Please place the mask over your own mouth and nose before assisting others.”Reciting the script in my head as it spins—the air is thin—I do as it says.You do not move. You weep and say nothing, but your face asks, how couldContinue reading “Prose(ish): ‘I Am A Villain’”

If you ever get the chance, talking toContinue reading “WEEK ONE: Vengeful Swifties and Mormon Murders”
