Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Comin’ Down the Mountain
In my life I've had a few close calls with broken bones, but it was an accident on the rain-slicked California coast which had me in my first cast. While on a weekend camp out with the Boy Scouts to the beautiful Limekiln State Park in Big Sur, myself and two other...
A Little Prick (Runner Concept)
Some runners take a job for financial reasons—heck, most of them do—but sometimes, a job it’s so close to home there’s no way they could turn it down. Mercenaries are loyal to the end of their paycheck, idealists to the glory of their cause. Zealots however, they...
