Nice

and other things I'll no longer be

photographic documentation of the author breaking out of his shell

I've written sixty-nine, in total, of these —

Vocal "stories," original, designed to please —

but I'll never reach the inner circle.

I'm this platform's own Urkel,

or its loathsome, starving Ornitholestes*.

*A small species of egg-thieving theropod from the late Jurassic. See here for more. :D

About the Creator

Jacob Sherman

The desire to read, and perhaps to write, should be cultivated and nurtured with care throughout every stage of life. For my part I will inject what strangeness and truth that I can into our written history. Expect no constants but honesty.
