My Patreon short-short-short story ‘Drama.’
Sorry. In the throes of artistic creation.
While in the shower this morning I decided to completely toss aside the idea I had for this one short story and write an entirely different one instead. Because I can write it, easily. It’s actually flowing pretty well…
