Where to Get a Taste of My Short Work

Just a lickle. Not the whole shebang...

RAVENOUS

"So this is my reward for seventy-nine years of life: some little fuck, some shitty little fuck takes a video of me pulling a gun out of my trousers and gunning down a crow in the park across from my apartment building. He posts it on YouTube and gets 18,000 views. Meanwhile I have to spend a night in the slammer with bona fide murderers."

This one is FREE because I love my curmudgeon and he wants you to love him, too.

RAPTURE

"Mind yourself," said my companion Horace as we arrived at the airport and unloaded my baggage from the back of his old jalopy. "The friendly skies are full of misery and unhappiness."

In this second installment of A Curmudgeon's Tale, my 80 year old curmudgeon begrudgingly flies to Portland to visit his daughter.

CHANDLER COMES OUT
A Parody of the 'Friends' TV series, appearing in the anthology 'Wilma Loves Betty' (Ed. Julie K. Trevelyan and Scott Brassart), Alyson Publications: 1999. Dated, I know. But it was my very first Amazon review. The reviewer said it went on way too long. Truth is, it was a perfectly timed teleplay.
