i just posted foot skin.  i wrote it about a month and a half ago in the middle of a two day storm.  constant raining.  maybe more than two days.  it is only mildly grotesque, despite what images the title might suggest.  of late i have been getting less interested in writing about things grotesque.  this is not to be confused with morbidity, which i still constantly think about and write about.  maybe this will pass too.  though i hope not.  i hope that grotesque aspects of my writing would pass, or at least take a drastic turn, for two reasons: one, it was getting a little old to write about, even if it was what came most naturally.  and two, i got sick of people reading stories and reducing them to “blood and guts” stories and nothing more.  nothing i post on my site has a message that can be gleaned by merely reading it on the surface.  calling it blood and guts is a cheap description that can easily be pulled by just skimming it.  come on people.  they aren’t that fricking long.

    hmm..that’s an interesting perspective.

    i like it, except if you want to be grotesque, you could go all out and describe the bloodiness of your skinless feet.

    your stories are wonderful, and the people who only see pointless carnage are fools. smelly fools.

    I read parts of it for an American History course last year.  Hehe, I was just surprised to see it popping up again ^_^

    To be honest, I think your writing is very creative. I am sure many would not think of such idea, so please ignore my comment regarding adding more carnage (I was probably half asleep when i first read it). Symbolic carnage is much more beautiful.

    hmm I like it, I don’t think it is all that morbid. Just a different way to look at things
