“You should come here now,
sneak through the ink of nightfall
and fall into bed.”

I love writing, and I think I’m fairly decent at it. The funny thing is, in an alternate reality, I may have seriously considered pursuing a career in journalism. Here’s a little known fact: in eighth grade, I applied to be in the newspaper/yearbook class at my high school. I did not get in. I…
