I still have some of these stories and...wow. Awful! I never stopped writing but my life would only allow it to be a hobby until I was around thirty. I submitted my first story to a competition and was given an honorable mention. That gave me the confidence to submit elsewhere, including The NoSleep Podcast.

Quotes by L.P. Hernandez (?)

“Sometimes it’s the pain that gets you out of bed in the morning. Sometimes it’s the pain, not love that makes you question your place in the Universe. You chose the pain to discover something about yourself.”
