Welcome

My emotional thicket

If you've made it here, WELCOME! This is the new home of some of my flash fiction and reflective blog posts. I'm honored that you've cleared enough of your emotional thicket to make it this far. Perhaps the vines of the pieces below will grow and sprout in your mind or maybe lend a hand with a sharp machete. Regardless, I welcome you. This is my home.
