It was such an honor and a pleasure to work with the Split/Lip editorial team to get this short and very strange piece, “Dog Chasing Waves,” ready for publication in the January 2022 issue. I’m very proud of how this one turned out. The unusual format initially presents a barrier to the narrative flow, but then the story-sense takes over and acquires a power of its own, which still baffles me even though I wrote it.
