I started writing a journal in my teens because the authors I was reading at the time told me to. They said it would help with what I had been through and where I wanted to go. I’ve written daily through the majority of my life.

Vichy Detroit – Common Ground on Fire
Thursday, Nov 14, 2024 – Vichy Detroit – He awoke with a start. He hadn’t been sleeping well for the past few weeks. It wasn’t the result of the elections, it was the series of arsons on the block weeks before. He hadn’t really been the same since the first fire. Jump-scared from a deep …
