A bit of a departure this holiday season: seven stories instead of one!
(Think of it as micro-fiction stocking stuffers.)
- “Not About Lumberjacks” – As it says in the name, this story is not about lumberjacks!
- “Be a Man” – Sometimes kids grow up faster than they should.
- “Fucking Asshole” – It’s a story about a guy named Fucking Asshole.
- “The Intersection” – Life in a tightly wound world…
- “Vlad Stovepipe” – Yeah, it’s about a vampire snowman!
- “Hardcore” – Tell this guy wrestling’s fake…
- “Another Christmas Eve” – A story about one family’s Christmas Eve tradition.
Content Advisory: “Be a Man”: Child abuse, mention of a dead dog (by gunshot), alcohol abuse, and murder. “Fucking Asshole”: Uhm…swearing! “The Intersection”: Anger, violence (shooting), and family loss of a child (shooting). “Vlad Stovepipe”: Cartoon violence. “Hardcore”: Swearing and violence. “Another Christmas Eve”: Divorce, violence (family fistfight), swearing, depression, loneliness.

Ah, how I loved “Be a Man”. Justice is the sweetest emotion.
Thanks for listening, DJ. “Be a Man” is a bit of a brutal story. Sadly, the dog bit is based on the true story of someone I once knew. But, like you, that justice side of it is something I like as well.
Also, glad you liked “Vlad Stovepipe,” too!
Vampire snowman. What great visuals!
