YOU ASKED FOR IT

Following (or, I suppose, because everything is reverse chronological on blogs, "on top of this entry") are the complete (unbroken) short stories and (as-yet-unblogged)poems I wrote for Marsilani (at the time of compiling, over a year ago), "IN ORDER." Please recall the caveat that they are "works in progress," and that significant changes are in the making. Many of the stories were intended for participation in Honolulu Magazine's short fiction contest, and were therefore subject to a 3000 word limitation; thus, some of the stories "feel" compressed, and given more liberties, I would like to flesh some of them out more. Others deserve radical changes in plot or even theme as a result of further reflection and experience. But I suppose this gives you a more complete picture of the project...
