Recall the Deeds as if They're All Someone Else's Atrocious Story

It Wasn't Me; I Wasn't There!

Philip Ashton

It could have stayed as a petty and unremarkable family squabble, but it turned out to be the precursor to something far more horrible and interesting.

About the Author

Philip Ashton

Hello there, potential customer/reader. I'm Philip.

When I was younger, I was a voracious reader, sometimes devouring a book in two days flat. These days, that's a rare feat for me. Most of the time, I'm doing something other than reading or writing, but I still write regularly (blog posts and short stories, anthologies of the highlights I intend to publish here).
