two animals half dead

May 15, 2021 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Neither the quail nor cat ran fast enough. I hit both of them, taking them both for dead, until I glanced in my rear view mirror. The quail was frantically flapping it’s wings, going nowhere. The tires must’ve pinned it’s tail and toes to the asphalt. I made myself not feel bad by focusing on the fresh road meal I just gifted a hawk or coyote. It was a little harder to squash the bad feelings with the cat. The […]

peperomia

November 9, 2018 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

I spent the morning writing vows and drawing frogs and lily pads. I spent the afternoon plant shopping. I found a plant the same age as our friendship, with lily pad-esque leaves. I delivered the drawing, vows, and plant unannounced. The unannounced part was not well received. I immediately left. I never got a chance to tell him the many symbolic meanings frogs have been assigned throughout ancient history. I never got a chance to tell him the plant is […]

3D Thursday: Dudich, Dance, and the Dentist

June 11, 2015 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

He texted if it was a good time to call. It was so I walked to the car for privacy and called. I don’t know how many years it’s been since I’ve heard his voice. It sounded the same. I used to hear his e-mail voice regularly and that eventually turned into his text voice. They’re all the same. We talked about life. We never talk about that kind of stuff. Our text exchanges only ever involve the moon, dreams, […]

sex, drugs, & rock n’ roll

July 15, 2014 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS KIDS — ER, HORNY ADULTS A few days ago after agreeing that there was no love connection and that we had different motives, he shared that he wanted to stay in contact (which they almost all have…I have more penpals than I have fingers and toes). “And then I see this Google guy get whacked with dope by someone with zero remorse, and oy. Just be careful out there, not everyone has pure motives.” I […]

etat libre d’orange RIEN

December 24, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

She shuffled her collection of holiday cards on the counter in front of me, selected one, and gave it to me, with a nudge. There was a chubby penguin on the front wrapped head to toe in a scarf. I only knew it was a penguin because there was webbed feet at the bottom plus a beak peeking out through one of the scarf folds. I nodded in approval and returned the card. She put it back in my hands […]

mr. betty? the rooster

September 24, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

We were sitting in silence, fully absorbed in the compliments that had just been exchanged, lightly tracing each other’s waists, when she came down the stairs. “K just told me that he had a journal entry from the night….from the night Mr. Betty was killed.” Her eyes became more reflective and her lower lip quivered. “I’ll never forget that night. Never.” The following seven minutes were spent listening to her recount the barbaric tale of loosing her friend first, and […]
