True Heroes Are like Shadows, Both Light & Dark, Good & Bad

Part V of Conflict, War, and Mortality I think when we write fantasy, sci fi, lit fiction … any fiction, when we join our own “what ifs” to the ink in our pens and spread a part of ourselves across each page, we invest our characters with everything that experience has taught us, everything that...
