Do you know what makes Batman such a great protagonist, a great movie hero?  The dude has some serious issues.  Batman is really an old fashion vigilante.  And a vigilante is a criminal.

So, when you create a protagonist it’s okay if he or she is not a “goody-two-shoe.”

The Old Soldier was just sitting at his workstation, streaming away on Twitter when the news announcer on the radio said the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, will be shot in Pittsburgh this summer.

Take a moment to download your copy of The Pittsburgh Stories.  The Old Soldier is so proud of his little eBook.  It cost only $6.00.  And at that price for some great show-don’t-tell fiction, you know you can’t beat it with a stick.

Blogging: Death Of A Friend

The Old Soldier found out today through Facebook that an old friend died last October.  His name was Bobby Porter.  He was around the Old Soldier’s age and he was the lead singer for a local rock and roll bar band known as Thin White Line.  It was his band.  He put it together.  The band did covers but a lot of originals, too.  That’s unusual in Pittsburgh.  Thin White Line did the sound track for the only full-length film that the Old Soldier did when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers as a Super 8 filmmaker over twenty years ago.

The band must have been together at least twenty years.  It was a part of the local music scene.  The Old Soldier remembers when the band broke up.  What was Bobby gonna do now?  The band had been his entire adult life.

Bobby was working class his entire life, working menial jobs to keep his dream of rock and roll glory alive.  He was also a veteran.  The Old Soldier saw and grooved to Thin White Line live several times.

 A short black man missing a front tooth, Bobby Porter was quite a performer and had the blues voice that sounds so good singing that rock and roll.

Naughty Pittsburgh

I’ve lived in Pittsburgh a long time and there is a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on.

Hello, bloggers, writers and students, staff and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh.  The Old Soldier has kept his eyes open all these years.  Hell, I participated.  And I took notes.  That’s why these stories that I’m about to recommend to you for literary entertainment read like little documentary films.

I know something about film.  Years ago, before I got my MFA at Pitt, I was a student and then a member of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers.  That experience had a great impact on the show-don’t-tell style of writing that distinguishes the very short stories of the Sexy Stories tab at the top of the page.  I hope, dear reader, you are not easily shocked.

This is the Old Soldier reporting from Oakland in Pittsburgh.

An Erotic Short Story For October

Hello hello hello aspiring and veteran writers and lovers of fine writing.  This is the Old Soldier with a special treat today for all of my Flash Fiction Fanatics.  Today begins the publication of a new feature in the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, the most dynamic flash fiction publication on the Internet.  Today begins the Short Story For The Month feature. 

The flash fiction story is alive and well here in Pittsburgh and through out the United States and beyond.  So, every month I will republish a story from the archives, either one of my own or one from a guest writer, and designate it as the short story for the month.  The short story for the month will exemplify the craft and the art of the very short story.

This magazine is always on the look out for writing talent.  The Submissions tab is at the top of the page.

This month’s Short Story For The Month is one of my own.  It is about lust and longing and young love.  It is written in the famous show-don’t-tell technique, which means the author must get out-of-the-way as soon as possible so that the characters can act out the story.  It has the classic two-character set up in the classic significant event with closure form.  Let the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette be your resource for articles on blogging and writing and your home for flash fiction entertainment.

Now for our feature presentation.

All The Sad Young Lovers

Raymond knew this was goodbye. Claudette’s two semesters in America were over. She had some euro-trash pop on the CD player. The flickering light from several candles stuck in wine bottles made the off-campus room she rented seem like the set of a horror film. The footlocker she used as a table was completely hidden by a blood-red piece of plastic. Cheese, ham, bread, glasses, plates, cutlery and a bottle of cheap wine were already set out on the makeshift table.

Raymond waited in the bed on his back under the white sheet. He had sold several photos of Claudette nude to a well-known men’s magazine, but he still felt like a poor college student.

Claudette came out of the bathroom. Her nude body glowing even in the candle light, the place between her legs dark. She sat on the bed and smiled down at him. He reached and held her upper thigh.

“Why so sad?” she said.

“You’re going back to France. You’re going back to Leo.”

“One day you will be a great photographer.”

She reached under the sheet and began to fondle him. He watched her face.

“Ah,” she said. “You come alive for me one last time.”

“Claudette, don’t go.”

She pulled the sheet away and watched him come fully erect under her hand. He watched her face. She bent down and took his hard manhood into her mouth. She closed her eyes. He watched her head with its short, dark curls going slowly up and down, up and down, up and down and up and down. She was petite with small features. He was always fascinated with how wide she could open her mouth, with how much of his swollen hardness she could take in her mouth…

Finally she straddled him. She got up on her knees high over him and held his hardness in her hand, slowly descending and ascending, but always descending until he was snug all the way inside her. She sat over him now on all fours, smiling down into his eyes, her hips slowly grinding, her breasts bouncing in font of his face. It went on and on and on…

Finally, she moaned, “Raymond…Raymond…Raymond…My Raymond…”

He knew she was cumming. She stared down into his eyes. Her hips slowing grinding…His seed gushed into her…She collapsed on top of him and he held her tight in his arms. For the first time since they had been lovers, she had cum first.

The End

Writing The “Dirty” Short Story

Pornographic film set.

Porn has become mainstream.  There use to be a couple of porn movie houses in Pittsburgh.  They’re gone.  Part of the reason that they are no longer around is because people can download their porn on to their computers.  And when I say people I’m not talking about seedy men on the fringes of society.  I’m talking college students, couples and middle-class husbands and wives.

Pornography has become mainstream entertainment.  And film is not the only medium that porn impacts.  It has impacted the writing of flash fiction.

Check out the Adult-XXX tab at the top of the page.  All four cum-filled stories will be sent to your inbox for a $1.00 donation.

If you don’t want to give up $1.00, you can always check out the erotica.  The erotica is free.  Just click on the Sexy Stories tab at the top of the page.
