Halloween Horror
Gather around, my friends, and I will share with you my tale of Halloween Horror. It all begins innocently enough in a small town in southern Maine, with my family. On the surface we look normal enough. We go about our lives not bothering anyone, wave at the neighbors, and do what any other family […]

Zombie Puppy vs Vampire Puppy
For months now I have been convinced that my little brother is a Zombie Puppy. But after watching a documentary on Vampires, I’m beginning to have second thoughts.

The Student Becomes The Master
I’m about to say something I’ve never said before, nor will I ever say again. Asa is right. He is a Dire Wolf! I’m not sure how the little fuzzball did it, but his prediction that he’d grow up to be a Dire Wolf came true. It is the only logical explanation of recent events. […]

Neighborhood UFO Sighting
Wow, Asa is having a really bad week. On Monday he thought he was hallucinating because of the changing colors of the autumn leaves. Then on Wednesday I mistakenly thought he was radioactive.
