Jack Sparks | Copy Editor

Jack is a sick man… he is a spiteful man. No, he is not a pleasant man at all. He believes there is something wrong with his liver. However, he doesn’t know a damn thing about his liver; neither does he know whether there is anything really wrong with him. Memory mixed with desire… something lost. Some nights we danced, and the air was thick with things to come.
