Another Angel Falls by
Price: Free! Words: 690. Language: English. Published: August 22, 2022 . Categories: Fiction » Fantasy » Short stories, Poetry » American poetry » General
Do what thou wilt. The sacred order spilt. Rebellion at any price. Redefine paradise. What is done may not be undone. Defy the all-seeing one. Deify the self. A soul to sell. Time will tell. Heaven or hell?
Humanity: A Lost Cause by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 1,130. Language: English. Published: April 21, 2022 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General
Sound the alarm. We have come to great harm. Is it a show of force to demand more civil discourse? Do we stand on the brink of extinction? Death comes to all without distinction. But maybe such a fate can be averted. Many people converted to a new cause; one without any flaws; governed by its own magic laws. Applause?

There is a great blight upon this earth. In His name, death can be conquered in rebirth. In modern times many gods feign. Only in His name does salvation reign.
Loyalty: An Object Lesson by
Price: Free! Words: 1,030. Language: English. Published: April 11, 2022 . Categories: Fiction » Mashups, Poetry » American poetry » General
Feather your own nest at another's expense. Disregard the Golden Rule at your peril. All of life is a morality play. Rogues and rapscallions live to betray in roles tailored made. Atone for your sins, lest your comeuppance begins. Not on your terms, to say the least. On sin do not the wicked feast? Loyalty is not a mere abstraction. Retribution accords divine satisfaction.
Castle Gothic: Volume One: Edgar H. Price and Chance Castle Verses by

Edgar comes to Castle Gothic with hopes of scouting antiquarian curios for his private collection, but the castle has other plans.
Artificial Pathways by
Price: Free! Words: 790. Language: English. Published: January 8, 2022 . Categories: Fiction » Anthologies » Poetry - general
There is a version of you that lives for infinity as artificial intelligence and robots are growth industries. Put your trust in them implicitly. Into a computer upload your mind digitally. What will you see? Reality? Facsimile? In the digital age, what does it even mean "to be"?
Posthuman by
Price: Free! Words: 2,060. Language: English. Published: December 26, 2021 . Categories: Fiction » Anthologies » Poetry - general
Hey, mere human, at last surpass your biological limitations. By the “miracle” of artificial intelligence and robotics, become your own enhanced creation. Imagine with heightened perception. Become a virtual artist of limitless conception. By the virtue of data portals you are immortal. A new form of wishful thinking by humans and machines linking? For yourself choose. What do you have to lose?
Christmas Cornucopia by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 1,560. Language: English. Published: December 13, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General
It's a most harmonious occasion. Resplendent colors nearly everything emblazon. A force--a spirit--that casts a magical pall. Festive gaiety falls upon one and all. Herein lies a simple invitation. Find it its words and images seasonal inspiration.
Creepy Crawlers by
Price: Free! Words: 890. Language: English. Published: October 20, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General, Fiction » Horror » Weird fiction
The gamut of types, they certainly run: Spider, earwig, silverfish, that sorta thing. Heaven forbid they ever take wing. For creeping and crawling, they are unparalleled fun. From sunup to sundown, certainly they hide about and around waiting for dark. Not a lark it is. Survival of the fittest it is. And you're in the show, baby. Zoinks! Some even glow.
Doctor Bliss by
Price: Free! Words: 3,000. Language: English. Published: October 18, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » Themes & motifs » General, Fiction » Fantasy » Short stories

Eyes For Me, Not Thee by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 5,690. Language: English. Published: August 30, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General
Imagine a creature with complete mastery over himself…at least in his mind. Naught said about him is mere flattery, he says, and he’s certainly one of a kind. Read his memoirs, if you will, and see his vanity spill and spill and spill. Is it honesty or mere peacock pride? You decide.
Ms. Freckle Face by
Price: Free! Words: 4,310. Language: English. Published: April 6, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General
To the blight, her angelic face is genetically predisposed. In shame in the attic--but not alone--by choice she is closed to the cruel world, this otherwise delightful girl. Sometimes in life you just can’t win. You gotta take a few on the chin and bounce back better than before. With courage, walk through that door to re-enter the stream of life.
From Your Darling Borderline by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 1,850. Language: English. Published: March 11, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General
Even broken people seek true love. But when someone can't form lasting bonds, can't truly trust anyone—not even themselves—how can they find it? And if given a chance to go to a mystical place that guaranteed such could be found, would they and their lover go? Would they want to?
The Singularity by
Price: Free! Words: 1,980. Language: English. Published: February 9, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General, Fiction » Science fiction » High tech
Ah, what a time to be alive, friend, with high-tech firms on a quest for artificial intelligence in which machines do more and humans do less. (God bless?) Some say it’s a slippery slope; some say it offers newfound hope. Either way, A.I. is here to stay. Enter but one possible version of that future. Utopia? Dystopia? Something else? Add your name to this guest list.
Grue by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 900. Language: English. Published: February 9, 2021 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » African American, Fiction » Horror » Weird fiction
Gravestones. The rattling of bones. Misty moors. Creaky floorboards. Time-honored tradition? Mere superstition? I am infinite in my reach. Careful when using my name.
Clanging by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 4,100. Language: English. Published: December 14, 2020 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » African American, Fiction » Themes & motifs » Psychological
Someone has planted strange seeds in poor Doug’s head. Won’t you help him pour them out? Worse, he sees things that aren’t there. (Un)fair? A switch has been flipped in his brain. Poor Doug is firmly in a schizophrenic phase, and his speech is ever affected. It’s no easy task—mask?—that he bears, with his disordered reality. Listen to him tell his story in a voice uniquely his...frizz gee whiz.
My Inamorata by

Some people are eternally connected, as are some things—large and small, seen and unseen—in surprising ways. Even the most mundane tasks can awaken and stimulate new discovery of these links. In their seaside château, such a discovery awaits the Marquis of Deverone and his inamorata, Irina, a mystic queen.
Lilyaine Flonia by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 3,900. Language: English. Published: January 3, 2020 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General, Fiction » Science fiction » Utopias & dystopias
In your Earth dreams, friend, go to Zylomead, where, with a lovely flower creature as your host and eternal companion, you can find new hope in those lush alien skies, and elsewhere, if only you let yourself truly go. Trust your dreams. But hurry, a robot apocalypse on Earth looms large. Do you want to risk being caught in its wake when, perhaps, you have a means of escape...and more?
Out of Darkness Comes Light by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 7,780. Language: English. Published: December 6, 2019 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General
Their mission is no less the fate of humanity itself. A junkie down on her luck, a tycoon on a death trek through a desert, a professor who says science has an answer for everything, and a crippled athlete who has lost his will to live. But how can they triumph?
The Butterfly Effect by
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 1,460. Language: English. Published: October 23, 2019 . Categories: Poetry » American poetry » General

An ambitious lyric poet in the age of chivarly and noble kings falls on hard times and hits rock bottom at the height of his fame. His prowess with a pen is no more. But one night he finds inspiration anew in a transformational dream. But what becomes of him? Not even he himself knows for sure, because dreams are elusive things and reality is just chaos in disguise.

Anomalies exist in the universe, and true bliss is attainable. Cloud Nine, a little cloud of a world is well within your grasp, just like it is in Sharon Stone's. She's not the famous movie star but a long-time resident of C9. Won't you pay her a call?

An eternal truth: Autumn lasts forever through a poet's pen. Gaze with him through a timeless window at panoramic scenes of autumn gold as the trees lose their green and the days grow short, far too short, but, ah, ever bold.
