Zombie tale? Ghouls?
Strange. If they are zombies, they are smart. Pretty gross for only 100 words.

Re: Mermaid Sushi
proves my point that sushi fanatics will eat almost anything raw! pass me the tempura over raw fish any day.
I actually thought this one was a nice visual.

Re: Emergency Landing
This one was well written, but it feels more like the description of a single action than as a story. In reading the comments, I can see how this is actually part of a larger piece. As a stand alone this one falls flat for me, but as part of a bigger piece it may work. I do get the superhero vibe, b...

Re: The Architects
At first I thought you were talking specifically about coral reefs. However, I think after reading the ending you are talking about the foundation of all life. I liked it. The drabble has a broad spec fic appeal kind of making you think about your origins. One of the best Cthulhu tales I remember li...

Maybe it is the moustache mythos, but I cant help but think the moustache is whispering to her. It is the moustache that makes it scary.

Re: Rise of the Fallen
Is it like a body snatcher parasite that is reanimating the corpses? Also title reminded me of the Transformers movie a while back. I like the title... it is a good title. That is probably the reason they used in the crappy movie. Thankfully there were no decepticons here. Speaking of transformers.....

Hey Strawman, that is a damn fine poem you wrote. I had missed that one when you posted it earlier.

Re: Death, Remembered
Haha. It is nice to see this come back to the forefront. I looked down at the date. I was posted when I was in Missouri. A poem! With beautiful prose to boot. Loved it. I get the Cain and Abel reference, but I think you can read this a lot of different ways. It could be two cultures, two perspective...

Re: Drabble: "Entrapment"
It is true. I mean hell who has been almost killed by someone texting or talking on their cell phone. Realistically though, I will admit I am not the best driver and I have talked on my cell phone while driving. I have even texted which is surprising since I am one of the least skilled people when i...

Re: Revisionist History
This one got a chuckle out me. Our dependence on Wikipedia is certainly telling.
Re: Just
I wasn't a radiohead fan. This one just makes me scratch my head. It kind of makes me think of that called the happening where people just laid over and killed themselves but I do not think that was the point. However, it is as good a time as ever to say congrats on your drabble which appeared in la...

Re: We Were Conquistadors
Absolutely strawman. I do not think it is a far jump from the colonial enterprises of the 16th and 17th centuries to the western capitalism of today. Hell they are not separate entities. One gave way to the other. I think the bigger conundrum is trying to wrap our heads around the renaissance. In sc...

Re: We Were Conquistadors
The title on this one sent me haring off, looking for other pop culture references and trying to find the "joke" that I appeared to be missing. Perhaps just "Conquistadors"? ::scratches head:: umm... well.. Mel Gibson and Captain Carabajal are both racists... lol. No relation. It is what came to me...

Re: The Mo-Keepers [Moustache Mythos]
moustache is like the nyarlahotep of a new age and Beatrice is of course Cthulhu.
This one has an almost attack of the killer tomatoes vibe. I am serious about you guys putting these together in a short story collection. There are some hiccups in continuity, but it is so ridiculous it is good.

Re: We Were Conquistadors
Thanks Varda. I am glad you like a little vagary. It reminds me of another piece I wrote featuring Captain Carabajal. In Giusewa the priest mentions killing demons and throwing them back into the pit. I submitted it for the Pseudopod contest (and just recently posted it in the short story forums). I...
