Hilarious

I sent an e-mail out to some peeps about getting in a submission and I shared a little story like this:

"My father used to sit in my room because I was too scared to fall asleep all the time. He thought it might help to tell me that I should imagine that Jesus was sitting in there with me, watching while I fell asleep. Well that scared the shit out of me. Thanks dad."

Then my dad wrote me back later a message like this:

"I said that Jesus was watching you? What kind of crack was I on? Seriously, I can't remember ever having said such a thing!"

The kind of crack that makes you play music on Classon Ave with a stranger? That's crack I can get down with...love me some pops.

Haunting Post


When we were younger our parents used to take us to Vancouver and we would always go to the aquarium. I remember at the Orca whale tank you could go below ground and watch them swim through the glass. The turquoise chlorine water would glow and the massive whales would slowly swim in repetitive circles, it seemed as though it took hours for their bodies to pass by me and the sounds of the water pressure through the glass was terrifying. I was mesmerized and haunted by these animals. I have had dreams and nightmares my whole life about whales hovering and floating around me ever since and have never been able to shake that they are mad at me (us) and then they beach themselves to remind us how evil we are.



Just a haunting story to share in anticipation of your stories. Check here for information on how to submit.

Haunting Continued....

Is that a ghost on stage with us?

So I have been terrified of ghosts my whole life, but I have decided that I am not allowed to see them so hopefully I wont. ever. Doing all sorts of searches on "haunting" just to get some ideas and explore the theme more.

I found this site where people submit photo's they have taken that have exposed images which appear to be apparitions.......could be totally bogus who knows. But it's fun to look at in a what the hell am I doing, this is scary kind of way. Some of them are really freaky! Maybe I should send in our picture.

What haunts you? What is haunting that dude across the street? Have you ever seen a ghost? Ignoring problems will come back to haunt you? What cool spots do you frequently haunt? Haunting images? Dreams? Monkeys?

Please e-mail me with any short stories, memories, quotes, photo's, doodles, sentences, fiction, non-fiction, poems, monkeys, etc.. that the word or concept inspires you to create! Don't think too hard about it, chances are the first thing that comes to mind is what you should roll with. For whatever reason (I am a tech idiot) I have never been able to figure out how to post MP3's on the blog so songs are totally legit to submit, but I have to find them on like YouTube or something to get them on here...really annoying. Ok, bye! E-mail submissions to cfwinspace@gmail.com and I will be taking them all through October and post them sometime in the future of our lives.
