ASMR Reads: Original Short Story: Street Light

I used to write a lot when I was in middle school/high school. I haven't written a story for fun since I was maybe 16 or 17. I am a bit rusty, but with practice I'll be even better than I was before.Oh and I now have a mic cover for my mic now. I think the sound is much better than it was before, but of course it can still improve. It was gifted to me and I didn't realize how much of an improvement it would make until now.https://www.reddit.com/r/writingcriti...
