I am not a city girl
I’m not a city girl. A city is where a nurse abducted me the day I was born. Ironically, I spent the last 14 years as a critical care nurse. The city is also where I was molested at the age of 4 and where I had a gun pointed to my face at the…

Depths, and all things Honduran

Girl, what do you see in him anyway?
This past Saturday I went to an orchard with some friends. I thought we would be doing a flashlight corn maze, which I was super excited about. The thought of doing a corn maze reminded me of every horror movie and the people of the corn. While I didn’t want anything completely terrible to happen,…
