It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

October 21, 2020 By Epiphany Ferrell

Ah, Halloween, my favorite holiday. It comes in autumn, a season meant for melancholy, for pensiveness, a time of year when you can believe the veil between the worlds is thin. The nights are cold in most of this country in October, with clear skies sprinkled with so many stars, you’ve never noticed before how […]

The Best Horse in the World

July 18, 2020 By Epiphany Ferrell

Write the Story

February 23, 2020 By Epiphany Ferrell

Once upon a time, when I was in about second grade, my almost-best-friend borrowed a record from her older brother’s room and I heard David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” for the first time. In the song, Major Tom, an astronaut, leaves his space capsule, which then takes off for Earth without him, stranding him in space. […]

Just Be

October 23, 2019 By Epiphany Ferrell

It’s busy inside my head. At any given time, I’m thinking about at least three different things: deadlines to meet, snippets of stories that I’ve read or am trying to write, work projects, grocery lists, communication that has or needs to happen, all of it often overlaid with a soundtrack of mashed-up sections of songs […]
