About

    Zachariah is a writer from the Pacific Northwest who enjoys telling stories with his friends, and thinking about how things work. When not trading his time for money, he can be found at various cafes around town. He's also proud member of the National Writers Union, by way of the Freelance Solidarity Project.


As of 2024, there is also now a somewhat official schedule of events for Roll for Writing, that covers special months as well.


After April 2024, and after my May hiatus, new pieces will be released twice a month to better accommodate my life.

Octobers will be reserved for that years mini-series, usually showcasing events from the Plague of '30, set in Port Astor during that dark, deadly event.

Marchs will be set aside for Guest Writers, provided that I have enough pieces and interest to do so!

Aprils are the birthday month for Roll For Writing, which I will use to release special projects, or share anything that I made especially for the occasion!

Lastly, I will be taking Mays off, as I need some down time every now and then, and why not May?

[Guest Writer] Gemini by Brian Rydquist

Editor's Note: This is a content warning for those sensitive to certain topics; self-harm, child loss, graphic descriptions of violence.            Sylvia bent over the lifeless bodies of the newborn infants she had just spent six hellish hours delivering. Screams of anguish poured from her diaphragm, blood soaked her nightgown from the waist down. Her husband William knelt beside her, stroking her shoulder in a futile attempt at comfort. The midwife, an elderly Inuit woman, knelt on her otherside. “Please miss,  you must lay down. Your body has suffered incredible stress, the birth was not a good one.” “My babies, my babies, this can’t be!” Sylvia shrieked, deaf to the woman’s words. “Shh, shh,” William was muttering as he rubbed her shoulders. “Maybe it won’t be, I have already sent for the spirit leader of my tribe. He should arrive any moment.” “Don’t be a fool! How dare you give my wife this false hope! You can clearly see the babie...

[GUEST WRITER] Sandstone Legs, By Charlena Kea

I'm thinking of cold blood and cracked skulls sunberry stains on my right forearm your cattle line the streets there still waiting for my passage by school explosion on the drive home half legs around the bomb stove fire just a cluster of red dots to all of them I hope one day they'll see pawns and prey and bugs alike maybe it's all we'll ever be I'm just the same as you, though soft heart but iron bones incense smoke lures me closer I'm scraped pure on sandy stones deafening when I see them hanging these hollow iron shells they let your kin bleed out there damned the rest to living hell I'll wade through murky river depths please wash my red hands clean I'm desperate, I beg you every night erase these things we've seen my likeness sells postcards on the road...
