Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Incredibly proud to have my poem, “22 people,” appear in Dreams and Nightmares, Issue 128. It’s my first appearance in this outstanding — and kinda legendary — publication. As expected, this issue is full of excellent, though-provoking content.

It’s 1:30 p.m., when Wesley decides he’s going to take a break from being antisocial and come looking for attention. He knows I’ll comply.
