The Deal (pt. 1)
They say that making a deal with the fae usually ends poorly for the human. I didn’t set out to make a deal with the fae and I’m not entirely sure when the deal happened. But I am reasonably sure that I ultimately ended up making a deal with the… Read more…

The Deal (pt. 2)

Movie Night
An old friend got in touch with me right smack in the middle of Daniel’s visit to install the solar panels, and at the same time, Franklin, David, and I had been discussing seeing the newest John Wick installation, Ballerina. Since my friend had been a regular to my Movie… Read more…
