It's damn good. JD's one hell of a writer.
For the afternoon crowd: @jdclappwrites 's crafted a story in the vein of Cormac McCarthy & Denis Johnson, a borderlands story of moral reckoning & quiet tragedy. Told through the eyes of a man who discovers that the hardest wounds to heal aren’t the visible ones. It's that good

If it feels like I’ve been everywhere lately… you’re not wrong. Saints of the Asphalt is out running its fast break, “Burn” is in On Fire and Under Water, & tomorrow I’m back with a new story in Literary Garage. I’ll go quiet soon. Probably. Maybe.

The Gods and Heroes feature returns Monday (10/20). Stories every day till 10/24, then again the next week, because one more week of divine drama just isn’t enough. Ends 10/31. Got a story with a god complex? A hero on a coffee break? We’re still open for one or two more. ⚡️⚡️
