Lamination Colony

This project is believed to be defunct. (April 2010)

About

We're mainly looking for narratives of the surreal, absurd, ridiculous. More sentimental, reflective, or overly poetic pieces are not for us. We have enough emotional transom to reflect upon. Tell us what shitted out of your brain while you weren't paying attention after having eaten several rolls of sugar cookie dough. We want your incohesive. Your dreamlike, your ridiculous, bugged, scary, Lynchian, bizarre. We want to be upset not because we don't quite know what to do with your words even though you are speaking in plain english. Ever had something rejected under the premise that it too odd? We want to see it.
