Summary: All the reasons not to say a single word.
Okay, so “Ersatz” is now on Amazon and Smashwords. It’s a $0.99 short story about two man-children that are asked about their ersatz homosexual relationship, which leaves them reeling.
Disregarding their ages, they really are man-children in that they spend all their time slacking around in their apartment playing video games and smoking pot. Their comfortable world gets rocked by a rude question and they respond in typical fashion–by running away from each other and acting like teenaged girls, neither one wanting to be the first to mention the dreaded “love” word.
BTW, when I picture Niedelmeyer hassling Charlie, this is the image that popped in my head:
He just seems like that kind of guy…
“Fiends” — It’s a novella about a young devil sent to seduce a normal man, but ends up being the one seduced instead.
Dramatis Personae:
Teablossom — our devilish seducer.
Henry Lerner — our intrepid hero.
Karas — the opposition.
Riordan James — the lost love.
The story begins with Henry wallowing in grief over the death of his lover, and Teablossom is exactly as advertised–a fiend.
Silly stuff: Is there some way I can be known as “Harper Kingsley, God MC” without knowing how to do anything? *~* Listening to “Conquest” by the White Stripes. I realize that it’s practically prehistoric, but it’s still on my playlist. Kind of hard to believe that someday it might be seen as “Classical music” by teens everywhere. *~* So true. You eat ONE White Castle Burger and you’re like “Ugh!” but THIRTY of them? That’s insane, man. “Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay” is on TV right now. Very nice 🙂 I love NPH, don’t you? *~* If anyone is interested in being given free copies of my stuff, let me know. I’m thinking about picking some pre-readers in return for BJs (just kidding!) [Not really.]
Real life: Nothing much here. Everything good happens in my head. I save all the bad stuff for real life.
