I love the graphic that @rejectionlit used for my story "The Smart Kid." Would look nice as a t-shirt or poster. Thank you again @dt_robbins and @felishonaleash

@pocketsmag @ca5eyj0 My "mirror me" is my worst enemy! Corpse pose is a fitting metaphor for that poignant penultimate paragraph.

@scaffoldlitmag @MaudlinHouse @coleshuforu Wonderfully absurd, yet touching. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "Miniature."

@happymil_ @FracturedLit @TommyDeanWriter Imagistic ode to cherished ghosts!

@BulbRegion @thehagsoup I see the author is a tarot-reader. Can she see the future of The Baby! Fun, "freaky" story.

@HAWKEYE_mag @CBlackman99 We're stuck with Adam and Eve. That show will play in syndication for eternity!

@BulbRegion @catherineweiss "Doink" is a funny word.

@malsmart I think my OCD mind needs those empty spaces from "Backrooms."

I remember reading it as a teenager. The shark's pov in the beginning. Hooper fingering Ellen under the table. I like the shark as metaphor for Brody's subconscious urges, especially if he feels inadequate about not being able to swim.

@coleshuforu @scaffoldlitmag I love the umbilical cord passage. Don't we all want that safe, warm place again.

@Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @ihateclaims @Windix3 @stonemonkts @performativeUtt @AMclenon @MikeRey61920141 Hey movie buffs, I've got a one-sentence, one paragraph story at Bulb Region with a couple of movie references. A short piece of suburban fury.

[Peter DeMarco @PDMwriter]

@MatherSchneider @tanyachen Mather, my new story at Bulb Region features a pest control van/company run by an old high school bully.

[Peter DeMarco @PDMwriter]

@BulbRegion @catherineweiss Stark introspection. And I love the last stanza of Terminator. The nostalgic "shiny" juxtaposed with death, real life and movie life.

[Peter DeMarco @PDMwriter]

@Madmaxguz @BulbRegion Thanks Max, I like my movies!

@MISTERBULLBULL @jdclappwrites Kiss, Hustler, forts. My life in 70s suburbia. Solid raw slice of life piece.

[Peter DeMarco @PDMwriter]

@HAWKEYE_mag A haunting beauty to these passages. And a little humor. For a moment I thought Boo Radley would make an appearance!

@casswriter44 @mikedolanny I've never forgotten that name! I was 13 at that fight. I grew up in Commack. My neighbor had some connections and I met your dad after the fight. I'll never forget how he brushed the top of my head with his hand, such a good-natured gesture.

[Peter DeMarco @PDMwriter]

@BulbRegion @IvyGri That's the story I wanted to have a cup of coffee with Ivy to dissect. I knew it was special. Congratulations!

@litgarage01 Tense existential showdown.
