Once again, FensePost has become dormant. I get it in my head that posts need to be long and detailed and overly complicated with wise words and complex thoughts. Thus, months go by without a post. This has been an ongoing thing for the better part of a decade now. So, today I’m just going…

Formative, Chapter 1: Death Cab For Cutie
