Otis and the Rabbit
This story is about the birth of my son – the most joyful and terrifying day of my life so far. This story is also about the time I beat a rabbit to death with a shovel.
Kind Eyes
The story of the time I split a six-pack with a homeless guy behind a closed Hardee’s and something unexpected happened – even more unexpected than splitting a six-pack with a homeless guy behind a closed Hardee’s.
