Fiction
Some Plastic City Beyond
There’s a story I wrote up at The Drum Literary Magazine called “Some Plastic City Beyond” (April 2016). It’s an all-audio magazine, so you just listen to it. Runs about 11-12 minutes long. Here’s what they said:

First There’ll Be Fire, Then There’ll Be Water
Short story published in the Curbside Splendor Publishing E-Zine, Jan. 1, 2014.
