"I'd Like To Live on a Commune"

Now that I'm off the O-train and wrapping up the story on Dani this week, I can get back to a story that's been on the back burner for some time now. Writer Alex Zayas found this neat religious commune in Tampa -- and asked me if I'd like to explore it with her. It's more of an intentional community, of like-minded individuals living together. Part of their philosophy is to live the Bible, and aside from all of the mission trips they make during the summer, part of their belief system lies in living in urban neighborhoods. How could I say "no" to that?

Access is great, but I need to spend more time there. A lot more time. It's so rich with possibilities that I haven't capitalized on because I just haven't had the time yet, to devote to properly telling this story... to figuring out what this story is all about... and hopefully that will all change soon.

Anyways, meet Simeon. He's the youngest member of the house. And a total goofball. I liked him instantly.
