His mother has told many people about the fantasy and science fiction stories he'd write on scraps of paper, and staple together as his 'books', before he'd attended his first day of formal education.
He has spent many late nights at diners and dives, drinking coffee with a tattered notebook to put a voice to his feelings of himself and the world around him, and other worlds that can exist only in fiction. The voices in his head don't ever stop talking to him, and so sooner or later he has to get out onto a page all that they've filled him up with.

Hello fellow Americans! My name is Glenn, and I own a company called Taylor, Levi, and Associates. It's an employee benefits brokerage in Maryland.

As I became more familiar with the contents of the law, I realized how harmful some of the effects would be, and I had a change of heart. ObamaCare is more destructive to our incomes than is being reported to the public and, if you knew what I know, you would do what you could to get it changed for the better.
