My Pain

I am at a stage to where all I feel is the pain. I am not talking about the pain you have in a muscle where you can take a pill or massage it, and it disappears. I am talking about the master pain you have deep in your heart. The shifting pain that creeks in your joints and haunts you every time you move. It is shocking how things affect you in life and then makes you look at life from a different perspective.


 What causes my pain? Is the pain in my heart caused by a broken heart, wounded by my true love? No! Is the pain in my joints caused by age, explainable in a place in my life? No! The straightforward things about my pains are that I am the only one that can see it in black and white. In short, I am the only one that sees the truth.


 Every day the pain I feel in my joints makes me want to die. I feel like a zombie walking for nothing more than a meal of death and misfortune. The pain in my heart makes me even more depressed to where it cares no more.


 Thank God I hate pain.? If I did not hate pain so much I feel like I may have pushed it over the edge. Like when working on a project. Knowing it is almost done and that last effort is not even worth it. That is why I am still writing this letter. With a deep pain in my heart and joints.


 The black and white help me see colors. Ture colors! Not the colors used to candy coat something to help the ones, pushing my pain, see more green. 


The pain makes me feel infested, with an Alien illness. When I say Alien, I mean Alien from out of this world. The pain has it's DNA change and is smart enough to learn and dodge medicines that are made by our medical system which is a facade in its actual purpose. The only way to kill it is starving it, which makes it hard to do, on the diet which is pushed upon us as we live.


 My pain is an epidemic. The lies posted, make my pain hurt more. This story is not a sci-fi story. This story is not fiction. This story is the truth. Not told by me but by my pain. Help!

I See Dead People!

I have been asked many times over the years from writing scripts to stories - How do you write such dark stories? That's plain and simple. If you have been able to see dead people for the past 32 years, that other people can't see, you would have a dark imagination also. I See Dead People!

Shorty Story Equation

I have worked many different departments/jobs/positions over the years in the film industry. Now that I am just a writer and love to tell stories, I find this equation helpful.

Interview with Mark Wright (Author & Screenwriter)

To read more interviews, book reviews and short stories, follow J.A. Sullivan at her blog Writing Scared  https://writingscaredblog.wordpress.com

 Interview with Mark Wright (Author & Screenwriter)

Mark Wright (Writer MDW)

Upon joining Twitter last summer, I began following @MidnightGore who had just released The Serial Killer Newsletter (TSKN).

“Imagine an “underground” newspaper where the editors and authors are those that committed the crimes. They write in and describe and justify their killings for the entertainment of their readers. The reader gets to follow these killers as they recount their experiences.” – excerpt from Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life, https://gbhbl.com/special-feature-the-serial-killer-newsletter-midnight-gore/

Within minutes of reading the first issue, which included two stories, each from the perspective of the perpetrator, I was hooked. So, I reached out and began a conversation with the man behind Midnight Gore, Mark Wright.

I soon found out that he had worked in the film industry for years, in many departments. His favorite departments were script writing and directing. And while Mark still loves being a storyteller, he’s begun to channel his creations through the written word, leaving the world of cinema behind him.

Since the first time I reached out to Mark, we’ve had great conversations about books, movies, and many other random life events. When I asked him for a formal interview, he was a little tentative, but decided to go along with it. While he may be new to the world of short stories and novels, this guy knows horror!

WS: Many times, horror movies get a lot of hype before release, but are a big let down to fans. Where do you think they go wrong?

MW: The hype is done as a promotional effort to help people gain an interest in a project ($) before it is released for wide public consumption. Me personally, when I see a large promotional endeavor taking place for a project, and see an overwhelmingly large amount of critics up-talking it, I lose interest. With that many people pushing it, there’s a reason why it is being overly promoted (usually not good).

WS: What do you look for in a great horror story, whether it be a film or a book?

MW: Action, Conflict, Thrill, Shock, Freight. Something that will make the story hard to forget when it is over; that is what makes a horror story memorable to me. These things can occur within a character, event, part of the plot (or plot change), and even if the antagonist prevails and lives at the end.

WS: Who has influenced your work the most?

MW: I am a big David Cronenberg fan. I love his imagination and how he puts a story on film. William S. Burroughs opens doors in books just like David Cronenberg does on films to me.

WS: What’s your favorite horror story?

MW: Oh geez, that’s a hard question! Movie: Videodrome; Book: not sure. Recently, Bret Easton Ellis has been on my mind.

WS: What was your proudest achievement in film?

MW: Kill Kill. I loved the people I worked with on it, and a version of it was released in black and white. It was meant to be a black and white noir film. I turned the story over to Eric Fisk and he is working on a pre-story to it. He will also be working on a part of the story where the film ended. He will be writing this in book format.

WS: In your latest issue of TSKN (#3), you announced joining Big Green Publishing. How did this partnership come about?

MW: My friend, Eric Fisk, owns Big Green Publishing and likes what I do. He was needing content and I was needing promotion, it worked out for the best of both of us. He is good at what he does, and I am very lucky to be on board.

