About
I come from a land of sand and sea and Seminoles. Of Spanish moss draped across canopied roads. Of sweet tea and cornbread and y’all and yes ma’am and no sir. Well, and also the land of trucker hats, mullets, Skoal rings in back pockets, and barefoot grubby children.
“… but you’ll never fit in, not in your heart, because you’re irrevocably different from those girls. You’re a strange, dark Gypsy girl. No one knows you, and no one ever will.”
Gloria, by Keith Maillard
