But then I dug it out again recently and thought well, it isn't that bad. So my cliche is your gain.]]> http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/transmission.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/transmission.html Thu, 01 Jan 2004 19:17:32 -0800 I've been feeling like returning to my roots recently and writing horror-ish stuff, but now in a much more subtle way. This won't take you more than 30 seconds to read. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/amanita.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/amanita.html Tue, 01 Jan 2002 19:11:50 -0800 Been taking a lot of fiction workshops recently. This was an exercise from one of those. Yes, I write a lot about driving. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/rain.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/rain.html Fri, 01 Jun 2001 19:10:04 -0800 I used to get incredibly amped up on espresso, go out driving, listen to really loud fast angry music, and then come home and write this. Its sort of an angry violent science fiction alt-future cyberpunk thingie. It is very raw, and it ends badly, but who knows, maybe there's something here to like if you like this sort of thing. Warning: lots of very bad language in this. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/rushhour.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/rushhour.html Mon, 01 Jan 2001 19:05:27 -0800 A short short. Wrote this in 5 minutes. Sometimes things just work. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/flame.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/flame.html Thu, 01 Jun 2000 19:03:48 -0800 #2 in the Silicon Valley social commentary series (see the next story for #1). Less technical. More pointed. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/allnighter.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/allnighter.html Sat, 01 Jan 2000 18:48:38 -0800 A technical tale of bad behavior in Silicon Valley. From reader comments this appears to be so far the best thing I've written. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/exitstrategy.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/exitstrategy.html Fri, 01 Jan 1999 18:39:23 -0800 Dark highways and the strange things you find on them. Gory. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/roadkill.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/roadkill.html Tue, 01 Sep 1992 18:36:26 -0800 OK, so I read too much Lovecraft as a teenager. One of my "gothic nightclub" stories. Very gory. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/the_tattoo.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/the_tattoo.html Mon, 01 Jun 1992 18:33:33 -0800 Another violent gothic nightclub story. Drugs. Violence. Bad language. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/eyes.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/eyes.html Wed, 01 Jan 1992 18:30:20 -0800 A fragment from a short story I never finished. It appeared on the back of a T-shirt for the Usenet newsgroup alt.gothic. I once actually thought of an ending for this story, so maybe I'll finish it someday. No violence, just kind of spooky. http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/julian.html http://www.lauralemay.com/fiction/julian.html Tue, 01 Jan 1991 13:45:31 -0800
