I Am Not an Assassin

I saw the woman who put it there as I was approaching the house. I thought she was a salesperson, so I asked what she wanted. She said only “I just want to give you this flyer.” Then she rushed pass me and down the block. I assume she was going door to door with … Continued

Meld with You

I found this on Brighton Avenue outside of Boston.

What Many Men Crave

I worked at this camera shop back in ’03-’04. Once in a while there were some people who would come in from Western State Psychiatric Hospital.

El Chupacabras

5 Axes

A friend found this in a classroom, presumably after a lecture on abnormal psychology (these are the five axes for the clinical diagnosis of psychological disorders) at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
