Family emergency
In the ER with my oldest, he passed out at work. Hopefully it isn’t anything too serious.

Pretty Houses (Poetry)
Pretty Houses

Perfectly starched,
Spotless.

Flash Fiction
There is storm coming in from the sea, back skies, boiling waters, and howling wind…

Fun Fact
Butterflies will drink blood if given the chance :O
