Jon Emm

I have recently transplanted to Chicago. I spend my time writing screenplays, but sometimes fall into the pages of the short story and poetry. It all feels like home.

My Posse
My Posse It was 10am as we drove down Dark Woods Lane, Leonard’s street, on our way to the batting cages. Arlo and I knew when we poured Leonard out of the truck at 3am that he would be dog-housed and would not be joining us for our Sunday bat around. He had 2-year-old girls, twins, for crying out loud. There would be a price to pay. We just wanted to bust his balls if we saw him in the yard.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
