edit data

Donald has written stuff down. There are people who actually bought some of it, even after being told it was fiction.

I never really know what genre my nonsense fits into. This one starts out as a Slice of Life tale. But then, as in most of my stories, things go awry…which can be said of normal life as well. Give a listen by clicking below, and then tell me what you would call it.

Is is Slice of Life (gone awry)?

Is it Horror?

Experimental?
