Maev Barba Presents: Issue 2 (2 from the Great Boy Detective)

Stories told deep in the woods of Washington where the observatory lies. Join us for geriatric investigations with the great boy detective, and a strange glimpse into a future Earth taken over by “The Body.”

You’re in the desert, then there’s this cube. You’re at Sheri’s, then there’s this cube. The list goes on and on, but really there is only you and the cube. Join us as we visit “My Son with the Twitchy Asshole” and my brother who lives under the floor. But don’t stop there. Feel horror at “The Sore” and “The Naked Father.”

In “The Collider,” learn of the future when an alien race inhabits our own earth, an alien invasion which is the sudden and strange omnipresence of massive and still functioning body parts. Find the heartstrings like fine ribbons from the grass up to your window. Find the mouth the size of an apartment. Find the ankle as large as a sycamore tree, wiggling its toes.

Join the great boy detective as he tracks down a number of wily old coots off their medication. As it turns out, later generations have no problem with utilizing the old for body heat, disposal service, or their ability to stand.
