The Eternal Itch

By Robert Swartwood on December 15, 2009

My story “The Dry Patch” went live today at Verbicide Magazine. The artwork above (courtesy of Skinny Gaviar) should be a good indication that this is not a happy-go-lucky piece. Read at your own risk.

    Ouch. Good story.

    I have dry patches on my knuckles. Everytime I make a fist the skin cracks somewhere and starts to bleed if I don’t use lotion, which is weird, cause I never thought myself the type to “use lotion.”

    Anyway, everybody’s always asking me if I’ve been in a fight lately. Sometimes I tell them I have.

    Thanks, man. And yeah, I have dry skin too, especially now that it’s winter. I will admit that I use lotion. There’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t be ashamed.
