Short Story: 'A Legacy Revealed'
Dec 19, 2008 Writing
I wrote the following short story for UofT’s Crumpled Paper, a creative arts and writing magazine. The theme for issue X was “hybrid”. I was a little stumped at first as to what I should write about (what genre should it be? what should the short story revolve around?); didn’t help matters that I was incredibly busy at the time of the submission period. Ultimately this story came out of the confusion; I honestly can’t remember how I found the inspiration came for this story. All I remember is that the story hit me at 11pm at night and I just started writing. This story was a bit longer in the first draft but because the editors were asking me to keep it to a 2-page limit, I ended up cutting a bit of good dialogue down. Maybe I’ll post it up someday, we’ll see

Short Story: 'The “Topsy-Turvy” Effect'
Dec 19, 2008 Writing
I wrote the following short story for UofT’s Crumpled Paper, a creative arts and writing magazine. The theme for issue IX was “tospy-turvy” (and hence why the title of this theme is present at the title of my story). I’ve been playing with certain elements that appeared in this story for a while now, was unsure how I would use it (though I did come to the conclusion that it would be playing out in a sci-fi premise). Then this theme came out for the magazine and I thought that maybe I can try and fit in these elements in a short story. I didn’t think that it would be printed, to be honest, but here we are.
