From time to time, other obligations permitting, I enjoy writing.
There is a mixture of poetry and short stories. They're all short and usually at least slightly odd, but not in an explicit way. It's possible that you'll find them disturbing anyway. Note: I write short *short* stories. None of them is over two pages long, and many aren't even one.

Enjoy, but don't say I didn't warn you...
