Rye Blood by Dasha Maiorovahttps://dashamaiorova.com/2020/07/05/ryeblood/?fbclid=IwAR0F0BzaYq1DL_BuXy6Ffh0An2qVNNG–jRWB_udF2riZuZGW93O9F3buEc I am ridiculously proud of this moment. I present to you a short story written by a dear friend and captive writer that I have trapped in my orbit, Dash M. Her writing is bleak and cold and sharp and in many ways the opposite of mine.

Ash
My artist friends often do “draw me in your style” pieces where they take a piece by an admired artist and reimagine it.
