Jared Axelrod is an author, an illustrator, a graphic designer, a sculptor, a costume designer, a podcaster and quite a few other things that he's lost track of but will no doubt remember when the situation calls for it.
He is a founding member of the daily flash-fiction website 365 TOMORROWS, and the writer and producer of two science-fiction podcasts, “The Voice Of Free Planet X” and the serial “Aliens You Will Meet.
He is not domestic, he is a luxury, and in that sense, necessary.

Born Of An Atom Bomb: Ballad of the Eyeball Kid
February 3rd, 2009
The Eyeball Kid can see exactly how you’re going to break her heart. She can see your moves before you make them, the lies in your eyes and the sweat on your brow. She can see though your slight hug, your bloodless peck on the cheek. She can see what you’re doing.
The Eyeball Kid can see you’re about to say that it isn’t her, it’s you. She can see herself agreeing, and being an adult about the whole thing. She can see past you, and your pettiness. She can see the future, and she can see who will regret this, and who won’t.
She can see that it’s over. She can see the million little clues you carry with you in a cloud. Clues that tell her everything she needs to know about the girl you’ve met, what she does for a living and what she likes to do to you bed. This last bit causes her to smirk slightly, but she quickly hides it. But not because she’s afraid you saw it.
You only notice when things are missing.
Born Of An Atom Bomb is a daily warm-up piece, where I base a character around a random word or phrase. Today’s word: eyeball
