What if the Irish Had Survived?
I wrote this after some study, some research, some pondering. My idea was something like Churchill's What if the South had Lost, but without the racism he was known for. Growing up, I was a huge fan of Harry Turtledove and other masters of alternative history. It is…

Time?
Do you need time? Do I need time? I think I’ve had too much of it, and never enough. Time has been both a healer and a thief—steady in its rhythm, merciless in its pace. It’s given me the space to grow, to mend, to write, but it’s also taken people, places, and versions of myself I can’t get back.
