Was trying to think of something for #MildHorror , but my wife beat me to it: The Ditch and the Metronome.

So excited and honored to have a copy of my first published story, White Mold. Thank you Spectrum Literary Magazine for the feature and being a delight to work with. The theme of this collection was "navigating the artistry in embracing failure".
