Waiting for Worlds to Collide

(A cat on Christopher Street sidewalk, Photo by Joe) The sickness has come again… I’m in an apartment that my boss owns in Queens. On top of my head is a pool of sweat. I dip my fingers into it and paw at my damp face. My eyes shift suspiciously to the 36″ TV, then to the various objects in the adjoining rooms. The table in [...]

A Trickle of Blood

(Vampire teeth, uncredited – Photoshopped by Joe) Forget that last post. I am not a vampire. I have never been a vampire. A trickle of demon blood on my lips made me sick. It was from the demon runt I killed at the house on the river’s edge. Benny, “the cigar store Indian” told me [...]

I Am The Night

(Tonic East sports bar, Manhattan(original below), Photos/Photo art by Joe) That night, the darkness was disguised as light, and my kiss—was the kiss of death. While the blonde wanted my kisses, as much as I wanted to give them. She was caught in the “fantastic lie” of the light that shined brightest inside me… It was a Friday night and my [...]

Transformation

(“The Hall” – Photos by Joe) The earliest signs of the change began in an apartment building in Bushwick. I was there with three co-workers, Nester, Edwin, and Kevin–to clean out the basement. Along with piles of junk strewn across the floor, we had to discard the ruined plywood flooring that was laid over two-by-fours and dirt. The [...]

The Last Embrace

(Living room) Last time I had gone inside “the house on the river’s edge“, if I noticed anything out of the ordinary, I couldn’t say. But this time, it was like I walked off into a dream, one that would change me forever, and one that I will never, ever talk about again. . . The exterior door closed soundlessly. Seconds [...]

How We Must Have Looked

(Photos by Joe) How we must have looked as we traipsed uptown, the four of us and an invisible boy from a dream . . . We stepped out from the shadow of the row homes on East 6th Street and into the late afternoon sun on 2nd Ave. The boy, whose name was James, became diaphanous in the brighter [...]

A Few Winter Photos – Richmond Town

(Photos by Bald Punk) We got hit by about a foot of snow in NYC over the weekend. Here are some photos I took from Historic Richmond Town in Staten Island. I probably could have spent an hour there taking pics, but was in a rush. I definitely will go back and post more from [...]

DATE WITH THE DEVIL

(Satan by Gustave Dore) I monumentally screwed up with the exorcism, and everyone hates me. If you want, you can hate me too. I have no idea how, but I’m going to change my life for good. Unfortunately, you come here so I can tell you how I’m kicking-itbig time in NYC, but I can’t [...]

BACK FROM MY FIRST EXORCISM

 (Painting by Francisco Goya of Saint Francis Borgia performing an exorcism.) Hi, This is Bald Punk. I’m back from my first exorcism. I’m numb all over and really can’t talk about it. You remember how when Moses went up the mountain to get the ten commandments, he came down with white hair and that Light [...]

Our Apartment is Ghost Friendly

  (Casper – The Friendly Ghost) Okay, I can’t take back what I posted the other night. I won’t, and you know I’m pretty honest with you. Eh, mofo– So here’s the deal. We still got the ghost roaming our apartment—to be fair, I think he goes all over the building. You should hear this [...]
