This is a collection of some of my recent work

This file is named Alice Day 1886.jpg.
Alice, dear dear Alice, the ever so lovely Alice. Alice was an incorrigible recidivist and flagrant in her self indulgent hedonism. And yet, even and in spite of that, a tryst with a White Rabbit? Really? She thought not.

White Rabbit was crushed. And that more by the laughing way she spurned his advances than he might have been by a simple rejection of his suggestion.

"Did you know that this will sever bone and sinew and muscle with relative ease? Fine steel, and well balanced, comfortable to the hand. And well sharpened too. Did you see how clean that cut was? But I digress... What was it that you wanted?"

"And for Pete's sake, would ya please stop gawking at the dragon chick? It'll bleed out soon enough now."

I told you. He slipped on that hose and whacked his head, and when he tried to get up he stumbled and fell into the pool. We saw him from the upstairs window. By the time we got down here he was floating there, just like he is now. We never even saw him try to do anything.

This file is named Hot Water.jpg.
Hot water, cold water, water in between hot and cold. It didn't seem to matter. Sooner or later the specimens always stopped paddling about and simply drowned. A most peculiar situation indeed.

And what was with all that arm waving they seemed to be given to? They didn't understand Universal, so any attempt at communication was not likely to succeed. But they sure were noisy for such little bugge... See More

This file is named Jafari.jpg.
Everyone agreed, it was just bad luck. They said the flash was memorable, albeit short lived. Then they'd all laugh about how none of them were old enough to have seen it. Jafari had been here for quite some time now, and he still didn't understand what was so funny.

Nothing here was funny to Jafari, and the glorat was just another example of the unfathomable humor everyone here seemed to enjoy. Glorats were shrewd and they would cheat you if they could. And they were given to a vicious bent if you complained, the only polite and acceptable protest being to laugh. But business was business, and Jafari was goal oriented.

This file is named Judas.jpg.
And so, with the cold eyes of Judas upon him, "Could you please not stare at me like that!" is what he said.

This file is named Lambchops.jpg.
By the time she was five years of age the child was prescient enough to realize that most everyone was obviously and merely a sacrificial lamb, and so it was that she imagined herself throughout the course of most of her activities. But she had a darker side, a side that had seen more chalk outlines than most adults would see in a lifetime.

Lambchops. It was a cute nickname and far more accurate than anyone suspected.

This file is named Parry and thrust.jpg.
She spoke softly, but unmistakably. "It is all about parry and thrust. And yet, more about the thrust than the parry. The thrust must be clean and penetrating. It is not to provoke a response as is the parry. No, the thrust is intended to bring a clean end, a quick and painless end. A decisive conclusion. In that sense it is to be seen as merciful and only the wielder of the blade is to have an ex... See More

Mota was the latest in a series of Motivational Androids marketed by Andro more for advertisement humor than for any real intended use, but the model had become an unusual hit in the market. People were crediting the sassy droid with rejuvenating their purposeful lives and she became a leading seller.

This file is named White Rabbit.jpg.
White Rabbit hit the skids in a bad way after Alice's mocking rejection. Often he was so intoxicated on one substance or another that his grip on reality became tenuous.

And always, always there were these visions of Alice. No matter where he looked he saw her there, laughing at him. His bitter tears did not wash away his pain, did not assuage his angst.

Over time White Rabbit became embittered and conflicted in his feelings. Certainly the drugs didn't help his lucidity.
