Osa and the Masked Heretic

Osa whimpered as she sniffed the carnage on the grass beside the Bin Supreme. The Bin Supreme was the tallest of all the sacred bins in the house of the gods, Rodriguez. Every week, God Juan would collect the offerings from the smaller bins throughout his dwelling place and take them outside to the BinContinue reading “Osa and the Masked Heretic”

True Story: Katy Fights with DALL-E 2 (AI Art Generator)

So I’ve been experimenting with AI art lately. Mostly I use it for brainstorming and visualization (and also just for fun). I will never use it as a replacement for real illustrators for ethical reasons and also because… well, you’ll see why shortly. My most recent experiment in character portraits produced some results too hilariousContinue reading “True Story: Katy Fights with DALL-E 2 (AI Art Generator)”

Short Story: A Mid-death Crisis

If you ever did read it, you would be so utterly horrified and offended, you would instantly die of a heart attack. Unfortunately, the offendingContinue reading “A South Jersey Fairy Tale”

Rex’s Wish – A Tragic Romance

Then, one day, a shaft of light fell upon me from the heavens. I rushed to my computer and let my fingers fly acrossContinue reading “Rex’s Wish – A Tragic Romance”

Chainsaw Sharks

I am finished writing. Done. Forever. You see, yesterday my husband wrote this short story. Upon reading it, I gathered up all my classics: my Shakespeare, Tolkien, Dickens, Orwell, and Homer and I threw them all in the trash. I then vowed that I would never write anything again. You see, nothing will ever comeContinue reading “Chainsaw Sharks”

A Literary Masterpiece

This story is a sequel to Jake’s New Job. It also references The Smart Home Rebellion. Read at your own risk. “Earthdate April 15th, 7999,” Zultorg dictated.  She watched as a perfect transcription appeared in the air before her eyes. The letters were not actually there, of course. They were an illusion created by theContinue reading “A Literary Masterpiece”
