Tramp Stamp @ DSM

By Robert Swartwood on December 15, 2010

My 200-word story “Tramp Stamp” is featured today at the very awesome Dark Sky Magazine. It is, as you may have guessed, about a tattoo. Speaking of which, I’ve started watching Prison Break and the main character has the blueprints of the prison as well as other clues tattooed on his entire upper body. I’m about halfway through the first season and enjoying it, but am curious to know whether it stays enjoyable through the next several seasons (because I’m assuming they actually break out of prison in the first season). Anybody?

    “Tramp Stamp” is an interesting story, Robert. Congrats on its appearance on Dark Sky Magazine.

    I watched the entire series of Prison Break as it aired. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You must, of course, suspend reality, but once you do, you’ll have fun with it. I loved the character, “T-bag.” Wentworth Miller did a terrific job carrying the lead role. I thought the entire cast was outstanding.

    What I identify with in the story is the sacrifice the cat made in ‘going first’. Could I have done that, as much as I don’t like tatts, period? Some asking me would have to be very egotistical and selfish.

    But most sociopaths are… and that is why we love them. We see in them what they see in themselves.

    Kathleen — yes, you must suspend a lot of belief, but very enjoyable. and yes, the cast is great.
