74,000 Bags of Coleslaw
BY ZEBULON CORK Ronnie DeCracko was enjoying a nice, light brunch when he heard a knock at the door. Frowning, Ronnie got up from his delicious brunch, took one last long whiff of his beautiful bacon, his sweet, sweet cantaloupe, his light, fluffy pancakes and his Venus flytrap smoothie, and walked over to the door.…

Obligatory Donation
BY ZEBULON CORK Deep within the recesses of Yargoth School, an ancient ritual was being performed. Little kids were reciting corny poetry. Slightly bigger kids were singing cringeworthy renditions of classic rock tunes. And even bigger kids were butchering the most basic of band tunes, causing many an ear to bleed. Yes, it was time…

Writing Update – June 16, 2025
Almost halfway through 2025. That…just really hit me as I sat to write this. The year’s almost half over. And…well, progress has been mixed. First, the bad. Procurers 2 has stalled. Like, really stalled. The main difficulty has been getting everything to fit together. Making sure Konrad has a satisfying character arc that’s still consistent…

Hurled Into the Heavens
BY ZEBULON CORK Father John P. Tillings had been a Catholic priest for nearly 40 years, but through all that time he still hadn’t come any closer to a true fellowship with the Lord. It’s not that he hadn’t had his moments of spiritual fulfillment. Far from it. From the time he’d baptized an angry…

The Key to My Sister’s Brain
BY ZEBULON CORK For much of his life, Zebulon Mazozozi considered his sister one of the oddest, strangest and most mysterious people he’d ever known in his life. For one thing, his sister had this strange habit of eating every book she’d ever read. She claimed it helped her “absorb the information more deeply.” Naturally,…

Richie’s Pet Iguana
BY ZEBULON CORK Larry Gobblebrook loved his son Richie. He loved him more than words could express.

However, any time he thanked Jesus for that wonderful son of…

Writing Update – May 10, 2025
April was a busy month for me. It’s a good thing I finished draft 1 of the Kosan rewrite when I did, because boy oh boy, did classes get busy. But, I suppose, that’s just how things are when you’re a grad student. I’m not complaining. This is the life I chose. And it’s not…

Writing Update – March 25, 2025
Oy. Been a while since I posted here again. Let’s change that. So! What’ve I been up to lately? Well, the biggest thing (which you already know if you follow me on Instagram): I finished the Kosan rewrite! Or, well, a draft of it, anyway. But yeah! It’s finally done! And the final word count…

I Re-Read the First Novel I Ever Wrote. I Have Thoughts.
Those of you who’ve followed me for a while know I’ve been doing this writing thing since I was a teenager. That’s pretty damn close to a decade and a half now. You might also know I wrote my first novel as a teenager: I wrote the bulk of it in grade 10, before I…

Writing Update – February 3, 2025
Well, here we are. Writing updates are back. No, I never intended to stop doing these. As I’ve said before, things just kind of piled up for me late last year, and this year I wanted to do a couple other posts before I got back into the writing updates. But anyway. All that aside.…
