The Calm
I want to share with you a short story I wrote called The Calm. It’s a disturbing and candid story about abuse, ignorance, acceptance, and much much more.

An Unfinished (Unedited) Short Story: The Wake
I know this is probably not such a good thing to do. You would think that I would edit this first before posting it, but honestly it was not meant to ever be seen. Besides I kind of like the rawness of it. This story actually was the basis for my novel The House of […]
