Detours
So there you are in the middle of nowhere, windows rolled down and the radio starting to drain on the battery. And the wind, cold wind, hot–fast air, really, you can’t tell the temperature, but there you are, in the middle of nowhere. —To read more, check out the chapbook, available from Burnside Review […]
