A veteran, artist, and writer going to school for engineering. Yes, ladies, I am married. I live in a small town in Florida. Unfortunately, I have not written much these many years, and have read even less. I have seen many excellent writers on Protagonize, so I couldn't resist. I had no previous account with ficlets or have none with ficly.
