Seasonal Greeting

Obligatory GibberishGeoffrey Allison: Simple and imperfect. An organism arguably best suited for the wilderness, yet surprisingly adaptable to backyard BBQs and parties. Writer. Fighter. Candlelighter. A fabulist riding the bronc of humanity's merits & foibles for that magical 8 seconds. A curious observer, quiet analytic, explorer of life, and (sometime) pseudonymous man who — being inspired by a story about animating a monster in a laboratory — composes fictional stories and rock guitar instrumentals in his basement — and in a manner similar to that of Dr. Frankenstein.
By the way, SIXSTRINGcpa is a decades-old nickname; the moniker performs domain-name-duty for this website. And here's a photo of me and my wife, in Sep '21, attending a fundraising event for our county library system. (Difficult for me to accept those moments when I am the subject of interest briefly featured inside society magazines.) |
I am guided by the following concepts or ideas — but not only these, obviously:
I believe there's a subtle but important difference between pretending and make believe. I love being creative and engaging in make believe. I do not, however, pretend! |
Answers are absolutely great. Questions are better still! |
A fire needs fed, else it dies. |
Fear not technology yet direct skepticism at technologists, flawed humans impelled by greed and pride. |
You're invited to explore, find and peruse the publicly accessible areas of this website, including a handful of free-to-read very short fictions and poems, like "This is hunger. I am Hungary." or "The Weight of Thought"
However...
WARNING: ACHTUNG!
Threads of silliness and absurdity are included and interwoven throughout this site. I've a legitimate reason, assuming you believe in astrological accuracy. My sun, moon, and ascendancy — combined with a host of planetary positions located here and there — suggest some level of pre-destined playfulness on my part. Can't blame me; who am I to argue with the cosmos?; I am just along for the ride.
So, before you proceed, it's advisable you possess a sense of humor. Arguably, any amount will do. If you have none then flee, squealing, you swine. If you do possess a sense of humor, then thrust out in front of you that shining lantern and spot the serious within the silly as you continue to explore this site.

Extraneous Gibberish
To get my attention send $1MM in cash — or $2MM in cryptocurrency¹ — or, less expensively, send me a message using either the Contact Form or my secure email: SIXSTRINGcpa DOT protonmail DOT com.
Men and women listing For Sale on internet marketplaces 'square body' pickups (highly sought by niche buyers) that they don't actually own in an attempt to harvest contact information should have their names written on blessed scraps of vellum that are then placed into a sacred receptacle from which a single name is drawn annually, the person thereafter living — briefly — inside a Shirley Jackson story made real. |
I once had a childhood crush on a friend's mom² and believe that wasn't entirely atypical. At least not for that time period. This is the 21st century and people are no longer supposed to talk about such things. Such topics... oh! they're verboten.
I have a number of interests and pastimes. For example, I enjoy kayaking. Or what I call a good paddle. If I enjoyed a different kind of paddle — and, under the right circumstances, I may — my safe word for consensual amorous spankings would be expialidocious. I find sailing exhilarating, although I've yet to master the art AND science of commanding both wind + water.

¹ Necessary crypto required is greater than fiat amount to allow for a liquidity discount on crypto balance in times of "real crisis," and also to create emotional and psychological reserves for the many (painful) holding costs caused by the memes.
² A private message — so please don't share — to my school-friend's mom: "Over the decades, you've remained kind. That is a thing of absolute beauty and remarkable strength, not an insignificant feat to perform in this crazy world we all share and exist in. And you're still smoking hot. That's just truth."
³ Don't need footnotes. Not necessary, to be honest. This isn't an academic site. Or journalistic endeavour. This website is a living breathing thing managed by a fiction writer. As such, I wanted to emphasize the FOOT part of footnotes because this is the internet, where there seems to be a large contingent of persons aroused by feet. Just saying; not judging.
