Bryce Varden

Everything

My name is Bryce Varden. I say it slowly, even when I’m not speaking it out loud. There’s a shape to the sound that feels important to get right, like saying it too quickly might cause something to slip past unnoticed. When I hear it spoken by other people, it doesn’t echo the way I expect it to. The sound arrives and stops, like it hits a surface instead of continuing through the air.
