      A lonely privileged kid and a street hustlin' hobo discover the value of friendship through their shared love of dancing.

      In Deferment

      My first narrative work post grad school

      Introduction

      Howdy, I'm Kadeef Sanders, the creator of General Jive. General Jive is an online alias I created as a teenager, and I love alliteration so I decided to use it as a name for all of my creative endeavors.
