After briefly talking with Casey about writing, I finally admitted to myself that if I ever get a book of short stories published, it would fall right into the avant-garde category. But not because I'm trying to push the envelope or define a new genre or anything like that. I just like to play around and experiment for my own amusement. Take for example this short short (Warning: Full of Dark Sarcastic Humor). You probably haven’t read many other pieces that would occupy the same shelf space as this one. In fact, I there are only a couple of places I could see this going. It could end up being adapted for use in a late night sketch comedy show, which I don’t know if I would like, or it could be hidden away between other odd pieces in a collection of other short and short short stories I've written. It’s just something silly and darkly fun that I created without thinking about it where it belongs. I’m really not big into labels, so why would I care how my stuff is categorized? Because it immediately eliminates a huge portion of potential readers due to the sheer nature of its unconformity. Then again, I’m not in this game for the money and there’s no fan more loyal than a cult fan. Dam the torpedoes and full steam ahead.
