Some Essays

In the 1990s, I did quite a bit of traveling, and I went to Eastern Europe a couple of times, visiting nearly every country there in two trips. One of the most spectacular cities I saw was Veliko Tarnovo, the old capital of Bulgaria. Ruins dating back over 1000 years still stood:

But besides that, it was just a beautiful city. It was built on a...

The HRP-PW Stories

feeds@yuku.com (decagon) — Fri, 09 Sep 2005 20:11:41 GMT

I wrote the following stories for Wrestleline.com, before it died. Thought I might put them here, just for safe keeping. I posted over 50 columns for Wrestleline; I didn't miss a week when my son was born, when I busted my head in a mountain biking accident or when I had my surgery.

Innocense frothing

Hey all,

I'm thinking of applying for an MA in English with a "creative thesis" option, meaning that instead of writing a traditional thesis I could write an original piece of fiction.

To get into such a program, I need to put together a portfolio of creative works. Sadly, I've been writing next to nothing for quite some time, and with only a couple of months, if that, to come up with good writing, I'm a bit worried about the prospect.

So, I was wondering:...

Another Dance

by David Pierce
2004 by David Pierce

Psychic contagion infiltrated the lovers, who, trysting on soul-plane expanses, wakened to their greater selves, a host of archetypes: Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Daughter, Son, and Friend. They found themselves wearing an odd assortment of corsets, jackboots, and nose-rings. Morning brought them sleep, and respite from confusion. By late afternoon they accepted the change, and assumed their place on the mind's horizon:...

Rubio's Guide to Writing

Our good friend Rubio posted these over at Iron Life in the Writers' Forum there. He was banned and the Writers' Forum was closed, so I thought I would post them here.

A little fun....

Soon it was his turn.

How many?
Two, two. He signalled to the asian man with his fingers. Two.
Four! Cried the asian man, delighted.
No, two, two!

AWAKENING

Lieutenant Alicia Aldernay didn't like Cazamar, but her orders didn't leave room for preference. He was her mission partner. Worse, she had to accept his command in matters directly involving their mission. Thankfully, although Cazamar was a competent interstellar pilot himself, Alicia retained command of those things connected with navigating their tiny starship.

Cazamar looked remarkably human. Almost. It was...

"His Just Deserts" by Steve Berger-Feedback Needed

This is what I have written for my major assignment in the play writing class I am taking. No, my name isn't Steve Berger. I haven't done any extensive proof-reading/editing yet. I was hoping to get some constructive feedback from you folks, preferably as soon as possible. Anything would be welcome. I think I'm handing it in on Monday. It's rather long, so I don't expect many of you to read it.

this is a little story i wrote
read it and tell me what you think about it

Today started no different for me than any other day. I awoke around ten in the morning and cursed my mother for bringing me in to this world. Life is shit, or at least it had been for awhile now. I rolled out of the rack and headed for the shower paying no attention to anything but the task at hand. Right before I got to the bathroom, I stepped in a big pile of dog shit. Well not big, but you know what I...

If you look about eight feet to your left you should be able to see me. Dont spose you should look too hard, though; you aint gonna like whats in front of ya. Yeah, Scotty got me pretty good with that axe, the one just over there, by my feet. Heads all caved in, nothing nobody really needs to look at too hard. Ugly stuff.
Guess I should be angry with Scotty. Wasnt like I egged him on or anything. But I was pretty sure he hadnt taken his pills, and I didnt do...

This poem was made five minutes ago off the top of my head... enjoy! This is just a light-hearted mean-nothing poem. Actually, I don't really even like cats, lol.

I Found A Cat

I found a cat on the side of the road
And I decided to bring it home.
I went to bed early that night
So in the morning we could roam.

In the morning Mother asked,
"What's that awful stench in the house?"
