  • July 10, 2014

    It looks like the man of It Exists is headed to jail or prison, proving that no good deed goes unpunished. But the man is resourceful, maybe he’ll pull a rabbit out of his hat that will distract the detective long enough to slip away (that’s not a spoiler, just conjecture). Congrats again to Wes for wrapping…

  • Emma (or The Artist) V.

    V. (The Homeless Man’s Bedroom/Bathroom) Emma sits in front of Thomas and sighs, After she leaves the homeless man’s bedroom/bathroom. She was sitting on the train looking at pictures on her camera. She was trying not to be too impressed with herself, and partly thinking about the movie schedule for the coming night. Vincent Manelli…

  • It Exists 4. The Man and His God

    The man eventually makes his way back to the convenience store after a few minutes on the bed in his motel room. He had to settle his heart that was pounding in his chest and he could feel it hot around its edges. His mind replayed the scene at the store over and over. He…

  • July 3, 2014

    Maxwell Roberson has a gun? If he has a gun, then I want a gun. Or maybe that’s counter-intuitive… I hope you’re prepared for the possibility of disaster; it’s as inevitable as a sunrise. I don’t think I am, but a gun just doesn’t feel like a enough. I’m going to start saving for a…

  • That Nigga is Gonna be President – Stone Hand (leaders and Leadership)

    That nigga is gonna be president the Critic said, with a rolled cigarette on his lips, bobbing to a music unintelligible, unbearable to dogs. Stone Hand wrestled with the sound behind his forehead, shook it long enough to fall victim to the Critic’s stare and Critic saw him, stumbling amongst a blur of people distorting…

  • Emma (or The Artist) IV.

    IV. (Interlude – transportassault) Two weeks from today, Emma will set to work with her images of Susie after her late shift at the movie theater where she operated the ancient projector. She liked that she knew how to operate something that looked older than the theater itself and she was always happy to be…

  • It Exists 3. The Man Makes a Big Mistake

    The man is on the road and he drives through the Blue Ridge Mountains on his way to TN. It is late spring and the leaves are not doing their color show, but the mass of green in the leafy canopy of the mountain trees is just as pleasing to the man as he rolls…
