WORD: “I Am the Zebra"

Resurrecting ye olde blog due to inspiration from my nephew, the rising and brilliant Josef Kuhn.

HERE you can listen to a short story that he has written and reads aloud entitled "I Am the Zebra."

It captures the angst and drama of a 21st century twenty-something: hilarious, but with a heart-stirring, lovely, poignant ending.

Any modern-music lover will also appreciate the music references spliced throughout.

So, sit back, grab some coffee, settle in, and treat yourself to an enjoyable 25 minutes and 30 seconds.
