whole story is a deepening dream state where the narrator/dreamer zeroes in on the Hutchinson character, who starts as the ideal man but progresses as the novel deepens to be a metaphor for God. I want to explore that relationship, in a manly friendship kind of way.

Being less approachable than the dark city she had just arrived in, she was well aware that she must take the initiative in striking up conversations with strangers. Her, trap carefully set outside the train station, a fine place to think about her life that never happened that while waiting for the right sucker to saunter by. When a middle aged couple complete with a polo donning young man apporached, she knew she was golden. "Reminds me of when I was a kid", she thought. With the victim profiled, the ambush began. Going straight for fat daddy, blocking the family's path, she intervened, "excuse me! I need your help to get out of here. I'm no charity case, I have a service to offer. If you provide me with 5 dollars I will provide your son with the key to success". The shock faded from the freaked out family, apart from the wife who manifested a palpable neverousness. Daddy chuckled and pulled a 20$ bill from his wallet and handed it to his son, remarking "It's up to you". This was a lesson. The walmart-youth apporached our strange women and said, "here, keep the change" promting an automated reply, "thanks for caring. Quickly heaving her overweight backpack onto her shoulder she began to step off. "You never told us the key to success" the boy intervened as expected, met with a smirk he got his answer, "They leave the backdoor unlocked"

"You're short 38 cents."

That's what she said to me. This Raccoon Eyed Sally. This Plain Jane Exact Change. The fluorescents in this grimy joint made her look fifteen years older- and her coffee stained quick stop uniform didn't help matters. My gaze drifted to the jerky on the counter as I considered calling off the whole operation.

"Come on man, I don't have all night."

And with that, I felt a jump. I reckon it's the same jump that god gets when he hears a prayer from some bimbo asking for bigger tits. We were back in the game. I reached through my pocket and tugged on my coin purse.

Over a few drinks, and a thoughtful conversation, I learned she worked at the hospital where my grandma had died last month.
