Greetings!
I'm so glad you've found your way to my little corner of the internet! This website is still very much a work in progress, and probably always will be, but my plan is for it to be a way to consolidate all of my writings, projects, and personal nonsense to a single centralized place so that if [insert platform here] goes tits-up, I don't lose everything I've ever done.

Rhiow had scolded them as only a cat can for what felt like an hour, almost like she knew what they had done and resented that they hadn’t taken her with (it wasn’t their fault Jean was allergic to cats). Once Linda had stopped laughing, she’d insisted on staying for a bit, just so she could run errands for them and they could hole up until everything blew over. As she’d pointed out, even a nine days’ wonder only lasted nine days, and they hadn’t made national headlines. Before long, the internet would move on to the next collective joke, obsession, or viral story. Melanie, having seen some of the memes going around, just hoped this wouldn’t be one that got reused for years to come and was allowed to die a merciful death. Continue
