My dear friend published this! It's wonderful, and the opening is, shall we say, arresting.
My short story, “Bobbin Doffing,” is in the latest issue of the Adroit Journal!

Some older gentleman in the gym just now walked by and said “well, Bruce Springsteen’s ass is still kicking” and it’s unclear if he’s on the phone or if this is a pump-up mantra?

Writing is great because if someone tells you they hate your work, you know they hate it, if they don’t say anything, you assume they hate it, and if they tell you they liked it, you also assume they hate it.
