Living in America as an immigrant at the end times, so of course I dabble heavily in Horror. CCO of Studio Metropolis, I love writing wholesome, sometimes a little macabre, cartoons & comics. Doing my best to spend my 10,000 hours wisely.

Crying Wolf Devon sat on the hillside with his head in his hands and wept until his body ached. He missed his mother. He wanted to leave and forget the rancher, the town, and especially the ranch.

The Lightkeeper’s Daughter It stood on the razor’s edge, surrounded by slick, jagged rocks and a tumultuous sea for almost two hundred and fifty years.
