![]() Author has written 125 stories for Fantasy, Humor, Life, Humor, Fantasy, Friendship, General, Action, and Sci-Fi. I write whatever strange tales enter my head. Sometimes it's a drawn out story, other times it's a short tale and occasionally its a mad poem. I must go where my slightly concussed muse takes me. One day it'll get a collar and a GPS tag. Most of my output will be short stories or poems, but occasionally should I have the inclination, something longer may be created. Out of imitation MDF. Some of the less aimless of my stories can be found on FanFiction.net For those interested, very bored or with too much time on their hands, here is a bit about me. Some of it may be true.
