See, this is why I should be more patient about calculating my stats for the year.  Add 2 more new poems to the count! 

The Broken City just put out its video game themed issue, which includes my poems “Five Date Nights at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex” and “Through the Screen (A Warped Abecedarian).” 

FNAF stands for Five Nights at Freddy’s, for anyone who’s wondering.  It should come as no shock that I enjoy arcade settings, and I really liked the sprawling location featured in FNAF: Security Breach and thus wrote a poem set there. 

The other poem, my first abecedarian (a reverse one!), continues the celebration of digital environments and considers what it would be like to truly enter a game world.  I had fun namedropping movies, shows, and such built around this trope.  It’s captivated me since childhood. 

Happy New Year, all!
