Here is an excerpt from the story:

Razorblades and the Queen of Disease

Copyright 2008 James Patrick Riser

      The woman who rode Michael's dick would have been beautiful if she wasn't a whore. The springs in the old, worn hotel mattress creaked loudly in his ear as he studied the deep lines in her face, lines carved by the years of performing in her occupation. Her eyes still retained a mysterious, youthful glow that made him think of the light at the end of a dark tunnel, and he could see that she only looked forward to the end of this.

      He placed his hands around her thin waist and forced her downward and himself deeper. He wanted to savior the whore. Other times he didn't even bother to slide his pants down past his knees. He would shove himself to the back of their throats, until those doe eyed fuck dolls gagged and until he reached Heaven.

Thanks for the support, and I implore everyone to spread the word about my work whenever possible. Look on my website for a banner that you can place on your myspace or website and perhaps encourage your friends to join the mailing list!

James has been asked by Necroscopic Unlimited to write the sceenplay for the feature film, The Eating Game.

The year is 2049. Damn near anything goes on cable access television. Society is chaotic and people just dont seem to care one way or the other anymore. Not much is taboo any longer. The TV station in hand, Channel 13 and its weekly hour long program ILL DO ANYTHING will be showcasing a 6 week long contest issued from a man who plans to commit suicide and wants a lucky winner to eat his flesh. Once the task is completed they will inherit his 3.4 billion dollar estate.The game is, THE EATING GAME. But is this what the game really is? Come inside and see for yourself. Welcome to our game. We hope you win!
