Bio
I am a recorded singer-songwriter and published poet, and I have also written articles for an online publication. While I have always had story ideas, putting them to paper is a recent venture that I hope will find an audience.

Opening Schrodinger's Box
There is a thought experiment in quantum physics where a cat inside a box has a 50% chance of being alive, and until you open that box to confirm his condition, the cat is, theoretically, both alive and dead. Schrodinger’s cat, as the imaginary feline is known, has his fate sealed only when you open the box. Similarly, a missing cat may theoretically be both alive and dead in your mind until he’s been found - even if he’s never found - and while finding him will seal that fate for better or for worse, it is only in opening that box that the weight of that question can be removed from your mind.

Book Value
Something brushes against my leg and my eyes dart open. A throbbing has resonated to my ears from the pounding in my chest and I’m afraid to move. I smell oil and dirty concrete, and through the hair across my face, I can see the undercarriage of a vehicle. Something...maybe a rock... is digging into my cheek, so I shift my jaw ever so slightly to ease the discomfort. I don’t know why I am sprawled on the ground next to a parked car, and I still don’t know what it was that brushed against me.
