Alexandra, the lady clown, stared at herself in the mirror.  With a puffy gloved hand, she wiped the thick white make-up off of her face with one of those make-up sponge things, revealing a series of horrible knife scars underneath.  She pulled the curly orange wig off of her head and tossed it on the [...]

“The writer’s block finally gone, David sat down to write the novel that would eventually become his masterpiece.  The end.”

A Ripper date ended at 10:30 sharp with a thank you [...]
