Straight From Andromeda - excerpts from a book I wrote when I was about 13 (and boy can you tell). It's actually indeed quite funny, if you're into asinine humor. Check it out. It's kind of silly.
A Kite Against The Sky - the story of a girl who enters into the sanctity of Central Park to realize nothing is quite as it seems.
This was originally done in response to a Sophomore English fiction assignment; I thought I'd share it.
Sherlock, Watson, and Sniffles The Cat - the story of Sherlock and Watson as teenage boys in search of the neighbor's pet cat.
It's their first-ever case, before they grow up and professionally solve mysteries. This is before they were good at it.
Playing Telephone If you stare at the phone long enough, will it ring? (Hint: No.) Lain awaits a very important phone call.
Unpacking In what order DO we put the porn tapes?
I lost myself in a supermarket. Really. How can I FIND MYSELF?!?
My Mailman Looks Like Santa Probably one of the most wrong things you will ever read.
The Girl In Purple A poignant comment about suicide and the evilness of peers. Appropriate for back-to-school.
The Porcelean Doll in the Zebra Print Bra Trying to capture post-breakup restlessness and bitterness.
A Case of the Chills Has anyone ever told you that the reason you were shivering was because someone was walking over your grave?
Probe A 1984-esque nightmare short story involving stimulation of parts of the brain. A little psychology, a little sci-fi, a lot of unhappiness.
Read it when you're in an awful mood because I don't want to be responsible for bringing anyone down.
Confession Tell me what is ailing you, my son. A tribute to Lizzy and Danimal.
the storm king sleeps The tale of a tour guide in an art museum. Art niveau for the chicken soup's soul. (wink)
Figaro RPGs are bad for you. Your standard cyberpunk piece.
The Pay Phone The third part of Alice In Wonderland.
Written in second person from the point of view of the Wyoming Valley Mall.
I kid you not.

All of the things you could have said but didn't.

The Rapture The soliloquy of the left behind.

Shirley Takes A Nap Modern retelling of "Sleeping Beauty"
A Fifty-Fifty Chance Giselda voluntarily gives up her free will, finds that fate rewards the lost.
(Cooler than this description sounds, I promise.)
Interventions We want you fix your life. Or kill yourself. a story ben would write
Tea a story written for CW class, the assignment being a descriptive setting
Copy 16 another for CW class, a GENRE story! this is science fiction.
It's kind of cliche because, in general, genre fiction is.
SUMMER!!! I've been working on writing a story a day (okay, so maybe I haven't been COMPLETELY loyal to this pursuit). Then the good ones I edit for ideas, re-type, and put... HERE.
Ballerina As she dangles from the Market Street Bridge, the locals wonder if she'll jump.

Superman Childhood ends.
The Pi Kid The boy who has the first five hundred digits of pi memorized has to come to terms with life.
Reflections of a Tub-Sitter A girl sits in her tub, thinks about her ex, reflects on life. Humor. Special thanks to the opening sequence of "Adaptation" and the help of ValVal for the writing of this piece.
The Hell You Know A girl catches a glimpse of her future life with her crush. Will she go for it? Note: This also includes a bathtub. It's kind of creepy.
