one of my favorite writers and people put me in a story

While the events of this story are very cruel and absurd and chaotic, I wrote "Appointment with Scotch" out of profound respect and with a very lucid sense of appreciation for ZH. All the gratitude to BRUISER!!!

ZH kept delaying the scotch. “We have an appointment with scotch,” I texted him when I arrived at Sea World. The children were braying around me, little lost idiots. @indigojackal.bsky.social's entry in a proud lineage of fiction featuring BRUISER staff www.bruisermag.com/chaudhuri_sc...

ICYMI — last week @ minor lits ... — @ericracher.bsky.social on Pasolini's DAVID minorliteratures.com/2025/03/25/q... — new fiction from @indigojackal.bsky.social minorliteratures.com/2025/03/27/t...

new story this past week. feels especially vernal since it involves tennis and references Good Friday. Pasolini has a film about Christ, and Eric's essay is marvelously insightful as to his poetry. You see, it's all connected!

A wild and delightful romp of a story.

Utterly delightful.

I'll kill Gage.

I have a story in Juked that I hope will adequately address why I can't make it to your birthday party. http://www.juked.com/2023/06/avee-chaudhuri-after-the-lecture-on-donald-barthelme.asp

Me: Just look at you, barely held together by your pills and your drink. Gage: don't forget my pathetic love of the Netflix original series The Baby-Sitters Club

"When you're here you're family! You're fucking family!!!" Gage screams as he is escorted out of the Olive Garden.

Gage was day drinking at Buffalo Wild Wings when he suddenly remembered his second family in Galveston.

I'll kill Gage.
