When the Dragons Returned
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. At least, not for the last two millennia. However, when they returned, no one was surprised that they came to me first. You see, it’s what I was born for. To finally make peace with the dragons, to defend them from those who misunderstood their intentions. And most importantly, to work together to restore the earth to its original majesty.

The Joy of Breathing
Every day, for hours at a time, I struggle to breathe, and ultimately, keep myself alive. I use my years as a former Acute Care nurse to evaluate my symptoms, determine whether or not I'm stable enough to treat myself at home, or whether I need to call yet another ambulance to take me to the ED. I live my life in 10/10 pain from constant muscle contractions. I administer an Epipen when the muscles in my diaphragm and neck clamp down and I stop breathing...and then I go on with my life.
