Robert Firpo-Cappiello

I did a new thing last night! I read my short story “What Are You Supposed to Be?” at the legendary Easy Paradise open mic at KGB Bar in the East Village.

📺 WATCH last night’s open mic at www.youtube.com/live/dyYHcYi.... Every act was phenomenal, and you can find me at 58:00.

As the plane taxis, picks up speed, leaves the ground, a voice says, “… and remember, young friends, unlike most breakfast cereals, delicious, nutritious Miracle Missiles are made with real cane sugar.”
