Suzy Ingersoll
A world traveler and cynic, Suzy Ingersoll would like to
put the world on pause for a couple years so she would have
enough time to sleep, read, bathe, and devour chocolate without
feeling guilty. She breaks for Monopoly at McDonalds, used
books sales, and anything of and/or pertaining to surrealism.
Within the wonderful world of writing, she has been most influenced
by Paul Bowles, Ayn Rand, and oh yeah, her mom. She has written
a number of short stories, a couple of poems, a lot of depressing
crap, and continues to work on her soon-to-be bestseller,
The World According to Suzy Ingersoll.

DAY FOR SPAGHETTI SAUCE
She sits in a dark, stuffy room, only vaguely aware

feel at home. The door opens, and he switches on the
light. "Why are you sitting in the dark?"
he asks. No reply. Neither the darkness nor the silence
is surprising. After 10 months of marriage, he's beginning
to wonder what he's gotten himself into. "What's
for dinner, Angela? Ang…?" She looks up and
beyond him, "Yes," her stifled answer. "What
are we going to eat for dinner tonight?" he repeats,
frustration already surfacing. It's been a long day;
why does he have to come home to this? >>>
