David Heilker has been passionate about writing since he was eleven or twelve years old. He has recently found his voice in the form of fiction pieces set with a tone that leans dark.
He is a fan of Chuck Palahniuk and James BeauSeigneur, as well as others.
He has 3 novels in progress. One called “MATE or the Casanova Serial Murders” and the larger called “Quaid” (“Believer” was recently added)
MATE chronicles the story of a letch accused of killing the women he sleeps with and the media frenzy and sensationalism that follows.
Quaid is the name of the lead protagonist in a story about a grammar school aged boy and his invisible friend. The story alternates between 3rd person narration and reading like a child’s bedtime story …

To most ten year old boys, suicide is the rarest, if not most absurd thing they think about. Yet here I am, at the top of the tallest building, looking over the edge. The unfortunate truth is if I jump, I know I won't die. No, actually, I probably just wouldn't fall. I'd jump, and then I'd stand still in the sky. The moment I was deified, Earth became a satellite among so many others in a Miller-centric universe. In the eyes of everyone I encounter, I've created them, in my own image. If I ca...

one common background story, here it is: The government doesn't exist to rule the people, but to represent it. but what if the people who run the government - the very people you chose to represent you - suspended all of the most important rights that We the People have? The Bill of Rights has been eradicated. Assembly? forget it. Guns? no go. it's martial law - soldiers are quartered in your home, and cruel & unusual punishment are the order of the day. what kind of world would that be? 10 a...

The Janitor by David Heilker (ne Dave Rockstar) I have the key to your home, and I have killed thousands of people. Somehow, I’ve already begun to digress from the matter at hand, which is, Depression is a bitch. You know that old idea that a vampire can’t come into your home unless he’s invited. I don’t know how that got to be “vampires,” but it’s rooted in what I do. I let the monsters in. I’m a janitor Now let me qualify this. First, vampires can just come into your house without an invita...

okay - the shitty myspace forum (group) urbis has isn't enough - Vanilla is a lightweight forum that could be formatted for urbis brilliantly - and we NEED A PLACE FOR FOLLOW UP THAT IS MORE "OPEN" than our works - but moreover (and i know I'm going to catch flak for this) is: Poetry is such an overrated "art-form" - even when done exceptionally, it's difficult to justify publishing without an anthology or unless the author's already famous -- any chance we can bump it down? I think (imho) th...

One in the morning. I survey my fiancé’s lifeless body with mounting anxiety. Thoughts race through my mind as a fast-paced PowerPoint slideshow. Meeting Angie through a broker buddy of mine at a happy hour I threw for his office. The drinks that night. The shots. Sharing a cab. Going to her place. Adding the notch to my belt. Then, the inconceivable (at least for me): Calling back. Dating. Gifts. Fill-in-the-blank month anniversaries which meant nothing. Settling down. Getting a place, toge...

HAHA, good show. just outta curiousity, can you code html for submissions (you spelled that word wrong btw)...? because MAN would that make things easier. Dear Urbis: you need an effin Wysiwyg editor! Thanks! ~ Dave Rockstar justhalfempty.blogspot.com
This poem is definitely epic. It's tremendously involved, so if you want to make it prosey, inetersperse REAL PROSE (unlined, paragraphed) throughout. This will achieve a certain duality you have now. As far as getting this published, there is NO market for epic poetry outside of the classroom right now, and even less than that for modern epic poetry. Make sure to incorporate some concrete points into the poem... Why not let the poem be his schiz thoughts and the prose be his outside world, t...
really clever resolution - and the prose is expertly done - i don't QUITE know how i feel about the analogy drawn between the psych and the priest - because it seems to draw from a metaphor for the therapy/drugs -- and thats a corrolation more than a connection... well done though, and this is brilliantly prosed for your age.
i don't get what you're going for here - clarify in the reviewer notes.

I like this a lot - I enjoy the way you give the items history during the estate sale - it wasn't "cutting edge" per se, but it was well written and enjoyable. it can't end there though, omfg - I'll hunt you down and murder your pet walrus - because seriously - the BONES?!? ~ Dave Rockstar
