A word was missing from a poem Jay DiNitto submitted to a writing contest in his teenage years. The poem was terrible nonsense but it got published anyway, and the word's absence haunts him to this day. He continues to write to erase that one error from his memory. So far it persists.

Currently you can find Jay contributing to the ever-running Buzzgrinder. Formerly he helped out at Noisecreep and various music-related print zines and websites of yore.

In 2011 he released an e-book of flash fiction. Bored in the Breakroom. He is currently finishing up a novel, A Season Underneath, and will begin the agonizing query process soon.

He lives in Pittsburgh with his wife and two children.

• Jaybreak: @benpike Political nihilism overlaps a tad, because "laws" would be subjective/contractual, nothing absolute like monopolist state laws.
