How to Care for Syrian Hamsters
Also known as “teddy bear,” “short hair,” “golden,” or simply “fancy” hamsters, Syrians are perhaps the most popular pocket pet in the United States.

The Aeon Event, Part 1
I remember her. I remember those days. I remember it all. Not with a fondness, exactly—not with any clarity, either. None of my memories are clear. They’re all a shimmer with lurid sheens and unnamable colors that only parrots can see. They’re all that craving for physical sensation, that need, hunger—never sated. Never touched.

Chiaroscuro
there's an orange sunset seeping into the horizon. a horizon you see every day. lined with sycamores, with weeping willows, with sturdy oaks and fraying shrubs. squirrels scold. goldfinches trill. a snake flits past your feet. it's black, sides striped highway yellow, eyes wide and puppy-like. too fast to see in any detail: a blur of lines. a flock of raucous white-specked starlings has taken roost in the oak that hangs over your roof, and show no signs of moving on.
