Her County: Part 1
I have a story to tell you. On the dawn of the third day into my journey, I came out from a thicket of trees, finding myself at the very edge of a rugged and torn field. At first, I hadn’t realised it was tilled. The heavy, clumping balls of earthy dirt were indistinguishable from the jagged and sharp rocks that seemed to float atop the sprawling sea of muck. Patches were more stone than soil; black and grey sediments that crumples underfoot, yet scraped coarsely on my soles. I had lost my sandals the previous evening as I cross marshland. It never occurred to me to pack another in my satchel.

The Devil Called John Brown. Top Story - March 2025.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is written from the perspective of a Southerner character. I don't condone their viewpoint. Yes, I do feel like I have to clarify this; this is the Internet and irony is dead, apparently. Enjoy.

The One Good Thing About Trump
He’s honest. It sounds like the punchline to a joke, doesn’t it? Yes, he might be a manipulative, exploitive, opportunistic liar and conman who’s made a living off a reputation he didn’t build, only to flip-flop, backtracked, minimise, and pitifully excuse ever miniscule attempt at a cohesive character with even a shred of dignity he’s ever tried, but at least he’s honest about it!
