Did you ever get a song stuck in your head? What about a place? Or a moment in time? Kicking off the second half of our recent “Blanked” show, Tobias Carroll contemplates the quirks of the mind in “Ambient Spaces.” Read for us here by Alex Rubin.
We’re excited to share that “Ambient Spaces” was accepted for publication by Funhouse in the UK. Go Tobias!

Moving from a repeated memory to a lack of one, Alex Rubin explores a relatable “blanking” moment – being trapped in a social situation with someone you can’t quite place. Switching it up, Tobias Carroll reads: “Symbolism at the Snack Table.”
