Insulted and Intrigued
May. 14th, 2009 | 08:41 am
"A writer hand delivered me a story one day stating that we could not deny publishing it. Insulted by his confidence, but also intrigued by it, I read the story right away only to find that it was absolutely incredible. We published it in the next issue of our literary journal and our readers felt the same. As a writer myself, I remember feeling envious of that writer. I had never written or published a story that I felt such conviction for, until now."

Insanity, Reflected
Apr. 9th, 2009 | 02:00 pm
"I discovered when I looked into my personal human mirror that the image I encountered there, my daily reality, was without question not the person I knew myself to be on this side of the mirror or when I closed my eyes and could no longer see the lies; further, I realized that the image I was so mesmerized by smiled only when I smiled, had more or fewer wrinkles depending upon the direction from which I was viewing myself, and that was absolutely weightless!"
