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.
You have resurrected all my buried Bloody Mary trauma. I was an intensely impressionable child when two of my more mean-spirited friends told me about Bloody Mary. I spent the rest of our time living in the house where it occurred unable to go to the bathroom at night- or even go near the bathroom at night. I had to move to the bedroom farthest away from the bathroom on that floor.
But other than that, it was an amazing story. I loved it to tiny little pumpkin-flavoured pieces.
I'll live. I'm no longer five years old and therefore better at dealing with my overactive imagination. Like I said, I loved it, and I also shoved it in the faces of at least half of my friends!
