Hector Goes to Hell

This is the story of Hector Bauza, bad as Charlie. This isn't really a story, but a tirade aimed at his insolence. Hey, Hector: FUCK YOU. I told you not to post multiple stories today, but you did it anyway. You are a rule-breaker, and for that, your grade will be affected. Nour, take note!

The Infinite Tale Experiement

Time wore down and out. It was, perhaps, inevitable. Seven students congregating on the eve of each Tuesday. Trying to learn. Trying to hone their craft. But have they grasped what makes a story? Have they discovered the beginning, the middle, and, most importantly, the end? My sources are inconclusive.

Value For Money

There’s a down side to buying a cheap phone.

He had this 30-minute conversation and now it feels like his head is going to explode.

If he were to do it all over again would he change anything?

Maybe he’d still have a cheap phone but not the long conversation.

Dogdays

He’s a hardworking man. He put his bag down and took his watch off. He placed his pack of cigarettes and his lighter on the commode. He hung his suit in the closet. He’s been daydreaming about this at work, about when he’d actually get in bed for real dreaming.

Retired Smart Asses

They meet at Starbucks for their weekly challenge. After ordering their coffee, they bring out the clock and board. They arrange their pieces, look to each other and they’re ready to start. Each plays his move and quickly taps the clock for the next. They trash talk, but gracefully. Checkmate!

In the Out Door

Royal Prize Package

Let all who cheer, Sir Charles-
Be quiet now and seated-
I sing now of the mission-
Our Hero’s just completed-
To find the Holy Grail-
He launched a big campaign-
An army he has driven back-
A dragon he has slain-
The King will reward him-
With daughters royal hand-
Plus one third of the kingdom-
And a car worth seven grand.

Oh No She Didn't

Sherry noticed a book on her co-workers desk that she read in college about a Korean family during World War II. Excited to talk about her common interest, she mentioned, “isn’t it terrible what the Japanese did to your country?” Sumi’s response was of course: “I’m actually Japanese.” Snap.

Once upon a time..

There were two little boys named Andy and Pepe. They loved poking this bear. They kept poking and poking until the bear turned around and said, "You know what? You are right." Shut up.

A Moral for Dreamers

Common sense does not deceive-
And when this fact is learned-
Reality and make-believe-
Are easily discerned.
To tell the two of them apart-
Gives Man a cause to ponder-
For if you can then you are smart-
And if you can't, you wander.

The Final Boss of Storywriting

On day I hope to run my own company, so no one can boss me around. No one can tell me that I have to do something on a certain day, or not at all. No one can criticize my approach or poor work ethic, cause I’ll be the boss, man!

I Deserve an A+

The don't rules apply to me. I do as I please. When someone says "Andy, don't do that," I think to myself 'self, why listen?' I drive over the speed limit. I drink on the streets. But most badass of all, I post all my stories in a blog way past due.

Bad political Commentary

Random acts of violence are not the same as acts of rebellion but tell that to Ronald Raite the boy that could smell them. He smelled Tunisia, Jordan, and Egypt too, the same way junkies sniff up glue. But alas could not tell them apart from the violence in Bahrain that smelled like fart.

Beliefs

I don't believe in writers block. I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in Santa Clause. I don't believe in Hell. I don't believe in God. I don't believe in Jamaica but here I am. Nobody believes in Cereal Sweepstakes but I won. Now everybody knows why Life Cereal is The Best Morning a Mom Can Give a Kid which I wrote but I still don't believe it.

Hana is 12

"I fuck you up!" Hana screamed, "I fuck you up!"
I put the chapstick back in her hand and she quit thrashing around in the car seat.
Dana and I got back in the car and continued driving north on the parkway, the snow hypnotizing us in the darkness.
What did Tolstoy say about family?

Dana
