Welcome to Storytime!

Welcome to Storytime. This is my personal collection of stories, essays, and articles, loosely inspired by Folklore.org. Please be advised that the content that you find here may offend sensitive individuals. The content hosted here may not necessarily reflect the opinions of my current or former employer(s).

Stories

While I'll try to maintain the privacy of the identities of the entities involved in stories, I can only do this on a best-effort basis. Also, while many of the anecdotes on here are mostly true (or "inspired by truth"), many of these stories are my personal recollections; as such, while reading, you should keep in mind that it would be impossible for me to recall every detail completely. Expect to find omissions, embellishments, and rearrangements of events.
