		<description><![CDATA[Rockstar Betty was a weasel--a hardcore weasel-- and she was not about to take any shit from any punk-ass bitches who got between her and stardom.  It was tough out there in a man's world; a weasel had to work damned hard to make it to the top.  Voice lessons.  English lessons.  The endless hours of starving herself and getting her makeup done.  One particular evening when she found herself yet again spending another lonely night practicing her various poses (such as "Sexy Weasel" and "Tough Weasel" and "Thank-you-for-the-Grammy-dahling-Weasel"), her annoying younger brother poked his nose into her burrow...

		<description><![CDATA[Eunice the pigeon did not live a glamorous life, but unlike most of her peers, she was determined to rise above her dreary roost in the parking garage’s concrete rafters. She didn’t mind the exhaust-filled space, or even the laughable “pigeon barriers” around her nest. “What I crave,” she lamented to anyone who’d listen, which in this case was her sister Barbara, “is to create a legacy, a memoir of avian city life and one pigeon’s brave quest to rise above the grit and grime and bring beauty and song to the world.”

Unimpressed, Barbara continued pecking at the cement traffic barrier. “So you want to be a storyteller,” she yawned. “Big deal. Pigeons have a billion of ‘em. I mean, Mom and Dad never shut up about the huge cicada they caught in ’06. Everyone’s a storyteller.”

		<description><![CDATA[ometimes I just have to amuse myself by writing a dreadful story. The urge arises spontaneously, clawing to be released to torment others.  This is why an early story of mine called "Lars the Pig with No Skin" is infamous among certain circles.  The Chitin Kitten emerged from the depths of my mind because Dave, who likes to rhyme words unnecessarily, put the words together.  Except "chitin" doesn't actually rhyme with "kitten."  But what do I care?

One said “THE EASTER BUNNY” and the next said “DON’T RISE FROM THE DEAD.” Fascinated, I slowed and kept reading.

		<description><![CDATA["So," she asked, "this magical 'Mother Nature' decides to kill all the plants and make everything cold. She spends all this time creating beautiful trees, flowers, and grasses for us to eat, and then out of pure spite, kills it all and lets us starve. And then for no apparent reason, she decides to make everything grow just so that she can kill it all again."   (Read the whole story at www.splarks.com)
