• Low Fidelity

  Dia dhuit! Whenever I’m traveling with my family I try to find a local record store, preferably a mom and pop establishment, and I’ll drop in and see what they have. I’m not a serous collector by any means, I don’t care what pressing it is, I simply want to reclaim a physical copy of…

• Dart Etiquette – Ch. 4

  The floorboards creaked beneath heavy feet, above me someone was walking around the house. Who was upstairs? I knew who it wasn’t. I thought maybe it was the ghost again. I had heard one once. It was obviously not my mother, highly doubtful, she would never have returned home, she had been gone too long…
