  2. It’s 5pm. Quitting time. Noah shuts down his workstation, gathers his things, picks up Oscar and places him on the shelf. He walks by Linus’ desk and they walk to the elevator together.

    Linus asks, “You going to see your girl tonight?”

    “Yup.”

    “What’s her name?”
    “Anna.”

  3. I have been sitting on this story for 10 years. I just need to put it out into the world; maybe doing that will compel me to finish it.

    A liminal space is any place or moment where something feels in between. A hallway at night, an empty parking lot, a stairwell that feels too still, or a moment when a shift can’t be explained.

  11. CW: Ellis's Introductory Post (CW: Eye contact; 1/2)

    Hi! I'm Ellis: a clinician, a speculative author, a philosopher, a scientist-practitioner, and a mythopoeist. By day, I serve as a mental health professional and work with high-acuity, underprivileged folks in Pittsburgh. By night, I weave legends from the transgressive reality of our cruel, uncaring world.

    I publish under Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf, but I do business as, J. Ellis Burgos. Right now I'm working on developing my career both as clinician and as both fiction and nonfiction author.

    I'm thrilled to join all of you here at hcommons.social, and I'm excited about building culture with all of you.

    My bibliography is accessible from my website: ellisarcwolf.com

  12. Creative Writing: Of Golden Light and Dappled Grays

    I went for a walk today under golden light and dappled grays. Everyone said it would be a beautiful day, and I could feel that. The sky was cloudless, and the grove of trees around the neighborhood diffused the sunlight. It is the one thing I loved the most about the neighborhood I lived in. Always calm and muted. Even with the tranquility, we had lots of visitors. Visitors who always seemed sad, like they were missing someone. The neighborhood was odd. These visitors would show up at the […]

  13. A Post Apocalyptic Siren’s Song

    A soft humming rode the wind—strange, yet familiar. The tune teased his memory, as if it had followed him since childhood. He had never seen a person—or any creature—linked to the sound. For years, he dismissed it as a sound from the old power lines, long abandoned in this changed world. But today, the humming was different. There was a proper voice associated with it, if only he could find where that voice was coming from. He moved like a shadow through ruins he’d never dared to […]

    Beastly Winter -- a serial speculative fiction story.

    A branch snapped, as if his daddy had stepped on it, but his father wasn’t there. Sonny had an idea what had caused that pop.

    The puppy must be bigger than he’d thought.

  16. Wonderment Within Weirdness Is Weirdly an Anti-War Novel

    Sometimes you write a book and only later realize what it was actually about. That might sound strange, but it happens more often than people think. Stories have a way of revealing their deeper meanings after the fact, sometimes months or even years after they are written. When I first wrote my debut novel, Wonderment Within Weirdness, I was not sitting there thinking, “I am going to write an anti-war novel.” That was not the plan. The goal was much simpler and honestly much more chaotic. […]
