Old Hag

“ That’s the old hag with charcoal hair,

Her skin’s a bluish grey

She sits above the fire escape

Every single day

She sings in some old language,

I couldn’t say the name

I'd be a liquid then, so thin, I might evaporate...

I've been marinating on a murder mystery play told through burlesque style performances. It's something Linda Belcher would love. Picture DOLL DUPRE kidnapped after her performance by an unknown culprit. She is close to only seven people, all with their negative, and dare I say SINFUL traits, and Detective Lacey La Verne must interview them to learn more about Doll, and her life in order...

Hell yes I fuxkin' love fantasy.

I've always been huuuuuuge of reading, and writing, but when I was younger I could never understand fantasy or wanting to write/read it, although I did understand its appeal. But now, here I stand, obsessed with most things fantasy, writing a big ass fantasy novel (50,000 words in the month of November), and constantly reading anything I can really...
