Here, have a thing I wrote a week ago. It's vaguely based on a prompt from my creative writing textbook. Go go bad creative nonfiction. (Here on spring break and back in Ohio, the last one awake in this house, I'd give anything for the opposite of isolation right now. Sigh.)

Well, it appears I've been doing some writing lately, both in and out of class. Shocking, I know, but I am quite pleased. I'd like to put a few of the better pieces up somewhere, and I've got a few options, seeing as I have another journal here (limonchiik , which hasn't been used in a solid year and was created mostly for literary archiving).
