Published in "Adventures in Other Worlds" an anthology edited by Chris Bartholomew.
Available at Static Movement's Bookstore
And for slightly more at Amazon: Adventures in Other Worlds

The original title: Detective Stuff and the story started out life as a writing exercise for Evil Editors Blog in 2007. It was a biography of EE and it was biting, wicked satire. I wrote a flash fiction from it called it "Inspector Weannous of the Detective Squad" and had the basic plot of an old detective trains a rookie.
In December 2010, I used Willie Weannous as a character in an erotic story. But I didn't use any other part of this story. I changed the character's name for this story.
In March of 2011, I wrote "Et Exspecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum (WT 90)" and that theme had more story to it. So this is the story I wrote from that phrase.

The Alien's Bunghole (WT 21)

READ THIS ON MY WEBSITE
New Title: The Alien's Bunghole
Old Title: Ecstasy of Gold
Original Title: Mungo McNevin and the Priests Hole

Two college students encounter an alien device in a pub. The device does strange things to them. And in the end, "Slade ... shuffled the decks and daydreamed of two moons drifting over the ocean of dreams and herds of dreezik roaming the inner plains of his home world in the constellation of Ophiuchus. In a few hours, he would walk on his home world once again."

This story started out life way back in 2007 and I've been cannibalizing the chapters that never seemed to work together. The segments were:
1) On my website in February 2009's "I Fought The Spaceship and the Spaceship Won."
2) "Rannoch Abbey and the Night Visitor" in the anthology: MONK PUNK due out in May of 2011.
3) And the final part I can extract is this story - The Alien's Bunghole.

Scarecrow (WT 42a)

Not all heroes have powers and muscles and capes. Some heroes live lonely, solitary lives and care for the ordinary things, lest the ordinary things become unique.
There's a big, black scarecrow in someone's future. If you leave the city life, the rat race and modernity to return to the greener, agricultural lifestyle, what becomes of those touches of modern isolation and loss of ancestral memories?

The original story was first published online in Golden Visions Magazine on March 31, 2009 in the online edition and after 120 days went away as Golden Vision does not maintain an archive of online stories.

A revised version of this story titled "KAKASHI" has been accepted for publication in LOCAL HEROES, an Anthology edited by Brandon Rucker and published by STATIC MOVEMENT late summer or early fall 2011. This will be a reprint.

(WT 82-A,B) The Penis Tree

An exercise between friends. Use the three word title to create a story.
In addition to the title, There were four themes: Impalement, Absorption, Satyrs/Nymphs, Zombies

The ZOMBIE theme became story 87D.
The SATYR/NYMPH/ mythical creature - succubus theme became a ghost story 87C. Why did it become a Succubus story? Because not all story ideas can have a same title and atmosphere or tone.

That leaves Impalement and Absorption for 87A and 87B. Both of those are merely ideas floating around the ether.

(WT 82-C) The Devil's Massif

Something happened up on the Devil's Massif. A man's reputation was ruined and his life turned to ashes. Once, She lived in a glade on the Devil's Massif and woe to the man who wandered into her glade.
