Everything we need to say can be summed up in 30 words. Our time here ranges from six months to five years, with work ranging from music reviews to feature writing. Although our experiences could amount to a novel of inch counts, we believe what needs to be said can be done in less. Every word matters.

A thrill it is to chase stories and live in snippets of others’ lives.
Sometimes, I’ve forgotten to live mine.

But a dog-eared chapter to remember, one happy, lively time.
