I hope this isn't considered spamming, but . . .
I fancy myself a writer and wrote my Chiari story on a writing website. Please go there and read it (and my other stories). I get paid by the site; The more people that read my work, the more money I get. It doesn't cost you anything and it helps support me - a Chiarian that can't do his regular job anymore . .at least for a while. It's short, maybe a 5 minute read.

And if you enjoy Escapist Fantasy and/or Speculative Fiction, try these (they should be read in order. The first 2 are pretty short, but the 3rd is kinda long):

And, as they are works in progress, feel free to critique - just be nice about it please, my poor emotions can't handle being bashed :)
