Man, this one will be awkward, knocking down that fourth wall for a minute. I thought you should know that I am in love with you, reader, but don’t take that personally. I am asexual, polyromantic, panromantic, demiromantic. That means I fall in love with people all the time, any time I feel a deep […]
I wouldn’t trade a single day we had together. Folding up your clothes, placing them in cardboard boxes, tears well up in my eyes. It’s just me in a small room on the first floor of the nursing home. I’m waiting for someone to say something incredibly stupid, how I can move on with my […]
For A to Z this year, I’m going to be posting love stories, but not just ANY kind of love story. These will be about everything EXCEPT what we (in my opinion all too often) think of as “love stories”: straight, heteronormative boy-girl together forever love stories. Nothing wrong with that! But I want to […]
It’s May 6th, the last day to reflect back on the 2021 April A-Z Challenge, and what a month that was! There was a rainbow of myth and spirituality blogs and I have to admit those are my personal favorite, because spirituality is my jam. I have always been a sucker for the mythology and […]
The day is bittersweet for Lesha as she stands by the Harlem River near dawn, near the old navy yards. Today’s the day she gets to return “home,” to leave the city which has been her home away from home for many long, almost-human years. By this time, she’s more than “earned her wings.” She’s […]
Click the floating frog to join. The earth has gone quiet and still. The last ambulance siren screamed goodbye over a day ago. It doesn’t matter. The latest news announcement grimly doubted that any of us will survive for long. We sit on plastic lawn chairs, sharing a bottle of tequila. “You always said you […]
“What’s in that box?” Schrodinger’s wife Anna asked him one day. “It smells like something died in there.” “It’s an experiment, Anna. You wouldn’t understand.” Maybe not, but the only thing a man likes more than telling a woman she’s wrong is proving how right he is. Sure enough, he continued talking. “There’s this guy […]
“We really need to find some other place to meet,” Susan says, sniffing distastefully at the air. “But this is the place the Goddess revealed to us in a vision.” Meghan says. “She might not have meant this swamp – or any swamp. It could all be symbolic.” “For crying out loud,” Xavier says. “Let’s […]
Excerpts from a public notice board in the not-so-distant future. Down with undead monsters!!! Ever since the rise of Resurrection Technology, the world has run amok with undead “pets.” Skeletal and zombie predators represent a serious danger to our ecosystem. They must be stopped! Resurrection Technology for all! Skeletons don’t kill people. Bad skeleton trainers […]
It’s against the rules. I’m only here to observe. But, I have to. Running over, I grab the reins and tie them to the edge of the post just in time for the reluctant law officer to jump on the horse and…. He doesn’t really want to chase down the person he’s been tasked to […]
