<title>I JUST HATE SPIDERS</title>
<link>http://www.thecheers.org/article_878_I-JUST-HATE-SPIDERS.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[In order for one to appreciate my dilemma, one must first understand that I hate spiders. Not just some spiders, but all spiders. I think somehow the spiders hate me back. They seem to always be there when I least expect them and they always get in at least one good bite before I dispatch them. Because of this, I dispatch them in the most gruesome way possible.

<title>A Christmas Story - The Bicycle</title>
<link>http://www.thecheers.org/article_860_A-Christmas-Story---The-Bicycle.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is from a writer named Tom Sterner-Howe, who was gracious enough to send it to me for posting in the Christmas/holiday issue, which is this coming-up week. This would be ideal for launching off the Fiction section. This piece will extend all the way through the next two weeks, until the first full week of January, when, hopefully, the month-long schedule begins, with the inclusion of poetry and creative non-fiction.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Exploring your talents within. If I was a novelist I would work on a fiction novel. The characters in the story would have an opening twist to grab the attention of the readers. I would give it a title that says 'read me if you dare!'

<title>The Whore</title>
<link>http://www.thecheers.org/article_766_The-Whore.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[As the clock ticks closer towards noon, my heart fills with dread, for the whore is coming. Taking a deep, cleansing breath, I try to let the negative energy out of my body. Breathe in, count slowly backwards from eight to zero as I exhale. Again, I take another deep breath and slowly allow the negative thoughts to leave my body. She is not my boss, I tell myself affirmatively. She does not control my life, I say to myself as my heart begins to beat faster with the knowledge that the whore is on her way.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Willy fell from the bridge pathway of the cyber forest into a neon maelstrom.  Bright flashes, bolts of instant lightning, excited into existence an illuminated outline where his body had fallen through the surface screen.  Abby held tight to a thick loom of coiled wires, leaned over the bridge, and cried after him in her sweet little-girl voice.  Willy, dont swim in there; the currents will carry you away!  She fluffed and fluttered her tiny wings, lifted from the path.  She was a pixy, a feather and beautiful Childlike thing.  Willy...  Wiiiiillly...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It was a dark and windy night when Jabu was visited by the political campaigners. The wind howled around the tin shack that he had built here on some white supremacists farm five years ago. All whites were supremacists. All whites were rich. He knew this was true because, despite the fact that he had seen things to the contrary on the television down at his local shebeen, his local government representative had told him so. Personally. So he and thirty or forty people had made themselves shacks here on the white supremacists farm while they waited for the houses that the government had promised them.]]></description>

<title>Modern Southern Racism</title>
<link>http://www.thecheers.org/article_400_Modern-Southern-Racism.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[It was just after midnight and it was raining. Somehow sitting there, watching the rain through those plate glass windows that surrounded the L-shaped dinning room of the huddle House, while the rest of the Blairsville slept gave me a very peaceful feeling. The dining room seemed a steely glow in comparison to the inky darkness of the restaurants perimeters. The asphalt of the empty parking lot gleamed like ravens wings. The night air was warm and smelled of peach trees and honeysuckles.

<description><![CDATA[ When he woke, tiny fingers of light were just beginning to wander through the curtains. These fingers moved playfully... teasingly? across the room, shifting, disappearing and jumping back into the room as the leaves of the trees outside of the window danced in the gentle morning breeze. He looked at the lights, watching as though they were created for his sole entertainment.]]></description>
