Actually, a lot of my older writing is lost. I didn't back it up, and the hard drive on my old Mac got flash-fried by a power surge (the surge-protector strip didn't do a damn bit of good). There was a short story that I was struggling through in the weeks before the suicide attempt. It's an allegorical horror story that says a lot about how I perceived the city and my relationship to it at that time. Due to its length, I'd have to post it in installments, and with the caveat that I was heading for the suicide attempt with increasing momentum as I put it out. The narrator, my proxy, is not a very nice guy in this piece. I guess from a clinical standpoint, it's an interesting glimpse of just how dark a place I was in at the time. It's called "Hungry Pavement." Let me take another look at it and think on this. :) Atticus
