The Position - Micro Theater Miami (6/6/12 - 7/8/12)
This one act appeared in Miami as part of Micro Theater, a Spanish theater movement that is currently expanding to the United States. Micro Theater features several one-acts occurring at the same time in separate spaces, allowing audience members to choose which performances they want to see. The Position depicts two candidates who are forced to battle it out during a group interview for a dream job. Although they try to be cordial, before long they're undercutting and one-upping each other, culminating in a freestyle rap contest. (Yes, it gets out of control very quickly...and is hilarious.)

The Ultimate Hunger Games - McSweeney's Internet Tendency (11/22/11)
"I enter the dining room. There’s a gold cornucopia on the table. I
think, what a wonderful seasonal flourish. But I know it’s dangerous. My
ten relatives rush towards it, grabbing at the appetizers that are
sprinkled around like land mines. I want to do the same, but I waver…
early-eating is a deadly mistake."
The Bride's Day-of Schedule - Defenestration (06/08/11)
"7:30a: Wake up for real, take a shower and
welcome your bridesmaids. Ask Bridesmaid #1 why she brought a travel
container of Starbucks blend coffee, when you, the bride,
requested a tallskinnyvanillalatte. When she starts to cry, tell her
it’s okay – but, roll your eyes, so she knows that it actually is not
okay."
My Modern Family - McSweeney's Internet Tendency (04/27/11)
"My modern family begins with me, my mom, my dad and my sister. My sister is a dog; her name is Snickers. My mom is Russian, and believes that running will give you a heart attack. My dad is a Scientologist. He signed a billion-year contract with Sea Org, so I don’t see him very often.
Sometimes he sends me packages of sand."

How to Become a Chatelebrity - Defenestration (03/30/11)
"If
you’re like me, and I think you are, you are not social, but you dream
of being a little bit famous. You are awkward, but you are also
delusional. Am I right? You’re trying to get out in the world without
ever leaving your apartment. Yes? Well, it is time for you to thank a
god – and that 17 year old Russian kid – for thinking up Chatroulette."
ALGERNON Cover Letter - The Rumpus (03/12/10)
"Please consider my 12,323 word short story, entitled A L G E R N O N, THE UNTOUCHABLE KNIGHT, for publication. It is a well-written, touching, enthusiastic, complex, and thrilling story that spans many genres, but largely devotes itself to epic lore, myth, the exploration of the body/mind continuum, fantasy, and some interspecies erotica."
