I write. I write. And I write. Books, podcasts, films, short stories, poems, and more. Usually it’s sad, dark, and full of monsters.

Snowy is based off my dog Millie from a decade or so ago. Millie taught me how to love and be more self-aware. Whenever I see a post from my story concerning the dog, I just remember her.

The Greenland Diaries: Day 62

Even with all the supplies I was carrying, I managed to run the entire way home in the heat and pollen. Snowy was right next to me in a sustained gallop. She doesn’t sleep when she’s ha…

It is difficult to cut these sections into pieces when at such a pivotal moment. Hope you're enjoying your trip to the Cursed Island. Not a whole lot more left.

The Greenland Diaries: Day 61

Last night, I employed the same desensitizing strategy to avoid the sights and sounds of the old world. The Drum still boomed about the darkness, and my headphones didn’t do anything to stifl…

Battle in the city. It is as epic as you thought it might be. Still not that most brutal fight scene to this point. The confrontation with Haukter is looming. Thank you for reading my work.

The Greenland Diaries: Day 60

Last night, I wanted to go to them. The images stayed the same; warm streetlights, piano chords rising out of open windows, and the random car motoring down the blackness. They have to be tricks. I…
