In “Antwon Webb and the Grave Suitcase, ” a homeless vet finds a dumped suitcase in the trash that forces him on a journey to avenge a young girl, who is more than she seems.

“The Gift Bag” is about a middle-aged woman, with a mortgage, debt, and kids, who steals strange suitcase when she discovers her wealthy best friend uses it to turn a cheap necklace into priceless jewelry.

A couple in "Future Baggage," teleport to their new home base on an airless planet and a seemingly broken teleporter delivers an endless stream of baggage that will crush them.

​AUG 1991:  THE PERFECTLY WONDERFUL WONDERFOOT

  Yeah. So, it's like that and in trying to find my way out of the clutter, I found a horror story I wrote back in the day: August 1991. It still makes me laugh because I'm old and rotting AND the story still hits my wonderfully perfect funny bone.

I'm pretty sure the magazine is long gone.  The only thing that turns up is a Fusion Magazine in El Paso. Nope, Fusion Creative Media Magazine was based in Edison, NJ.   Cover Art: Masks by Allen Bush. I don't know who to credit for the art that accompanies my story. 

Totem   for   the
​Reluctant   witness T-shirt


​A twisting smear connect a staring eye ball, a scream, an eye looking away, and widen eye and, uncertainty, and a wordless gasp. It's a commentary on the horror of an oppressive society and the need for better whistleblower protections.

Lovin'    That   Razor   burn   
It's    only   flesh!    store


​Gruesome digital art of a mustached Frankenstein with his skin raw. Apparently he loves loves loves the razor burn. After all, it's only flesh and flesh heels. I mean heals. Oh the horror, but his hair looks fab. Originally created with conte crayons.
