First Blood, by Kyle Seibel
"Did I fall in love with her? I did. As much as that was worth back then. Not much I don’t think... That summer I had so much love that it drove the price to historic lows."

I had the privilege of seeing this short film based on my story in a packed theater last night. Hopefully it won't be the last time I experience something like this but I'll be riding that high for at least a few days. The jokes were landing, people seemed really into it. I was blown away. So cool.

Technical-style drawing with an isometric view of industrial buildings on a square plot of land, surrounded by a crevasse on all sides, enmeshed with tree roots. A wonky forest with striped antelopes forms a desolate stronghold around the complex.

Great recap of two exceptional hangs! It was an honor to read with Kyle, Mike, and Adam in Dallas. And I’m humbled that Kyle called the excerpt I read “Barry Hannah writing a Choose Your Own Adventure” (hey man, sometimes you gotta write what you want to read)
