Sitting alone in a restaurant last night (note: here I invoke pity without explaining why), I took on this task.

I took the first three songs I heard and formed a story based on them. Since the restaurant in question was Fuddrucker’s, it was pretty much doomed to be oldies. These are the three songs:

The Ventures – “Walk, Don’t Run”
Del Shannon – “Little Runaway”
The Beach Boys – “Fun, Fun, Fun”

I haven’t, strictly speaking, gotten to the part about walk, don’t run, but I will in the next installment.

Here’s a setting idea I flung out today. It’s not the best I’ve ever done, by a long shot. Hardly original. But it provides me a place I”m hoping I can write stories in with my daughters.

Yes, it has the absolute worst ending ever. Thank you.

I love the existential horror this one implies. This is actually a story I read on a blog out there somewhere once. I’ve no idea where now. I searched google for it but I couldn’t find it. If you know the original author, let me know. It actually has resonance with a familiar joke.

This is why I shouldn’t write romance.

Written under the influence of having read Nobilis. It’s kind of a surreal deity story mixed with a liberal dose of Kafka and Wilde. This was originally published in the first issue of Collective Voices.
