Greetings fellow writers and bloggers. I haven’t participated in Fandango's Flashback challenge for a while, so please enjoy my angst filled ramblings from December 4, 2018.

Yesterday, Pure Haiku posted another one of my pieces. It may be (a bit?) dark, but I'm (a bit!) happy and proud. It's a great site if you dig haiku as much as I do! So check them (and my little piece) out by clicking here: Pure Haiku
