Ex-tenant in cuffs, accused of lighting up the underground garage.
100+ apartments gutted, asbestos in the dust.
Looks like I walked out just before the apocalypse moved in.

Got a pneumococcum jab (anti-pneumonia) yesterday. I expected to be under the weather but all I have is a sore shoulder. I'd planned a lazy day, reading and doing nothing! Will chill out anyway

A little story of mine (I have 15 out in 2025)
Just started working my way through stories from fellow authors in "What Lurks: A Cryptid Anthology" geni.us/whatlurks
Gio Clairval's @gioclair.bsky.social is a banger. Story of runaway teenagers who get trapped in an eerie tunnel, told in the style of found footage and police records. Amazing.
