He Bleeds Red, White, and Blue … and Black (???)

So it's true. My husband is one of those closet writers that peeks his head out every once in a while. He's actually a very good writer (okay, so I'm kind of biased), which is actually quite annoying. He whips stuff up in moments and it's good! While I, on the other...
