(COMPLETED SHORT STORY COLLECTION) 
Bud E. Ice is a functioning alcoholic and part-time lowlife located right outside the ratchet grounds of Southwest Philadelphia. His work typically involves a comedic take on social etiquette, race, class, sex, morality (or lack thereof), battles within the self, family issues, death, vulnerability, and whatever other realities seem relevant at the time of the writing. It's HIS reality, but a reality, nonetheless. So, the reader can either RELATE to it or LEARN something from it. After all, isn't that what this is all about? There are far worse ways to waste time.

Sex, Drugs & No Idea by joecoates
37 parts Complete Mature
Unexpected threesomes. Fighting midgets. Wrecking bathrooms. It isn't our grief that sets us apart, it is the manner in which we deal with it. Charlie Green is a mess. After surviving an accident that claimed the life of his partner and being sacked from his job, he's taken to throwing himself down the neck of every bottle of booze and into the arms of every amorous stranger that wanders across his zig-zagging path. In an increasingly desperate attempt to smother his grief, Charlie and five of his closest friends decide to ditch the materialistic bright lights of California and embark on an eight-thousand mile trip across the sea to Southeast Asia. There, caught like butterflies in a whirlwind of drug-fuelled hedonism and vice, this fellowship of idiots endeavours to figure out whether happiness is something that can ever be truly attained, or whether it's something that we spend our lives perpetually chasing. "Now, I'm not one to advocate doing drugs and then going off for a drive in the country or attempting to operate heavy machinery, but if one finds oneself in the position of having had a good snoot-full of Peruvian flake before being obliged to chuck on the fins and tank and hop into the ocean, then I'd be very much inclined to just not think too much about it and roll with the situation." Through the blur of drugs, alcohol and one-night stands, Charlie has to decide whether he's running away from the truth, seeking closure or simply heading along the slow road that leads to self-destruction.

Suburban Nights

8 parts Complete Mature

What secrets lie in the realm of the human mind? Maybe our terrible acts are due to supernatural interferences or maybe it's a sickness inside us. There's one thing for sure, though- The worst things happen in the most unexpected places... ---------------- Suburban Nights is a collection of short horror stories based on my personal experiences, thoughts, and dreams. Growing up in sleepy suburban towns have perks, but there's always something terrible bubbling beneath the surface. Story Description: 1. The Husband - Your husband has been acting a little strange lately at night. 2. The Neighbor - Your quiet home life suddenly gets really uncomfortable when you realize your elderly neighbor has been watching you through his window. 3. Public Restroom - You look back at your childhood to figure out where your fear of public restrooms came from. 4. The Screaming Woman (Pt. 1 & 2) - You wake up abruptly to sounds of a woman screaming only to be faced with your worst nightmare. 5. The People Upstairs - Your upstairs neighbors are loud and obnoxious without any regard to you. You become fed up with them until you realize what they've been dealing with. Some of these stories are not for the faint of heart and may contain blood, gore, abuse, and strong language. You've been warned.
