I had a friend difficult to reach. No social media. A phone he never answered.

I didn't know his real name so I couldn't look up his address. My sole string to him was email .

Wouldn't go as far as to say he liked email, but he used it. Never remember...

When I write I act a little too clever. Paint a version of myself that I want to project.

Then again if that is my facade what is the real me? Is there such a thing as real in this case?

Over the years I've knocked down many layers of facades to...

Funny in this world, with all this innovation and advancements of civilization , you still couldn't find somebody to string a few words together in a way that made the reader feel something. Often writers blame readers or social media , saying nobody's got the attention span anymore. And though...
