He started drinking at 6 in the morning, was sober by 2 in the afternoon, but for the life of him he couldn’t say who that was showering in the bathroom, whose or what gray cat had just started up the hall, why the room’s width had grown in size, and what was that shape in the smoke curls above the ash tray, a mouse tail, a hook of hair, a suggestion of surf, or a letter of some language he was as yet unaware but would soon learn?

100 Days :: Summer 2010
This will be my third year participating in the fun, exciting, and challenging 100 Days projects: year 1 I wrote one hundred poems; year two I wrote one hundred stories; this year I want to move to a new category: fictions. These fictions will be built from the short films generated by John Timmons or other work generated from his.
What do I mean by fictions? Mine is a loose definition. By fictions I mean imagined writing that can range across narrative prose forms and may involve philosophical, analogical, historical, character-driven, or anecdotal subject matter. A fiction may be an imagined artifact, carrying the architecture of story as a means. Or it may simply be a conclusion or argument advanced by an imagined character or structured in an imagined world. It may be a way of searching for form from an origin without having to worry about what that origin may be. -
