Roam

We are headed backward. Toward the lighthouses on the coast, and that backroom where all of us would gather and look at the pictures they cut out and tacked to the wall. To where the tallest buildings are mainly for administration and the misuse of drugs that make it easier to hold thoughts in your […]

Dysfunction

Horror movie VHS covers with girls pushing their breasts together and screaming. A neon sign that only half works points the way to the video games that are always up to date with the latest releases.
