SHORT FICTION
“Yearning is not knit between her brows, fear does not make it into her small, dark eyes. All she sees is synthetic skin: peeling, fissured, cracked. Every now and then, she can feel tiny flakes of fiberglass slowly falling from her frame and beginning to collect in her hollow feet.” From Scenes from the Two-Table Bakery Shop featured in Gone Lawn
“Amidst the idle talk of gossipmongers, those with a fondness for spiritual solutions have decided that it is a curse, or perhaps a village spirit that haunts the man. Others have concluded that it is not a ghost, but unusual—yet theoretically possible—pheromone activity that surrounds Somsak.” From In His Wake featured in Anak Sastra
“That’s what I see, a caramel apple, every time I’m driving down the freeway and I round a bend and Mount Bartizan comes into view. I also see my sister.” From Birds in My Ears and the Devil on My Shoulder featured in Origami
