The driver stared off into space. As we approached the intersection, he punched the gas, blowing through a red light and nearly colliding with a delivery truck.

"What the hell are you doing, trying to kill us?" I screamed. He glanced over his shoulder, the glimmer from the street lights highlighting the deep scars on his face.

"Those are some nasty cuts. I don't have a band-aid, but I've got some Viagra here somewhere. Perhaps you could throw some on and see what happens."

The memory shot through me like a fever.

"Want to hear something really messed up, Byron?" said a man in a light blue Oxford shirt. "Do you know what it was before they made it into an asylum?"

"A farm, wasn't it?" the detective poured a pack of Sweet & Low into his coffee.

"A slaughterhouse," he replied. "And then they starting tacking on the wings--I heard even worse things happened there."

Did I Really Say That on Facebook? (Vol. VI)

August 7 at 8:00 AM

If you dumped my brains in a blender and pushed frappe, it would sound something like this:

• How ironic that a health bill can be bad for a country's economic health.
• But if we deprived the village of it's idiot, there wouldn't be anyone left!
• Hopefully you’re not dancing around in your underwear because you think you’re Tom Cruise.
• Lesbians for Bush. Bush for Lesbians. Any questions?
• Welcome to the idiot's club. Now accepting applications!

It's Favre Time, Again!

August 3 at 12:30 PM

According to ESPN, Brett Favre is retiring. Again. No, really. Not kidding. I know, I know. Personally I find it hard to believe too. After the incredible season he had last year I figured we'd see him in a Vikings uniform one last time.

Alas, it is not to be.

And then there's the matter of that $13 million salary he'd be making this season. I realize that he's already rich, but that's a lot of money to leave on the table, approaching Haynesworth-type numbers. Certainly he could use a few more bucks to fix his tractor.

I traced my Smith & Wesson over the entire room. "Who's there?" I repeated. The apartment was dim and quiet, just the way I liked it. Even the corpse at my dinner table didn't have anything to say. All this trouble for a damn book? What next? Perhaps my bare-assed guest would start singing and dancing.

The telephone rang. Although it aroused my curiosity, I was inclined to let it keep ringing.

"Answer it," the voice came again.

I spun around, nearly pulling the trigger. "Come out so I can put a bullet in you."

"Just answer the phone," she said.

I looked around and picked up the phone. "Hello?" Heavy breathing greeted me. A moment later the line went dead. I slammed down the phone. "A lot of good that did."

"Come down and play," a voice echoed from the metal grate. I inched forward, pausing over the vent. Below a young woman with black hair and pale skin sat in a chair. "Down here, with me." She clawed the wooden armrest with her fingernails. Her lips did not move, nor any discernable part of her face. She just stared into the shadows, waiting for some unsuspecting fool to fall into her web.

"Just passing through." I nodded.

Her head jerked up. She brushed aside her tangled locks, revealing two crimson eyes. As she held me in her demonic gaze, the vent below me collapsed and I fell into the void.

Who is that sizzling hot babe? None other than Alina Puscau. I could definitely see her as a dark elf in my novels.

Check out her debut music video "When You Leave."
