Some friends and I were exploring a mine and we found a vending machine/slot machine. It was old, dusty, and broken. I was messing with it when two or three gold coins rolled out. So I reached my hand up under it and started pulling out gold coins, nuggets, and some diamonds. There was enough […]

I was playing pool at Rhetick’s. There were two kinds of cues, those with built in compasses and those without. I had the cool kind but some girl demanded to use the compass kind. I gave it to her and then left in a huff.

I was packing in preparation for my senior year at Haverford. On my way out of the WV house as an impulse I grabbed Mr. Blank the cat. I got on a bus to school with a few fellow students. Oddly, Mr. Blank’s fur had tuned sort of blonde/gray from age. Once there Jack wondered […]

I was an anarchist with a small group of like minded friends. We were waiting for a city bus. As we were waiting we would stick these nicely made wood strips with a slot running alone its length under the bus. Then we would stick razor blades in the strip of wood to puncture the […]

I was back at Haverford for the first day of my senior year. I was walking around basking in relief at the fact that instead of being out of school my seattle experience had all been a summer vacation. I was looking for my dorm room and when I found it I was psyched! Big […]

I was swimming in the ocean when I lost a contact. So I was searching and splashing through the water when I found it floating like a tiny jellyfish. Yay.

I was crewing on Sweet Harmony when the owner’s son wrecked a jetski and got tangle in the prop. The owner and I jumped in to untangle him. We started to drift onto the rocks but couldn’t do anything because he was caught on the prop. We freed him and the boat was saved but […]
