Baby the Bartender
I ripped the nail from my thumb, but it doesn’t hurt anymore because I’m three whiskey shots into the night. The music slides off my back, and in this bar, I’m a drop of water falling into a bathtub. My bathtub, at the apartment, t...
I'm Coming Home
I left my backpack at the airport. It wouldn’t be such a big loss if it weren’t for the book that was in it. See, this book, it came to me in such a serendipitous way that I couldn’t help but be convinced it meant something to me. N...
Banana In A Sling
Out my window, the sun sets, and as I watch the orange light creep across my wall, I realize that I didn’t pick up my purple wig from the dry cleaners – the shoulder-length one with the green streak on the front. I will try not to let t...
Eric Lived
I can’t sleep. The blow-up mattress halfway deflated, the window open with the winter air kissing my face, the blinking of midnight on the VCR, and my open eyes occupying this room surrounded by walls. I can’t sleep. The kind of insomnia...
Pink Dot
This hotel room, with its patterned bedspread and carpet, its plastic wrapped cups and soap, its King size bed that will sleep one, is exactly like all the others except for the pink dot on the door. The pink dot I drew with my super-sized Sharpie ma...
Mountain Overlook
In the mountains, with the snow falling creating a soft, white blanket like love, I drive the mountain curves and try not to fall over the edge. The tires spinning and skipping, I’m a first time ice skater. My partner, somewhere unknown, is not...

Hi Andrew,
In case I haven't spammed you already (I've been emailing friends one by one), I want you to know that this year is the first year the Weblog Awards have a Literature Category. My blog, Diary of a Heretic, is a finalist!
As far as I can tell, I'm the only one posting original fiction on my blog. So strike a blow for online fiction by voting for me, or just do me a favor if you're feeling generous.
Here is the link:
The rules are one vote, per computer, per day, and the voting ends thursday, November 8.
Thank! Kathleen
Mr. Grudge
Andrew is a superb storyteller who is engaging and prolific. His style is intense, full of images and emotion, and often on the verge of a whole, new form. One never knows what to expect to find on his blog as he attempts to, and very often succeeds in bringing his readers somewhere they've never been before. And so, I come back for more. This blog is highly recommended.
The Uneasy Supplicant
As usual, great site, really good writing Andrew. I should have rated you earlier. Hey, I'm learning. Still trying to figure out all this stuff. Anyways, thanks for the link.
