My name’s Leif, and here’s my story.
I was just your average run-of-the-mill philosophy grad, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the long and illustrious career that awaited me in fast food when, if you can even imagine this, Life decided such success was too much for the likes of me.
Before I could even think cogito ergo sum, I found myself banished to the Canadian North. There, among the black bears and horseflies, I developed a healthy aversion to going outside and a crippling interest in creative writing. Oh, and I learned Japanese by watching thousands of hours of anime girls playing video games.
Life, satisfied that I could not possibly be piledriven any further into the dirt, gave me a pat on the shoulder and thanked me for being such a good sport. I’ve been picking myself up ever since, honing my pen, word by word, waiting for the day Life comes back to finish the job.
