Bio
I've always found a voice in writing, though much of it seems to be nonsense; never struggling to write short stories, satirical columns, and research papers, these things come naturally. Sometimes, my absurdity shines a little too much.

An Everyday Focus
I recognize that yellow beam piercing my line of sight. Am I too far away to recognize my glory from here? Seems to me I should respect it’s authority, at least for now. I’ll get by the next one. I start trembling, subtly, like I can’t control it even though I do. I keep that pressure applied until everything just stops, right where I am supposed to be. I peer to my right and witness perhaps that most mundane atrocity someone could commit, one that almost always results in nothing happening. Sometimes though, there is a fatal outcome, one that can easily be avoided if everyone just had more patience, if only for this moment.

Memories of the Encounter
Dangling from his wrist, the heart shaped locket was the last remaining artifact he had of his daughters. Both a memento and a trophy, the locket held his only physical memory of the former world; a life before they came. Although his daughter was gone, Eddie was now the guardian of his granddaughter, Ellie. Born only 8 months before the encounters, Ellie has no memories of her mother or the old life, just stories Grandpa Eddie tells.
