Shane just wants to go home. Stranded in L.A., he must somehow make it back to Georgia. As he hitchhikes his way across America, he encounters transphobia, crooked cops, swindlers, kindly folks, drugs, tragedy, and a high speed chase.

My partner pointed out that we’ve been listening to The Wheel of Time books for 3-4 years now and it’s time to wrap it up.

Poetry isn't there to "mean" something, it's there to get you high.

my literary take is if you haven’t read small press poetry in the last month you’re doing life itself wrong

this isn’t unhinged, tho, this is every screw in perfect place with a fresh spray of WD40 anywhere that creaks

Oh the horror. She probably had me cooked well done too.

It would really suck for someone to take two bites of me and throw me away.

You enter thinking that you or someone like you will win. Instead, the editors solicit entries from their faves and pick one of them for the prize. Kinda the same for submission fees tbh.

Contests are Advanced Fee scams and the winners are usually predetermined

I don’t like hierarchy therefore I don’t have “faves” but The Big Lebowski is a heck of a film.

I reached my goal! I will now diminish and go into the west (aka be quiet about this particular release). A huge thank you to everyone who took a chance on this short story of mine.
