Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part VII – The Party

By Michael Allen on Tuesday, October 28, 2025

The sounds of balls cracking on the pool table echoed throughout the hall as music played on low in the background. This wasn’t a hopping club after all. It was still on campus at the Student Center where Julie caught up to Marcus. They grabbed a seat on the couch by the window and shared …

Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part VI – The Bar Scene

By Michael Allen on Monday, October 27, 2025

As Dad made his way to the table with a new pitcher of beer, Stone was just finishing his mug. “Right on time,” he gasped as he swallowed, wiping beer from his beard. “The bartender’s kind of slow tonight, though,” Dad said as he grabbed his mug and poured himself another one. Stone looked around …

Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part V – Chad Unhinged

By Michael Allen on Saturday, October 25, 2025

The halls smelled like too much cologne and body mist, with active students buzzing around like the coffee adrenaline had kicked into high gear. Wide awake, guys with wet hair and girls with hastily tied ponytails were making their way from one class to another with casual rebellion underscoring their apathetic ambition. There was a …

Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part IV – The Chad

By Michael Allen on Tuesday, October 21, 2025

The windows rattled as the weedwhacker buzzed the morning silence away, not a care in the world that anyone was still trying to sleep. Jealous lawn workers must hate college students for their laid-back lives and the short hours they spend in class. Those were the thoughts crossing Julie’s mind as she sat up and …

Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part III – Wedding Day

By Michael Allen on Saturday, October 18, 2025

Jeph could remember the smell of charcoal, beer, and freshly cut grass that day. It wasn’t the only memory he had from way back when he was eight years old on Mom’s wedding day, the day she got hitched to a man who called himself “Dad” on the first day. They hadn’t known each other …

Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part II – Obsession

By Michael Allen on Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Jeph took in a few deep breaths like he was about to lift a heavy weight. He was psyched to the max and psyching himself out even more as he thought about Julie. That was her name, his new obsession. Now, he had a name to go with that beautiful face and those nice legs …

Joker Joker Deuce Halloween Series Part I – A Monster Awakens

By Michael Allen on Monday, October 13, 2025

A gray sky for a shiny black 1971 Dodge Polara spells disaster, especially when it had just been washed earlier that day. The clouds weren’t quite dark yet, but they were getting there, and Jeph just knew the day was going to piss on his parade. But he had orders to fill, and there was …

The Fire He Carried: The Murder of Mackenzie Lueck

By Michael Allen on Monday, October 6, 2025

Morning sunlight spilled through the curtains of her apartment in Salt Lake City. The city was just waking up, soft and quiet, the kind of calm that always comes before the noise of the day. Mackenzie Lueck moved through her morning the same way she always did, coffee in hand, scrolling through her phone, planning …
