The Goldfish is Sus

“That’s my goldfish!” Screamed my six year old son.


I kneeled down to my son and grabbed both his shoulders and looked him in the eyes.


“James, this is not your goldfish. I don’t know how to tell you this.. but it’s an imposter.”


“No! Mr. Golden Fishy isn’t sus! You’re sus! He speaks to me you know, he tells me that you’re not my real dad. He tells me you’re an alien.”


My heart rate became r...

Til Death Do Us Part

C.M. Sheppard

The Necromancer

Chants his sacrament of death

The dead start to rise


Skeletal hands dig

Their way towards a blood moon

Breaking through the earth


Lovers once before

They said “til death do us part”

Embracing after

Thousand years isolation

Now their love will never die...

MITCH. EXPENSE REPORTS. DONE BY NOON. ON MY DESK. NOON.


Expense reports. I’ll show you expense reports, you fuck. Mitch reaches under his desk and draws out his trusty long sword. The same sword that slayed the three Gexnon-headed in the village of Gib. What a fine...

Multitudes

I am the lost

I am the found

I am the light

I am the sound


I am the wind that whistles

I am the sun that blisters

I am the riptide dragging you down

I am the whirlpool that drowns


I am the death

I am the life

I am the destruction

I am the reconstruction


I am the storm that floods

I am the avalanche that buries

I am the atom split in two

I am the life becoming anew...
