In case you hadn’t noticed, the website has had a makeover I’m not entirely thrilled with the rotating header images, but they’ll do for now. How do you like the changes? Thumbs up or thumbs down? This is a story about the decay of society, the spreading epidemic of white trash mentality, and the violent legacy bound in blood, passed from father to son. This story is noteworthy because, in general, Shannon cannot write short stories. Every time he tries, it ends up around 30,000 words. He wrote this with one goal in mind: to make it as short as possible. As of this writing, it is the shortest story he has written. This ghost story originated as a writing prompt in a creative writing class where students came up with settings and then swapped them. Shannon received “1940-45, Louisiana, an old cabin with broken down furniture.” It’s not a very scary story. It’s included here because he did a decent job with establishing the setting and mood. This is the beginning of a novelette Shannon wrote in the late nineties. This section was published in Confluence a few years ago. It is unclear if he will do anything more with the project. It’s too short to stand on it’s own and too long to be a short story, but Shannon has no desire to change the story in any fashion. An excerpt from a novelette Shannon wrote in the late nineties. This section was published in Confluence a few years ago. It is unclear if he will do anything more with the project. It’s too short to stand on it’s own and too long to be a short story, but Shannon has no desire to change the story in any fashion. Two short pieces that deal with life in the dark. The following is an excerpt from a science fiction novelette that Shannon wrote in 2005. He intends to return to it once he’s finished the Heretics Quest storyline. When this story was written, only Rangers wore black berets. That’s changed now. The Rangers wear tan berets now because the regular army decided all of them should wear black ones. This story has seeds of truth, but is more fiction than not, hence the “fiction” classification. Shannon will not clarify which portions are true, so don’t ask. This might be a story about Shannon’s vacation to the Greek island of Lesbos, but it probably isn’t. What happens when you combine a boring cave tour with Shannon and a big cup of Mt. Dew? Here are a few ways to entertain yourself the next time you find yourself at Walmart and losing the fight for your sanity. Shannon has personally tested all of these methods at some point in his life, so he can vouch for their therapeutic and medicinal effects.  (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

“The End of Innocence” has also been called “The End of Childhood.” Regardless of what you call it, most people find it humorous. This story won first place in the humor category of the 2006 WV Writers’ Competition and will be printed in an upcoming anthology, a “Best of” collection of the contest’s finest winners over the last ten years. |
