Short Stories
I’m glad you’re here to explore my short stories! I tend to spend my time exploring the human condition in the context of the unsettling and upsetting. Think befriending 30-foot-tall monsters and pet stores burning down. I aim to share 1-2 short stories a month on here and will keep you updated when my work is published elsewhere!
“I Went So Far in the Woods That God Could Not Find Me”
June 16th, 2026
“I went so far in the woods that God could not find me. Not even the moon shone above. Just the pitch black of the forest, the trees standing like the legs of giants.”

“If you do not know what the world is like, why would you suppose the edges of your enclosure are not the very limit of all there is to know?”
“I Came Out of the Womb Singing“
Originally published Spring 2025 in Collage Magazine
“But the suffering was here, knocking at my door — rising out of my throat like the smoke of a dragon and clouding the vision of my stinging eyes.”
