by Sean DeLauder

About the author

This author has held several positions in recent years, including Content Writer, Grant Writer, Obituary Clerk, and Staff Writer, and is under the false impression that these experiences have added to his character since they have not contributed much to his finances. He was awarded a BFA in Creative Writing and Journalism and a BA in Technical Communication by Bowling Green State University because they are giving and eager to make friends. He has a few scattered publications with several conveniently defunct magazines (but refuses credit for their extinction), and resides in the drab, northeastern region of Ohio because it makes everything else seem fascinating, exotic, and beautiful.

He is currently at work on a trilogy involving heroes, dirt, and monsters that cannot be defeated, only escaped.

[CristoC · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short evocative, moody story about a little fucker getting what he deserves. Root for the dark indeed.
