for my a(muse)ment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798841406310)

once upon a time, a boy was born with thrills in his blood and rode every attraction in existence the summer he turned tall. once he completed his conquest he designed his own rides on torn graph paper and dreamt of one day crediting himself for such heart-dropping and gut-wrenching shrieks from around the world. and when such visions did not commence he set out to twist his wishes in any poetic and symbolic and figurative way possible...

then he met me. and it was (we were) the greatest show of all time.

trigger warnings for depression, health anxiety, and sexual themes.
