Timber! – Ketchikan, Alaska – [09/08/2015]

Still Solitary – Ketchikan, Alaska – [09/03/2015]
Day 2… I was supposed to be released today I suspect, but my temperature spiked overnight (which I don’t know how much it really did, as it was 2am and I was obviously under the covers and the room was … Continue reading
Solitary Confinement – Juneau, Alaska – [09/03/2015]
Ever since I was a kid, if I get a fever, it’s high. Sky high. I remember being doused in ice baths as a child in an attempt to bring my temperatures down; although in reality there was no ice … Continue reading
Out Like A Lion – Seward, Alaska – [08/30/2015]
