My husband and I play in my writing room on my dad’s chessboard.

Battle lines defined,

we kiss over our armies,

one before dying

About the Creator

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction might have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈

MA English literature, College of Charleston
