Time for part two of my amazing hack Twilight Zone episode. Have you guessed where it’s going yet?
Of course you have, but that shouldn’t spoil the fun!

A Very Good Man: Part 1 (of 2)
I wanted to knock this all out in a single post, but it just got longer and longer, to the point that it was almost double the length of what I shoot for every week (roughly 2000-ish words).
So, enjoy part one of this two part hack Twilight Zone episode where you’ve probably guessed where it’s going before the second ad break!
Seriously, I really enjoyed writing this, despite it being pretty hacky. Hacky can be fun. Wait, I wrote about time travel two weeks in a row? SPOILERS!!!
Short Story: The Wayback Machine
I missed my deadline last week! That means I have to put out two projects this week, lest I fall behind. It’s written right there in the rules. In The Motern Method that is.
This is actually an older story that I just came back and revised. It feels a bit like cheating, but it’s only slightly less work than banging out something that’s only existed in my head for 10+ years.
The Waif and the Waterfall
Back to “creative writing”, and not moaning about someone else’s work. We return to a pair of characters I wrote about previously.
“Who???” you ask? Wait and see!
Or you can find their earlier story HERE.
Short Story: Long Live the King (of the Road)
Did something really silly this week, a perfect embodiment of The Motern Method, p. 55 “Wouldn’t it be funny if…?”
Enjoy! Or don’t… I can’t make you love me.
In the Moo of Madness
This is one I started writing maybe two years back, based on some antics I got up to with a pal in an online game. Finally got around to finishing it this week. More to come on its origins at the end. Enjoy!
Short Story: Pacification
I cheated a little this week. This is something I wrote many years ago, but took the opportunity to revise and re-work.
Is that an excuse if it’s not good? “Why, I wrote this a while ago, before I became the brilliant artist I am now!”
No. It’s corny, cliche, and overly sincere, but I enjoyed revisiting (and correcting) my past self. As they say, there’s no accounting for taste.
Thank you for checking it out…
Short Story: Unconditional
Unlike the last story, which I wrote a few weeks ago and revised the day I posted it, I just wrote this one today, so it might be a little rough.
The good news is, this one is nice and sappy, unlike the last one, which was a bit mean spirited in places. Just like last time, I’ll have a bit at the end explaining where this came from.
Here we go again…
Short Story: The Summer of My Humiliation
I decided to post something original for once, instead of complaining about movies. So here goes. It’s not much of anything. I don’t even know what it’s about. I’ll save the inspiration and background until the end.
On with the show…
EDIT: There’s a gimmick near the latter half where I use images to represent a text message conversation. It’s not ideal on small screen mobile devices. For the best reading experience, I recommend desktop or tablet.
