Would you want to know whether you will get Alzheimer’s in 15 years?
Alzheimer’s scares me. I think it should scare everyone. Our memories ground us into a reality (regardless of how we have constructed it). Yet Alzheimer’s is a disease that makes us unrecognizable to ourselves and robs us of our memories and corresponding stability. Alzheimer’s is the result […]
Home mystery: A most bizarre hole in the blinds
The past year or so I have taken to writing some flash fiction pieces. I love looking at a photograph and coming up with a backstory and a future space in which it lives and breathes. I like it also because it allows me to cut back […]
Everyday life seems to be a Rorschach test

I can mash potatoes
I came home to do a myriad of errands, chores, and smores. Actually, no smores. I wish. That would be fun and a random thing to do at 7pm on a work night. I barely have any food at the house, let alone ingredients to makes smores. I […]
