Microfiction out today in “101 Words.” This is my first published piece in over a decade, y’all. I don’t think I’ll ever truly get over the feeling of being a fraud when it comes to writing, but it’s nice every now and then to see some of my words on a page. #writersky #microfiction #101words

God, this is real.
[The things I might say to you if I were brave: that you illuminate a room like the sun after hard winter; that my heart stops when you say my name; a look into your eyes freezes time and when my breath comes it is in frantic desperate gasps? No. Perhaps just this...]
Climb me you dirty fuck-puffin.
