• Change Lady I remember the genisis for this story, a trip to Las Vegas. If I recall right, I wrote the outline on my first Palm Pilot one evening in the hotel, then fleshed it out on the plane home. It was mostly a fun story to write, if just to toss in different details.

• Cleaning Day at the Mad Scientists Layer This one is just a bit of a bizzare trip down my thought processes. I imagine I wrote this after an exam after four days of intensive studying. At least, I hope that's the case.

• The Monster in the Closet I wrote this back in 1997, long before I ever thought I'd have children. It's mildly interesting to note that, as I sit and write this, I have a little girl just a bit younger than the one here. She sees monsters, too.
  

• On The Couch I don't remember where the idea for this came from. I have always liked this story just because I think this is not too far off what might actually happen.

• Questions and Answers This was an absurd story I wrote in 1996, which has the unique distinction of being what I believe is only the second story that I ever wrote that I allowed others to see. Back when I wrote it I noted it was influenced by Kafka. Clearly when I wrote it I was even more arrogant that I am now...
