Richard S. Crawford's World

Code monkey by day, word monkey by night...

I'm a writer of comedic fiction, frequently involving monsters or zombies, looking to connect with agents, publishers, and, most importantly, readers. I'm also a web developer, a husband, a brother, a son, a liberal, a thinker, an Episcopalian, the publisher and editor-in-chief of Daikaijuzine, and many other things besides. I find horror, science fiction, fantasy, and big band music interesting.

It’s nearly 110 degrees here in Sacramento, which might help explain why my brain is working so slow. My brain works at optimum capacity when it’s about 70 degrees out. But at least the bulk of this story was written while I was in Monterey, where it was a bit cooler.

I’m really not sure what to say about this story. I don’t dabble in science fiction very often, nor do I dabble in Shakespearean fanfic. I know that the end is a cop-out; but there was a time crunch, and, well, these things happen.

Fun fact: with this story, I officially break 100,000 words on Story of the Week.

Enjoy!
