Lohbado and the bear

            Lohbado was sent to the office of Headmaster Bates after stealing a slice of Lori’s cherry-cream pie. Lohbado was fourteen-years old at the time. Master Bates trembled with rage as Lori led the boy by the ear into the office. He pulled out a twelve-inch wooden ruler and spanked the boy’s hand until it turned red.

rosy glow spaghetti

For inspiration, Lohbado gazed for a long time into a bowl of spaghetti, until a rosy glow spread throughout the bottle-green room. One eye on noodles, the other on strawberry, Lohbado felt oneness of the two. A dynamic tension pulled them together, while maintaining a safe distance.

salt, pepper and false teeth

    Lohbado followed salt, pepper and false teeth into the soft tungsten light of the kitchen.

Lohbado's bite was worse than his bark. Add a little salt and pepper to make it taste better.
