Who doesn't prefer a well-crafted fable to mere information? If words are tucked between glossy covers, or spoken by a pair of moist pouty lips (extra points for an exotic accent), they have to be true enough for everyday use. Belief-On-Demand. That'll work, right? Secrets held tight. Dreams fade in the daylight. Our darlings are…

There was the acid reflux and allergic reaction to casein. A cartilage-deficient left knee and pinched muscles in the small of her back. Karen Rainey was a wreck. But a sacrifice had to be made. Bills don't much care if one's body has turned against her. Karen had no choice but to climb aboard the…

The door closes in on me without warning, but then any seasoned slab of wood knows it's not my keeper. I have to watch for the signs and stay lithe and alert. To jump out of harm's way in order to ascend the many levels of understanding is Job #1. Not much else matters if…

If I'm perfectly honest, that's one toxic act you've got, and I can't get enough. I stand in front of your window–you've always got the lights on–and soak up all the icky details of your sick and twisted, touchy-feely fabricated history. Whenever I wait outside your house there's always a long line so I come…
