My second published story, “In the Mango Grove”. It’s got sacred prostitution, the death of a sage, & is my dad’s favorite thing I’ve written.

My first published story. Check it out if you’re into existential dread or identity-erasing sex.
I wrote it when I was 21, nothing but a young man w/ a very depressing dream
