  • A time out sounds like a grand luxury after knowing Zoë has been wandering the stillness without me. Why haven't I picked up the yoke so she could rest a while on this splintered trip? A slip of the tongue and I'm right back on that bottom rung. I've struggled to breathe in this thin…

  • In the time it took for the blood to soak through the yellow V-neck, Micah was able to enjoy a satisfying drag off a Camel.
