My stories

A Snarl in the Pocket

A Snarl in the Pocket. Jack Mead, a sentient man. A man on whom the street opens. Collides. Fishes around in his guts like rusty hooks. Swallowed a long time ago when they were sharp. My little uglies. He referred to them. His viscera, scraped, churning, leaking out.

There are more signs for the Center but I am dubious. I still believe I am facing another city but I am caught at the head of a line of cars in a cloud of buzzing scooters and I cannot pull back. I gamble on the carousel, behind the ears and nose of a thundering steed, straining on the yoke like a gladiator, the oily wake chopping against the floor runners of this screaming chariot.

Boom.

Boom. All of this hell up into me precious little stem - where go not flower? where go not wilt? where go not die? where go not break a little by day and split at
