Free Poetry Book Giveaway!

Feb 17, 2018

Hello readers! Today I'm finally happy to announce something that I've been wanting to do for a long time: a book giveaway for Innermost! The original plan had been to do a giveaway on Goodreads but since they now charge for it I do not have a big enough budget to go through with that anymore. So, I've come up with another solution!

This contest ends on March 17th, 2018 so make sure you send in your entries as soon as possible! I apologize to international readers, but th

Lost Thoughts - Volume Two: Perfect Pussy

My life had become characteristically lonely, devoid of any real stimulation outside of my usual introverted hours of studying the various topics that I was passionate about. I was a highly educated man who spent hours and hours on end head buried in books, and that was socially numbing. That was probably the reason I did it though. Society was a burden to me. I, however, had never been a burden to society. Eventually though, the loneliness had taken its toll on me and finally decided that my social life needed birthing. The internet seemed to be the place for invigorating my banal days with constant entertainment, new excitements and possibl

Love Your Neighbour

Anger was something Anna had struggled with all of her life, even after “successfully” completing anger management classes twice. She knew that the best way to hatch despair was to brood over her troubles and it worked every single time. Anna’s anger was often misguided at people who didn’t have anything to do with the problem. That was especially true when it came to the pesky neighbours who lived in her apartment building. Everybody knew that she didn’t take well to strangers, and when she first moved across the railroad tracks into a rather fancy neighbourhood compared to the kind of environment she’d a

The Distant Factory - Chapter Twenty

Byron took me by the hand and the two of us checked out of the hotel room. Down in the streets below life went on as usual. People walked passed us with big smiles on their faces and went about their business without a worry in the world. The same couldn’t be said for Byron and I. He was about to walk into his father’s congregation after five years of seemingly having evaporated off the face of the earth. I was about to blow my cover and go to prison for the rest of my days. I took a deep breath and followed Byron’s lead. “I haven’t been here in an eternity,” he spoke as he racked his brain, “I might

The Distant Factory - Chapter Nineteen

I took the first bus out of Dobbs Ferry at five in the morning. I looked like hell and I felt like the devil himself. The search for pleasure was overrated. There was absolutely nothing to be gained from life. Everything was utterly meaningless. I took public transit all the way down to Trent Woods, another small community near Queens. There was an old French man named Gerard Lacroix who had ties to one of the girls in the gang and who had a couple of properties in other states. I was going to give him my ten thousand dollars and ask him to let me live in one of them just for a little while until I figured out what I wanted to do next. My lif
