Quotes by Joely Black (?)

“They built their own lesser cities, tumbling into cemeteries and ruins, rising on the walls of elderly, long-forgotten settlements. Cities of corrugated metal sheets, cheap wood and rotting blankets, the remains of the world for the remains of the people.”
― Joely Black, Wasps

Hey! I don't have my own website any more. I have been lazy and not updated, but I do still own all the domains for it. If you were looking for my stuff, I'm on Medium, and there's a bunch of short stories there: https://medium.com/@TheCharmQuark
