Out of The Blue
There was a crushing weight against my chest. I’d felt it for so long that I only just noticed it was dissipating finally. It was a dark place; to begin with, you had thought it brightened. You were aware even way back then that there was no time to worry about anything else. All your…

Not agreeing with something does not make it a lie2. it does not matter when a doctor or a patient decides to have a medical procedure; it’s not…

On the subject of time
Hundreds of trillions of miles away from where we now hurtle through space at mind-blurring speeds, feeling alone and forsaken, some child may utter a terrible curse to the universe out of fear and spite; demanding an answer from something… Feeling responsible for answering a young AI* might look back through hundreds of years of…

First Breaths
I was awake. Long before the sky lightened. I had laid there. And watched this sliver of light through a window of the room play against the wall and where, for most of them evening. The strongest light available was the street light. It was explained to me that it was respectful to people in…

tchotch·ke or bric-à-brac
06/25/24 [UPDATED 08/01/24] I have had to access some deep stuff for school. Years I locked away as safe and in doing so I thought them in no need of further inspection. I took them out like fine porcelain and laid them out to admire and display, to show off the peak of my childhood…

Rules for Life in an plural zone -or- anyone subject to multiversal travel

what I know about love
It was explained rather poetically once as a child that the entire universe; every cell, atom, quark, and molecule was at one point in the same place. Love is the memory of being whole, of being one. This singular concepts defies literally every other principle of physics humans have every discovered since the realized that…

New look, same lack of taste
Life is complicated and messy. putting back together in any coherent enough to sense to make a narrative worth selling require time, quite a lot of therapy, and the sort of depression that used to me called dysthymia, now its just Persistent Depressive Disorder – as usual being remarkably accurate but unsexy. It is only…
