The gas station was no busier than usual. Mostly just travelers these days. After the new interstate opened and the airport turned international, my stop turned into a pass through than a local place where people buy drinks and the occasional chips.

Makes me question if this is what I'll do for the next thirty years. It’s not all bad though. Makes me excited to see who i’ll meet tomorrow.

Duke and Finnigan sat across from each other at the campfire, breathing light clouds of chilled breath. “We need to keep moving, the wolves will be patrolling soon”, Luke muttered while drinking warm water from his kettle. “I don’t know if I can get up Finny”. A howl echoed through the night. “You have to, I can’t make it to the generators by myself”.

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
