Write that book.
Paint that picture.
Share that poem.

👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️• There is nothing to celebrate when millions of people are about to lose healthcare and snap benefits and when h*locaust-esque detention camps are being built with political figures joking about feeding immigrants to alligators. It is sickening to be an *merican.

Thrilled to be part of this Scary Stories inspired antho from @deathbytbrbooks.bsky.social !!!!

My story “Posts” is a little homage to “Harold” and for all those crazy kids who dress up to scare other crazy kids in Halloween mazes. Can’t wait for you to meet Old Jack.
