Oh, 2020. You were supposed to be lit—a year filled with holidays on the weekends and a pivot into a new decade. You done went and got petty on us with that “lit” part.

I’ve been trying to find the words. The right words. Then I realized there are none. I know the world is in dissaray right now, discord, and there is apparent division.

BLIZZARD
Night fell, and I could hear the snow hitting my window. I could hear the wind whistling boldly. I peaked through the blinds, and I could hardly see anything outside. I looked at the time, and it was just a little past eight in the evening. I knew for sure that I was in forContinue reading “BLIZZARD”
Queens V
