I got an idea for a short story or novel about the real lives of gangsters and mob bosses. You know how in the movies there are all these henchmen who are willing to risk their lives for the boss? And most of them die? I kind of wonder how that really plays out.

NOTE: This essay is adapted from some experimental fiction I've been kicking around. No point in reccing this, it doesn't belong on the front page. But if you enjoy it (or if you don't) let me know in the comments. As always, thanks to anyone who takes the time.
The fire sale was surprisingly lively for an early morning. Here and there people rushed
into the burning building, removing objects to the dibs pile while just as frantically the
presumed owners of the home did the same, occasionally dropping an item into the
deductible pile which sat next to the Peedee.
No, I am not talking about Clinton's pronouncements which are certified 100% pure bullshit. Does any c99er need explanations? Rhetorical question. As a friend of mine said, "weirderer and weirderer".
Almost half of the Dems are still feeling the Bern.
Partakers of fiction are often familiar with the concept of "The Idiot Ball".
DATELINE - Philadelphia, July 7, 2016.
In what has already been the strangest, unpredictable political season, things just got weirder. Much weirder.
How we got to this time and place will be written about for generations to come. One thing is for certain - nothing, absolutely nothing is certain anymore.
You may not be familiar with Greg McGoon. Personally, I'd never heard of him until yesterday. I'm told he's an actor and a children's author.
IMDB tells me he has appeared in Pulp Art with Ed, Waiting Room, and No Way Out. I've actually heard of the last of those.
As an author, he's been known (but not by me) for Out of the Box.
When Devin finds an empty box in his new house, his imagination immediately takes off running...but his friends can't seem to see the magic in Devin's cardboard box. Undeterred, Devin continues to play out wondrous adventures and journeys--all stemming from the seemingly empty box. Out of the Box is a heartwarming story of the power of one boy's imagination and the limitless places our creativity can take us. Join Devin on his exciting adventures!
For a second book, he wanted to write about self worth and transformation.
