“Rorschach” smells like licorice, while “Flight to Nowhere” smells like ozone.
3. What did you intend your audience to feel when reading your pieces?
For “Rorschach” it was an ever-downward spiral into madness. For “Flight to Nowhere” it was the best dream of flying you’ve ever had.

That early morning light when all is quiet before the world begins to wake up.
