    If ever there was a paralyzing word… I really don’t know where to start with this one. People, people, so many people. So many stories! How many stories are out there, just waiting to be told, to be heard? […]

    Seems like oneword.com is flexing its coloring muscles. Is it supposed to be black themed, or is my computer just tripping? Flex dose…

  • torin commented on the post, refuse 8 months, 4 weeks ago

    It was a rather confusing tradition. Should they offer you any refreshment–tea or sweets–you were to refuse. Yet they would still bring you some tea or sweets. You would still thank them for their hospitality, […]

    The fog settled on the blue lakes of her eyes, turning their sharp azure hue a dull grey, and like that life went out.

  • torin commented on the post, cabinet 9 months, 4 weeks ago

    Let me see… Maybe we’ll try walking up the ladder of abstraction with this one. Down at the bottom, ‘cabinet’: a closeted space for storing this and that and whatever other sorts of nick-knacks you are of a mind […]

  • torin commented on the post, fuses 10 months ago

    It’s interesting…maybe strange, maybe cool, maybe ironic, maybe funny, maybe many other things, maybe none of them whatsoever…that all that separates two ideas from one another in our minds can be something as […]

  • torin commented on the post, decorations 10 months, 1 week ago

    I wonder when people began decorating things… Why did they begin doing so in the first place? Were decorations akin to the piss stains other animals left on trees to mark their territory? Humans just couldn’t […]

  • torin commented on the post, auxiliary 10 months, 1 week ago

    The main force had been stayed out of sight. No one in the auxiliary had seen it for days. But they knew it was there, and the thought gave them strength. Theirs was a suicide mission; they had each volunteered to […]

    Fish guts slopped over the sides of the stained wooden bucket she hefted in her hands. The bucket knew the weight of offal as well as those hands, and together they made another journey, one out of the hundreds […]

  • torin commented on the post, science 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    He always seemed so at odds with those of a more classic sense of faith. ‘This is not your great and terrible god!’ he would say. ‘This is science!’. He was right; he was wrong. Indeed it was science, but god just […]

    We’re just laying the framework for something else, he thought. All of this, everything we’ve done, it’s just the framework, the border, the outline, for something else, something greater.

    Somewhere, nobody knows exactly, but somewhere, there’s a giant switchboard. A giant switchboard with thousands and thousands of millions and millions of little switches for turning a thousand thousand million […]

  • torin commented on the post, racket 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    “Would you keep it down up there!” Aunt Gertrude shouted at us from somewhere downstairs. We were up in the attic, making a racket, tossing around all the dusty, old antique trinkets and baubles, and photo albums, […]

  • torin commented on the post, grind 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    Grind it out, grind it out, just grind it out, they said. Just keep grinding it out. It was simple enough to do at first. Just grind it out! But you begin to tire of it pretty quickly. After so much of the […]

    So bit by bit, they moved their things out of the apartment. They emptied the space that they had called home for the past three years, the space that they had called home during all that had happened to them in […]

    Oh shit…

    Yeah I know.

    We’re in this deep…
