Mr. Quigley's Untimely End by Punctuation

The Rose & Thorn Journal is a classy establishment with some really decent and nice people (which, sadly, is an uncommon combination). I'm very proud to be featured here! This piece is inspired by day-to-day monotony and a walk through Chicago's Humboldt park. I hope you enjoy reading this surreal action piece. A lot of metaphor has gone into it, so put on your critical thinking running shoes and enjoy.



Check out Mr. Quigley by clicking here. It was published May 15th.

His gawky frame sat awkwardly on the cheap black metal chair—but then, his gawky frame sat awkwardly everywhere, especially so at his desk at the office. Yet regardless, each night he stayed there late, diligently pouring over the latest expenses of Sidebottom and Lamb, Inc. Today was a special treat, getting off in time to eat a meal alone before returning home for an oh-so-pleasant evening of listening to his fiancĂ©e going on about Mr. Whumple’s latest bout of feline constipation.
