Meeting the Reaper

Hank Haywood has died. That’s a weird sentence to think. I mean, I always say ‘kill me now,’ ‘I wish I were dead,’ ‘oh death, please take me away to your humble abode,’ or some crap like that. Now that I am… now that the end has really come, old jokes seem… well, they still […]

God Said F**k You

God Said F**k You has language and topics not suitable for everyone. If questioning the power or morality of a deity is offensive to you, probably better that you don’t read this story.
