Zombies Perspective
The world isn’t just black and white.
It’s bloody too.
Deception
Werewolves don’t lie.
That’s what a werewolf told me once. I didn’t realize he was a werewolf until he changed, nearly ate me and then apologized the next day.
Apologies can’t pay hospital bills.
Sloth
It’s hard being the chosen one. Snatched up from eternal life in Hell in order to have power over millions. I didn’t do anything to deserve this role. In fact, that’s the whole reason I’m down here. I’m a lazy, miserable slob that wasted away. No one misses me. No flowers on my grave. Now I’m here to make the world notice me!
Right after I eat this sandwich.
Close at Heart
Matilda Morris loved death. She kept it close to her skin. She wore the teeth of her favorite dog on a necklace. Gunther stood to her side in her office, always loyal, but forever stiff. She liked pets, but everything had a time limit, so instead, she liked her animals stuffed and mounted.
She had them all. The rare, exotic and the endangered. She bought, traded and collected.
The cops kept a...
Modern Day Princess
Lolly wanted to live a fairy tale, so she sold her downtown condo, moved into a forest and built a castle. She planted hundreds of rose bushes and waited for the ivy to creep down the walls. Each morning, she awoke to the sweet smell of roses and saw deer grazing in the valley. She would paint elaborate concrete labyrinths that reminded her of the corporate job she left back in the city. During...
Anime
He tastes like cigarettes and marshmallows. I chew his lip. He bites my tongue. I lick his earlobe. His hand goes up my skirt and when he screams and runs away, I decide to give up.
What man is going to love a tentacle monster?

Hearts & Daggers
Calvin and I met online. We both collected swizzle sticks and met through an online collector’s community. Three months of chatting and we decided to meet in person. Calvin didn’t want to exchange photos. He insisted it would ruin the surprise. I was a bit worried that in person the attraction would disappear.
We agreed to meet in the lobby of a prominent downtown hotel and get...
Thought Process
I sleep words. They dribble from my ears, ruin my pillowcases and frollock throughout my apartment. They nibble my cereal and steal my best coffee. They play with my cat. Check their email and run the shower till it’s out of hot water. They open the door and run for the next train out of the city. When I wake up, groggy and itchy, I realize something is missing. Like a jolt, I grab a...
Hungry
I’m sleepy like a hamburger. I crawl into the bun. I make out with the ketchup. I cover myself in mustard. I relish. I wrap myself up in the lettuce and wait to be devoured by you.
Guano
“I don’t think you can do it.”
“I’ll show you.” Colin closed his eyes. His eyelids wrinkled in concentration. Then he was gone. No smoke. Just a pile of white fluff on the floor.
“Colin?” Maureen picked up the fluff. She laughed. ”Nice try! But this is batting! Not B-A-T.”
Then Maureen made a quilt out of Colin. It murmured...
Fun and Games
I lay it all out on the table like a box of condoms. This is it. Not a metaphor or simile. Tonight we fuck. I pretty you up. Purple eyeshadow, mascara and I rouge your cheeks with lipstick. I take my time outlining your lips than I fill in the lines with a vampy red that I picked up at the drugstore for 99 cents. I want you to leave a trace like a hurricane. It’s not just sex,...
Stupid Adventure
I can’t say no to those eyes. Two dashes puppy dog, but mostly scared. How can I tell him it’ll be okay? I want to swim in those two blue shiny dots. I feel like I might fall in, but I’m the strong one. I’m the one with the machete. I’m the one in charge. I’m the one that suggested coming out to this jungle to find Big Foot. Instead we’re lost in a...
Crazy Neighbors
“I woke up with two small bloody marks on my neck. Don’t tell me it’s a vampire. I don’t believe in that shit. It must have been the next door neighbor’s kid. He’s half Yeti, you know?”
Tumblr Tuesday Haiku
Hello new readers! Please recommend me if you like stories.
Fact: If you know me you probably already know about my BFA writing project. The thing that turned my regular old BA into a Fine one. I was originally going to write a collection of short stories and then I decided to write a collection of haiku instead. In the library stacks of my alma mater there lies a dusty copy of my 50 haiku....
XOXO
Glenda knelt down and picked the slippery frog off a lily pad.
“You swear to me that you’re a prince,” she said, leaning in, lips puckering.
“Absolutely, dear.”
She kissed his moist skin.
“What’s happening to me? I can’t move my feet.”
“You’re turning into stone.”
“What? This isn’t supposed to happen....
Collectibles
I can’t think past the fuzz. My head is in a cloud of thick smoke and my ears are caving in with the noise. The screaming won’t stop.
“Won’t you shut up?!”
I stare into the cage. My eyes red with strain. No lights to dull the thud-thud-thud between my ears.
“The whimpering is really unattractive.”
I pace the room. I’ve had a headache for the...
13
It’s been 15 days, 17 hours and 34 minutes. Bologna sandwiches and a glass of dirty water every single day at 3pm. Nothing more. Nothing less. If I cry, I get slapped. If I scream, I lose a finger. If I beg, I lose a toe.
One less toe, two fingers missing and I miss my mother.
It’s dark.
He’s a demon. There’s no use discussing it. He’s always right....
Interlude
There was a hand-shaped candle on Linda’s bedside table. All of the fingers were melted down except the middle one.
“Very funny, Steve. HA. HA. You can come out now.”
No answer.
“Hello? Steve?”
She walked to the bathroom, expecting to see steam sliding beneath the door. The bathroom was dark and empty except for Steve’s head in the toilet.
Linda...

Flesh
I never thought I’d say it’s easier to eat than be eaten till I fell in love with a zombie.
