Alex Daltas: October 2008
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2008. It was at the peak of their enjoyment when the fly landed on the TV screen. It landed right on John Cleese’s face. It must have been half of James’ existence ago since he’d seen Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. The fly flew away and James forgot about it for a few moments until it returned again – crawling around on Eric Idle’s nose before buzzing off once more. Flies never bothered James. Shana couldn’t stand them. If she were awake right now. 8220;What’s that? James rolle...

Alex Daltas: July 2010
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. The TV Butler and the Prostitute. There’s nowhere to go but down when everyone around you is supporting you. That’s all Jimmy could think as he held the gun to the hooker’s head. Jimmy had gone insane, at least that’s how the entire outside world would classify him. He didn’t really want her to go down on him, he just wanted to see if she’d do it. Because she might recognize him as a celebrity. Because of the gun. To – that would really be something. Was she really this stupid?

Alex Daltas: March 2008
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Hold Your Head Up. That's what my father always told me. "Hold your head up, boy. You'd make the masters happy." Lots of my father's generation felt that way. Most of mine didn't. It was the curse of Adam and Eve, if you asked me. They ate the apple of knowledge. They had to. It was there, after all. We were left alone; perfect children in an imperfect world. That is until my generation came along. We have been challenging the status quo. Our parents have tried to tell ...I don...

Alex Daltas: October 2009
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Dan’s appendix had burst. It happened as Dan chomped down on his very first bite of dinner. He would’ve been upset about the ill-timing had the pain not been so intense it drowned out all his other thoughts and cares. It drowned out the sound of his wife’s voice too, as she continued to talk to him about her day at work from the other side of the table, still completely oblivious of what was going on inside his body. One minute she was taking him for granted at the dinner table.

Alex Daltas: April 2008
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. The Early Bird Catches the Big Mac. It was 3:45 am and Joe couldn't sleep. The sun hadn't even considered waking up yet, and it would be at least an hour before the first bird would utter its shrill chirp. For now the world was a dark, soundless, and private place for any creature that happened to be awake to notice. Joe soon found himself behind the wheel of his car. He felt that old, tingly feeling he used to get as a kid. He felt like the world was all his. Joe didn't think....

Alex Daltas: May 2008
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2008. The light gave way to darkness and that’s the way it would be for a while. It was unnaturally dark. The crew was already scared. They had no idea where they were however that wasn’t the scariest thing. They had used up all their fuel in one gargantuan error and now they were left stranded, drifting in an inky blackness that had to be space but one without the usual stars that had traditionally guided explorers like them since the beginning of exploration, itself. 8220;Our time-acce...

Alex Daltas: February 2008
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. He fell on his head. It was a simple start down a non-expert ski run. The day was beautiful, the sky blue. The snow matched a brilliant white. "Ahhhh," he expunged, his mouth steaming. The man-made mist dissolved away and the man planted his ski pole - his opposite leg pushing off, down the mountain. He was further embarrassed by the fall. He tried again, even smaller. There was no one around. It was a big mountain and the day was new. So he just lay there. My prevailing thou...

Alex Daltas: Wine Country
http://alexdaltas.blogspot.com/2009/02/wine-country.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. Better than a camping trip in the woods, going to wine country was the perfect excuse to get drunk in a natural enough setting without feeling like a total alcoholic. The truth was Jim was an alcoholic. It was nothing to feel bad about. The doctor had assured him of that. Being a 35 year old adult was ‘one day’ to Jim. If there was a thing all those years in the cubicle had trained Jim in, it was patience. Just being in Mrs. Claus’ plaid vagina (ha...The doctor’s eyes lit...
