Venice, My Love
Venice, my love, I was naive when you first held me in your arms. I was born from you, and you watched me grow, you fed me, you kept me safe. And then I abandoned you and fell into the arms of the West. One of my greatest regrets is leaving you. I am seventy-two now, and I've come back to you.A story in multiple parts, this book follows Lorenzo as a seventeen year old growing up in Venice, an eighteen year old making the rough switch to America, and a seventy-two year old returning to Venice, the city who, despite the various romances along the way, will always be his first love.
The Metaphysicist (Kill Your Darlings) | Featured
My astonishment orchestrates a gasp in my lungs, glues a hand to my mouth as I stare surprised at the mess on the bedroom floor who still hasn't recovered, and through this all I can only shape one sentence that sums everything up pretty well, a sentence that pains me to say. "You're sick, Lucien."All my companion does is install a narrow tunnel into his eyes, a conviction like no other. "Isn't every writer?"All Allen Ginsberg needs is a library book on rhyme and meter, things he absolutely abhors for being so ever present yet things he requires for his blog article. What he finds is rather a young librarian and writer by the name of Lucien Carr, choking on cigarettes and booze and the glamorous life of deterioration -- and just like his writing, it's quite magnificent.~~Wattpad Featured Book 19 September, 2016~~

Leave No Trace (MCR Short Story)
It's all over now, and I can't help but wonder if that's for the benefit of your future, not having your psychotic brother in your life anymore to mess things up. I know what you're thinking right now, Mikey - apologizing to me when I can't even hear you, pleading a case that narrates your gratitude for me, but you're wrong in so many forms.Remember when you would ask me what I would like to be when I grew up, and I would reply happy? Well...it seems that dead has developed a new authority that counters my previous eudemonic statement, and, well, it has ultimately prevailed, seeing as you're no doubt shaking in my bedroom, standing next to my mutilated body and a dusty gun.Allow me the pleasure of frightening you, and do enjoy the petty funeral.~Gerard(MAY BE TRIGGERING)Spotify playlist link: https://open.spotify.com/user/nostrilartist/playlist/1azSc55Xn68R6JVWUCpZYF
