This is where I put my writing.
Random writings by me, John Long. Some argue a case and carry a bibliography: who verifies time, ground, voice, currency, a name. Some just tell what happened: a parade, a shirt, three rooms. I write them to get them out of my head, because unwritten, it is as if it never happened. No genre. No permission. One author.
