  • 🍂🍁🍃 October Booklist 🔪💀🎃

    I haven’t posted here in a long time. A tragedy stopped my life in its tracks, to the point that, for the first time in my life, I stopped writing for a while. That’s another story for another day. For now, I think it’s time I started up with posting again. Autumn is falling and Continue reading

  • The One Who Never Will

    We didn’t know the little things. Favorite ice cream Favorite flower Favorite color But we knew the deep and the dark The thoughts we told no one else The things we were embarrassed about The things we kept deep down where no one could see We forgot to learn the things normal people learn about Continue reading

About Me

Hi! I’m Shadow. I hail from a short series of small towns on the east side of Pennsylvania, all less than an hour from Philly. I now live in Upstate New York with my cats: my lovebug, Misha, named after Misha Collins, and my tortie diva, Mina, named after herself.

I’ve been writing my entire life. I generally write flash fiction and poetry of varying genres. You can expect to find all of that and likely thought pieces as well as time goes on and I create more content. I won’t be posting with any kind of regularity but I do expect to post at least somewhat often.
