About the Author
My name is Ashley. I write because I want to understand the human experience. What makes us tick, and why we do the things we do.
I write stories about tragedy, anxiety and horror, poetry about loss and longing, and I take photos of the wonderful things that inspire me. If I create a single honest piece of art in my life, I will consider myself a success. Sometimes I just want to make jokes about cans of spam, though. So there's also that.
* Yes, I'm the guy in the photos.
