The short story collection that I published last year is being adapted for a play. Or rather, a series of short plays. These are set to run through the summer and will make an appearance for the playwright festival later in the fall.

For the most part I would agree, except for the confrontation with the wife’s lover part. It was meant to be funny, but came off as more heartbreaking than hilarious.

I remember when, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
