My stories

Day 30

Andaw "Cancer? Insa's eyes are huge. "How do you know you're going to get cancer? "Zoom said she had it. "Who? "Zoom magazine. Shots of her going into the clinic off Tombawley Street. Besides, their fact checkers are legendary.

Day 29

Pila (continued) No, no, it's something else. It's not a movie. It's not all a movie. She's something else. It's like having a half-digested pill stuck in your throat. It feels like it will be wedged there forever, calcifying, resisting orders to dissolve. You swallow and swallow, stretching your throat muscles like wingbuds, and nothing happens, but you know it's there. Oh, where is she from?

Day 28

Pila Last night I dreamed about those boys again, only this time instead of me, they were chasing a little girl through the streets with their broom handle. I was watching from the perspective of some lazy guardian angel, floating above the scene in a cloud of white gas, as all four figures ran and ran, streaking crossways and back through the ill-lit streets and alleyways.

Day 27

Insa I would say Andaw's hiding something, but the man's a walking goldfish bowl. Every line on his face, every blemish, the suspect swelling of one pectoral muscle slash breast, it's all a kind of confession. That or a zoo he is cursed to carry with him, each of the exhibits screeching his misdoings. He'll only say he can't talk about it for my sake. I for my part tell him most things about myself, stopping just short of where I like to be nibbled.

Day 23-26

Dr. N. Quellar M.D. My fellow scholars of psychiatry, at this prestigious event, for which I must thank our kind sponsors, I would like to present new evidence supporting my original theory of CopyCatism, or Idolmorphosis. Since the blueprint case study of Tommy three years ago, there has been only limited evidence to support such hypotheses of celebrity imitation and the fame fetish. Limited, that is, until now. As both practising psychiatrist and naturally curious human, I am proud to present my findings regarding the case of Cadderine Harver.
