Some stories don’t end when the sentence does.
Writ & Rust is music and writing about consequence, confinement, accountability, and the hard work of becoming someone different.
Featured Song: “The Empty Chair”
I once would have heard motorcycles rolling through the valley, pulled on my old black jacket, and ridden toward the rally. Now I stay home. Not because I am still serving a sentence, and not because anyone has taken my freedom—but because my presence could make someone else spend the evening looking over their shoulder. “The Empty Chair” is about learning that paying my debt did not erase another person’s pain—and that sometimes the most meaningful apology is the space I choose not to occupy.
