We are vibrations, a complex song or, perhaps, just beautiful noise.

My Cute Zombie Girlfriend
It’s just beginning and you can start reading on Kindle Vella now!
I was at the mall when the whole “end of the world by zombies” thing went down. I managed to make it out of the immediate crowds of people and hordes of undead. However, lucky for me, a cute undead girl, hungering for my heart… and the rest of my body… followed me. I’m keeping a journal of our love and you’re welcome to read it but keep your hands off my cute zombie girlfriend!

I’ve been locked in this closet for the last three days. Well, I like to think of it as I’ve locked them out of the closet, it makes it easier to accept living in a five-foot-by-nine-foot room. I’m just lucky the janitor liked to snack at work. The place had a decent stash of chips, soda, and beef jerky when I got here, although it’s starting to run out.
It’s quiet most of the time, just footsteps stumbling back and forth in the hallway on the other side of the door. Of course, sometimes, they start banging on the door. The meaty sound of their fists hitting the aluminum might go on for hours or just a few minutes. I’m not sure if they get some whiff of me or if they just bang on random doors for whatever registers as fun for them.
What’s their reason for rattling my door? Can they even have reasons for what they do? They’re dead. They’re dead and they’re still moving. There’s nothing about any of it that has anything to do with reason…
Nothing good ever happens here...
I wrote a new choose-your-path story today Each passage is a tanka poem.
“HERE” (Nothing Good Ever Happens Here!)
Desolate, hopeless, horror genre… in poetic form with a choose-your-path spin.
You live here, in a gray world where nothing good ever happens. Explore the desolate landscape, find mysteries and monsters, but never find a way to escape.

As a Phillip, let me tell you, he’s not welcome anywhere that shares my name.
How clearly does the point need to be made that "police officer" is just a job. It is a job with minimal training and minimal monitoring. It is NOT some kind of promise of honesty, truth, or heroism. It is a bunch of assistant managers with extremely powerful weapons. IF you can understand "pedophiles choose to be priests and teachers so they can get to children", IF you understand "arsonists choose to be firefighters so they can be present at their own crimes" - then you can ALSO understand "people who are bigoted, violent, and power-hungry choose to be cops for the opportunities the job presents" and you can ALSO understand "any occupational culture that chooses fraternity over justice - and the allowance of violence in the name of a unified front - is therefore siding with their worst representatives"

Which streaming service pays the most to artists? Per-Stream Payout Rate, in USD [x] So if you play an album 100 times on Tidal or Napster the artist gets about $1, on Amazon or Spotify they get around 30c
For my money the best balance of good artist payouts and high quality files seems to be Tidal - which also seems like an obvious choice for Fiona Apple fans. If you want to download an .MP3 then Apple iTunes allows that.
Amazon also pays less than half in most cases what places like Smashwords pay per sale of an e-book.
There & Here (Phillip J Rhoades)
I walked where you are walking now. I stumbled and righted myself. I fell and stood back up. Hands reached out to pull me back and hands reached out to pull me forward. I didn’t die in that lonely place. I’ll greet you when you’re here.
Submitted my game, Wake Up, to EctoComp2018
You are awake and alone. Unable to move. Unable to fight against the thing slowly rising from within you. Is there any part of you that can resist? Any part that you can still move? (Based on a true event in my life when I was fourteen)

Interdimensional Interference and Pattern Bleed
At times there can be what is observed as a sudden slippage between similar time streams as a result of dimensional frequency interference. Effectively the dimensional or temporal version of radio static. Human beings are a pattern in a particular dimensional frequency. As such, that pattern can bleed into nearby frequencies when there is a disturbance or power spike in that frequency.
The difference between a bleed in radio frequencies and dimensional frequencies is persistence. Once a pattern has been introduced to a particular dimensional frequency it becomes a part of the overall pattern held within that frequency. From the perspective of linear time, the bled pattern would be carried forward from the point of interference until the end of the signal. This makes pattern leak between dimensional frequencies essentially permanent.
One other thing to consider is that a pattern being bled into a nearby time stream does not mean that the original pattern has moved, but rather been copied in a most likely degraded form. In fact, that pattern likely still exists in the old frequency unless the power spike was massive enough to permanently disrupt the original pattern. A higher spike of power or disruption is likely to create a clearer bleed of pattern, but also more likely to disrupt the original signal.
We, like all things, are a pattern in a frequency. A weak signal in the multiverse. We are a song in the static of eternity. I think we are more than just beautiful noise.
