Disturbing in all the best ways! Besides, there is beauty in the order of routine…

Just as I am rewatching Dexter. 😈 Last night I finished The Butcher and the Wren, written by Alaina Urquart, one of the hosts of my favorite true crime pod, Morbid. I'm soaking in it! 🩸

I say we need a Spooky Season at least twice per year to nurture our inner dragons, especially with a lot of the excessive angst swirling around in the world. More, please. 🔪🔪

Ooooooo! You are on fire! This is an incredible piece. Love the rhythm you created in those first lines. "Every. Single. Time."
