David Wellington, “Frostbite”
David Wellington, “Frostbite” published in serial online in July, 2006 and in print in 2009.
Werewolves in “Frostbite” have only two forms; human and lupine. They cannot control the change, and take on lupine form at any time that the moon is above the horizon, regardless of the moon’s phase. The lupine form is similar to a normal wolf, but significantly stronger and more aggressive, bearing an intense hatred of humans. They have elements of the dire wolf, including unusually wicked teeth. Even in human form, the werewolf is notably stronger, faster and more resilient than a normal human of its physique
Silver is the nemesis of werewolves, as even a relatively light binding of silver chain cannot be broken by one. The effects of long-term contact with silver, or of silver weaponry, are not yet clear. It is known that contact with silver bindings in lupine form can leave a lasting mark when the werewolf regains human form.
Colette: “Where the Sea Was Already a Little Paler Than the Sky”
Photographer Unknown, (Human Significance)
‘Let them die,’ he said again. ‘It’s less dangerous. I can swear on my word of honor that I never gave a present or made a loan or an exchange of anything except … this …’
He waved both hands in a complicated gesture which fleetingly indicated his chest, his mouth, his genitals, his thighs. Thanks no doubt to my fatigue, I was reminded of an animal standing on its hind legs and unwinding the invisible. Then he resumed his strictly human significance, opened the door, and easily mingled with the night outside, where the sea was already a little paler than the sky.”
—Colette, The Pure and the Impure, 1932

“Masters points out that the heterosexuals were at a disadvantage, as they do not benefit from what he called “gender empathy”. Doing unto your partner as you would do unto yourself only works well when you’re gay.”

That Day on the Patio

“There always seems to be something upsetting you. You should relax more. It’s not that there’ s nothing coming to get you, there’s everything coming to get you…but relax anyway, just on principle.”

Slice of Light
Photographer Unknown, (Slice of Light)
“There is scarcely anything when a man is in difficulties that he is more disposed to look upon with abhorrence than a rightabout retrograde movement—a systematic going over of the already trodden ground: and especially if he has a love of adventure, such a course appears indescribably repulsive, so long as there remains the least hope to be derived from braving untried difficulties.”

We Are Freaks
Photographer Unknown, (We Are Freaks Tattoo)
“There’s a quality of legend about freaks.
Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.”

Fred Hatt, Pastel Life Drawings
Born in 1958, Fred Hatt is an artist working in figurative drawing and painting, experimental video and photography, and performance. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Art in Film, he is a self-taught artist whose work includes great line drawings on charcoal paper done with oil pastels. Hatt’s work has been exhibited at the Leslie Lohman Gallery in New York City, the American Museum of Natural History, and the “Focus on the Figure” exhibition at the Edward Hopper House Art Center, among others.
“For me what is important is not conceptual or iconographic content, but process and practice. Drawing from life is the core practice for a multi-media career that crosses the boundaries between performance and visual arts, between traditional craft and contemporary technologies.Whether making a drawing, a video piece, a photograph or a performance, the focus is on the perception of energy and its expression through light and form.” -Fred Hatt
