Do you like cheerleaders? Do you like aliens? Do you like urban legends? Well, then you're just gonna love my latest published short story, "Dying With Her Cheer Pants On," in which the Fighting Pumpkins Cheer Squad goes up against an alien invasion in a battle to the death, with the very fate of mankind hanging in the balance.
Some of you may have heard me perform this story live, since it's a favorite reading piece of mine (and how could it not be? I mean, really). For those of you who haven't, there's an audio version of the same story in this month's issue. Totally awesome.
... Can I say I don't even like to *think* that lady's name in front of a mirror because I'm afraid she'll gut me like a fish, annnd now I just read that and I am so creeped out. LOL, not even by the alien's aspect which gave me that twitchy 'world is coming to an end' feel but it was like okay, whatevs, let's see how they beat this. And then they pulled out the big guns and I started to get a creepy feeling, especially with the count down of cheerleaders while she was counting down. Oh man. Definitely more afraid of ghosts then aliens [when i'm sitting safe in my room, LOL] great short though.
