Monkey Business
The tricycle drawing was done in drawing class and I added the squirrel monkeys and the story at my home studio for kicks and giggles.

Slinky World
Slinky World was thought out this year after I observed a "slinky demonstrator" machine at a local inventors' museum which I visited as extra credit for class.

Damned Muse
Damned Muse sears deep, in due course blinds, reeks of smoke, charred feathered wings and yesterday’s woes, drags me, blistered, weeping where, I dare not glance. (Excerpt from poem, “Damned Muse” by Dorrance.)

What’s My Name?
Mom might have lied to me about my name. It could have been Tom or Sidney or Bartholomew Cubbins. I wouldn’t put it past her. She fabricated much about what’s essential to me. (Excerpt from short story, “What’s My Name?” by Dorrance.)
