Toucannuí 13: Post-Dictatorship Spending Disorder

“The best way to learn a language is to move where to they speak it” is a salty old cliché because it’s true.

THE SUIT

“Surplus Property” is a story of passing worlds erased by time and appetite, and humble, steadfast lives not swept away so easily. You can’t keep a good regret from resurfacing, and our melancholy vignette began as a concept for a certain big-media detective character whose comic was cutting its price and its backpage short-story presence [...]

The G-Train

  So, the G Train. It’s kind of an amazing thing. Growing up I gave it the nickname “the train that doesn’t come,” mainly because it would never come. If there was one thing I could count on it was the fact that even if I was early by an hour the G-Train would find a [...]

It was one of those crystal clear days at the shore drawing the first crowds out to the windy boardwalk to comment on the high waves and test out sugary beverages nostalgically.

THE SCHMUCK DIARIES: Send in the Clones Part-1

What is it about Asian girls anyway?  Or specifically, what is it about Jewish guys and Asian girls?  I’ve long noticed the commonality of that particular interracial coupling. My theory: stereotypically, Asian men are domineering and Jewish women overbearing, so perhaps the Asian female wants to date the opposite of her father and the Jewish [...]

1000 Pennies

  We stood in the middle of the street staring up at her bedroom light. There was a slight flicker, probably from the candles she kept beside the bed. It looked warm, inviting, comfortable.

STEEL CITY NOIR: Lucky Eddie

  For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been, “Lucky Eddie.” If not for the fact that my birth certificate and social security card both say, “Edward F. Munson,” I’d believe my first name was Lucky. Not sure how it all started or who started it. As is the case with most family [...]
