She opened her bleary eyes, when the cat, all seven pounds of squirming flesh, climbed onto her belly. Squinting into the sunlight streaming in from the open window, she discovered that she was now the weary possessor of a pounding headache, and at some point, had managed to lose both a tooth and a spouse….
Black Magic
Of course, men can be witches. At least, old desperate men like me can. Especially, if you’ve been ridiculed all your life for your supposedly unnatural interest in jewelry and heels. So when supermodel Vera Brixtom decided to OD alone in her car, a few kilometers away from the party district of Ziro, it was…
Welcome to my Pity Party
Do you understand disgust? Self-disgust? Then welcome. Welcome to Amel’s pity party. No, no…we aren’t hiding under fake names. This is her party.

Why that Bimbo Smart

Yakshi (Part 1 of 2)
“I don’t really get your premise. If they were just female vampires, why do your yakshis target just handsome virgin boys. Why not gorge on anyone at all,” said Neha “In fact I could gladly recommend a pervert or two as a midnight snack for the ladies.” “Sexual urges, machi,” replied Nair, the self-appointed expert…
What Women Want….on their birthdays
The truth of the matter is that I don’t know what I want for my birthday. The truth of the matter is that I want you to find it out. Dip into my subconscious, read it like a book, and figure it out for me. Until you do that, I’m going to pretend I actually…
