So my hand has still not fully healed from the pinched nerve that rendered two of my left fingers nigh useless. I've been stressing out wondering if I'll ever be able to play the piano the same way again and recently decided I should try not to think too hard about negative things. Recent events in the U.S. have left me more frightened than ever and, as I am want to do, I have turned inward and worked harder on a long-gestating horror story with the working title "The Barlowe Cipher." In lieu of a traditional blog post detailing the methods to my madness I'm simply going to post a couple rough draft chapters of my novel. I will read all comments, but don't inundate me with corrections; this is a first draft. I will edit everything you see multiple times. Enjoy.
