My short story "Beggar's Banquet" is over at Dmitry's XPEHb journal. The story is one of my lit-fic in sci-fi pieces but is more of an experiment in broken imagery than anything plot-wise. During my junior and senior years of college, I was playing a lot with poetic flow in long prose settings. Ultimately, the stories became too removed from setting and structure to work well ("Journey to the Heavens", a meditation on Eastern philosophy through the American "space monkey" launch is probably a good example of its failure), but the gradual collapse of stream in "Beggar's Banquet" probably helps pull a reader along instead of throwing him/her into a spastic firing of meta-electrons.

Anyway, check it out. Dmitry is running a nice show over there, and there's plenty of substance if you get fed up with me. I mean in no way to demean my fellow XPEHb contributors, but Dmitry's photos make any pain you might experience from our rhetoric worthwhile.
