Tales from the Café: Tabula Rasa

Time: Monday, 1:48 pm I was scheduled to come in at 2, but I figured jumping in a bit early was never going to be a problem. The rush was slowing down, and I could tell it had been a doozy, just from how much still needed to be done and cleared. James, our general manager … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Tabula Rasa

There's a lot of great characters--both for good and for ill--and I've often been told that I should write about them. Obviously, for legal reasons, names of people/places/food items will be changed to not point a … Continue reading Serial Story Intro: Tales from the Café

Update on the State of the Rion

As you all may have noticed, I've really pretty much gone completely dark. I've been trying to keep up with something--anything--and it just hasn't worked out. So here's what's happened since the beginning of the year: Moved into my own apartment. This has been awesome in some days and decidedly not cool in others. I've … Continue reading Update on the State of the Rion

Check out the newest chapter here--but if you're too anxious, check out the snippet under the cut... “Celita?” a small … Continue reading Chapter 10 is Live!