WS: Your story, Deadly Dreams, which appears both in TSKN #3 and Big Green Publishing’s site, is based on a script you wrote. What’s been the biggest challenge in transitioning the script to written word? What’s been the easiest part to translate?

MW: The hardest part was creating more to the story. The story was taken from a short film script. When rewriting it, I needed to add to the beginning of the actual story and more to the end. The story, when in literary format, was freed because I didn’t have to worry about a shooting budget. I was able to add more conflicts and plots to the story (which have not been released yet) that lets the concept and main character become more entertaining to a reader. The easiest part of the story was putting the parts back in that I was limited from when writing the short film script.

WS: What has been your favorite short story to write so far?

MW: The Grindhouse 42nd Street Killer in TSKN #2.


WS: That’s still my favorite of your short stories too! Lastly, what advice would you give to new authors or screenwriters of horror?

MW: No matter if it is a reader or an audience never let them get bored. NEVER.

Jeff Somers' New Book, Writing Without Rules

If you're looking for a good book on how to write a novel, read 'Writing Without Rules: How To Write & Sell a Novel Without Guidelines, Experts, or (Occasionally) Pants' by Jeff Somers. The book is very straightforward on its information while at the same time offers a great sense of humor. I ordered the book on  Amazon, Writing Without Rules, and am very happy I did.

What I Do… Why?




By Mark Wright


I reach into my pocket and pull out my door keys. Sorting through the many keys on my key ring, I stop and process my life events wondering why I do what I do. I find my door key. Slide it in the doorknob and turn it which turns the doorknob and slowly opens my apartment door. The moonlight, shining through the front window, lights the room as a black and white noir picture. The picture of my den, artistic through my peripheral vision, is not right. I grab the doorknob and stop the door. Listening for any odd sounds, I hear nothing but the buzz on my neighbor’s TV. He leaves it on 24-7, even though he canceled his cable three months ago. I can’t smell anything out of place but can taste a New York dark brown shoe polish in the air like when I get my shoes shined. I never have my brown shoes polished. Staring at the wall—listening to the seconds tick, inside my head. A shadow twitches. Without time to think, I roll to the right, with my back against the split between my neighbor’s door, and pull the door shut. With my hand still on the doorknob, I hear a large caliber gun ignite inside my apartment, followed by an enormous hole appearing above my arm, in the door. Without thinking, I am on the ground, parallel to the outer door baseboard. My pistol in hand, I put the barrel on the bottom of the doorknob and fire. The doorknob and lock fly backward along with the door.  I see the shadow, smoke flowing from its pistol barrel. I fired three shots. Entering and exiting the shadow. I hear my neighbor, Shane, opening his door. I stand up, brush myself off, and put my gun in its holster. As I shut my door, Shane looks over at me.


“What’s up Wes?” says Shane.


“Not much… You hungry?”


“Sure.”


“Let’s go get a pizza and a beer," I say.


Shane smiles with his eyes wide open and points in my direction.


I nod my head, “Sir Pizza… I’m buying.”


“Let me get my jacket,” said Shane.


I take my smartphone from my pocket and dial…


“This is Wes… I need a cleaner…"

The Streets of New York – The Prologue (Text and Audio Versions)

The Streets of New York - Prologue

By Mark Wright


It’s another cold night in New York City. The moon is full, and ice is hanging from the street signs. As I lie in the alley hoping to feel the heat from the warm building bricks,  I watch what little trash the street cleansers failed to vacuum float past my head. Being homeless can make a  person understand what survival actual means.
I blink for a second, which turned into an hour, and am waken by an expensive pointed Europen shoe barreling its way into my muscle–the vastus intermedius between my flesh and femur (I watch reruns of House at Wally’s bar while drinking coffee).
“Wake up street trash.”
“What the…,” I bellowed, gritting my teeth as I  grab my leg.
"Get out of here, This ain’t the mission, you freeloader.”
This guy is dressed way to well, to be working in a kitchen of some almost fancy restaurant. He had about as much class as the pimps down on  42nd St.
“Sorry Sir, I was just trying to stay warm.”
He opens his jacket and shows me his gun clenched in his shoulder holster. I did my best not to feel the pain and most passively stood up.
“I am leaving Sir, no arguments here.”
I turn around and start walking, he aims the little stray pebbles, settled on the alley pavement, with one swift kick in my direction. I feel the pebbles as small pieces of shrapnel bounce off my pant legs.
It amazes me how ignorance is so prevalent when a person fails to access a situation or person observantly. The two inch, in circumference, orb in my pocket starts glowing green, (the orb, set to a default, when reading my physical shell as a matter of self-security).
I turn around. Looking at the overdressed God Father wannabe character. The orb starts to glow through the flesh in my hand, turning it as green as the orb, and in one small instance...
He no longer exists.
                                                     *****
My earth name is Adam. I came from a plant three light years away from earth. Exiled for a few reasons, none justifiable through my own eyes. I am here… One day hopefully I can find my way home.

I Never Listen

I love to write stories. They are not hard to write, but emotions can sometimes be more painful than you think.
