		<description><![CDATA[Winding corridors and low but expansive windows made up the dilapidated building&#8217;s immaculate architecture. Residents took little notice of the unique structure, coming and going being aware of little more than the affordable rent they were asked to pay by the first Friday of the month. Without constant tenants, their home would surely have long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My tale of travesty and woe begins a mere thirteen days ago, if my sense of time is functioning on any comprehensible level. Like many other tales, this one begins at Perkins Family Restaurant and Bakery. Not surprisingly, as I am a cook there. Matt Halperin is my name &#8212; most people just call me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kurt Vonnegut is (still) dead. This disqualifies him as the greatest living writer, but does nothing to negate the fact he was the greatest living writer only moments before his passing. A few quotations to remember him by&#8230;
&#8220;All of the true things that I am about to tell you are shameless lies.&#8221;
&#8220;A purpose of human [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part 12: Stacy: The Thanatological Principle
Have you ever smelled the putrid stench of death? The rank, vibrant repugnance that is human decay? Perhaps the ultimate malodor? I have only twice in my life. Once as a little girl and once more as a sophomore in high school. Allow me to explain.
As a twelve-year old in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part 11: Benson: The Enemy Within
Judges are a strange breed. Unique in their calculations and in their eccentricities. You do not get to be a judge without being exceptionally gifted in some respect. And you do not get to be gifted without the odd quirks that come with brilliance. As they have said time and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part 10: Grant: Buried Alive
The drive to the cemetery was surprisingly quick and painless. My buzz had worn off a while back and I was able to focus on my driving. Not that my potentially poor driving is what would attract attention when there&#8217;s a gaping bloody hole in my windshield, mind you. So we [...]]]></description>
