Japheth - PEWPEWHUZZAH

Japheth

Writer of dark-leaning fiction where the ordinary tilts uncanny — fueled by coffee, em dashes, and executive dysfunction. PEWPEWHUZZAH is my blog-shaped sandbox.

Storyteller, musicmaker, pixelpusher, emdasher, & ampersander — mispronounced since ’76. [ ˈjā-fəth ] is a sandbox my writing projects.
