Christmas Eve, 1887

Christmas Eve, 1887.     
Foreman Joe DeLongchamp lit his pipe and closed the door to the bunkhouse behind him.  He could still hear the other jacks laughing and spinning yarns over a few games of cards.  Some were sewing shirts or socks, some were sharpening saws or axes, all of them grateful for an extra day off tomorrow, Christmas day.   
Off to the west, the sun dipped down behind a gathering bank of black clouds.  Snow, and lots of it, he thought.  He held his pipe to his side and sniffed the air.  Something else, too.  He couldn't quite place it.&#

A Curiously Bad Case of AcneThe zit under Bobby Lopez's left arm, just below his armpit, was named Dr. Harry.  He discovered this when Harry began to talk while Bobby and his friend, Bink, were making their way to George Washington Middle School one spring morning.   
Doc Harry had first appeared as a simple red bump, with a white center, around Christmas.  Bobby had tried to pop it, but, unlike the forest of pustules and blackheads on his back, it was impossible, and only resulted in a sharp, burning sensation.  Gradually, the white center had turned dark brown and expanded to the size of a raisin.  As winter waned, the A Curiously Bad Case of Acne

Blind music- ProseThe lament of a sad pianist trickles through the school corridors. Its gentle melody dances and bounces off the walls, turning the heads of the few who hear it. With each note, there is an echo of sorrow and despite the beauty of the music playing; the heart is filled with angst...  
 
The musical talents of Natalie Pinkton were never debated at Bishopstoke Secondary school, in Kent. Her skills on the piano, flute and sometimes voice were often heard from the music studios. She’d recently picked up learning the saxophone and committed her free time to studying the instruments she played. Her parents couldn’t be more proud Blind music- Prose

Just wanted to say thank you to Mr. Hype for choosing my story "Hell's Kitchen" for a Daily Deviation. I appreciate it very much and am very grateful.

I got one a while ago from someone called Thomas. He was a great guy, too; whatever happened to him, anyways?


Other news? Well, I'm still alive. Haven't written much lately. I'll try to do that. Also, I owe someone a commissioned piece for having won a contest, and I'm going to get to it, really I am.

Had to euthanize my dog. Helluva great dog. Only 7 years old. Name was Max. Cancer. Did you know there is a cancer epidemic among American canines? The food? Who knows. All I know is they're dropping like flies, and no one seems concerned... I like most dogs better than most people.

Signed up to go door-to-door to get out the vote in October/November for the Obama people.

Ok, thanks again to everyone who commented, and thanks to GenerationHype for giving me the DD.

Time to go fuck with the Bush campaign by leaving obscene messages on their answering machines.

This is Johnny, signing out for a while.

XXOO

I appreciate that; a comparison with Chuck is high praise, indeed. Fortunately, I haven't noticed him copying any of my ideas yet.

Hey thanks, your writing is very to the point, almost being blunt- and that's refreshing. Kind of reminds me of Chuck Palahniuk's writing.

i've just sat here for who knows how long reading you work.

its 4:30am here and it was an impossibility to leave without adding you to my watch-list!

your work puts my concept of writing in its place. i'll have to cross my fingers and hope that i'm able to pick up some small lesson's from your example.

anyway, i better knock-out for now.

order the smexilious combination of black/white witticisms in batches of a thousand words complementing the plethora of shining images breathed into the blown-glass of poetry that is | mimesis | here.

Some really powerful piece of writing here. Loved loking through your works. Was nearly in tears because of some, but thoroughly enjoyed reading quality, moving pieces

You start a journey by putting one foot in front of the other... you become a writer when you put one idea with another, grab a piece of paper and write.

Hey, relax. I threw some shit out without any preamble or preface, and deserved the scrutiny my statements got. You were right to call me on it.

actually I believe I still owe you an apology of some sort. I think I wrongly misconstructed you as belonging to that kind of atheists who throw aphorisms around like there's no tomorrow.

would like to start it all over very much.

In your opinion. And that's not contextual. Be happy to start this all over if you like?

"god and law are dogmatic" is nonsensical with and without explication. =P
