What I Bought at The Market
Once every fifty-one years, they come to the edge of our sleepy little town. Ha. "Town". Barely more than a village, really, with stone cottages lining picturesque lanes. This is where Father Time goes on holiday. He slows down, takes his boots off, idles. Stretches.

Little Broken Things. Content Warning.
This one was always one to tend the little broken things, the discarded flotsam and jetsom. To see beauty in them, and swim forever in a sea of curiosity and inventiveness.

Wedding Day
Walking up the aisle, I wonder, like many women do, if I've made a horrible mistake. My dress is quite lovely. Tiny buds at the neckline. Ghostly leaves overlap down my torso, spreading to an autumnal swirl in the skirt. But it's not a good fit.

Market Day. Content Warning.
"Girl! Girl!" the Chickens squawked. "GIRRRRL!" the cows boomed. "What day is it, Girl!" shouted the Pig.

Amelia's Secret
I had suspicions soon after Amelia was born, but it was dangerous even to think such things. I explained them away rather than face them.

My Brand New Android
We've all done it. Haven't we? Daydreamed of a better life. A lottery win, marrying someone rich, becoming famous. A giant whisking us off to a castle to learn magic.

Do Androids Dream of Murder?
The woman is gorgeous; perfectly put together. Looking at her, you can believe someone made her in a computer. Since AI improved in leaps and bounds, and android manufacture improved exponentially, many people are relying on androids for all sorts of things. Including sex. It's less messy. Lower risk of pregnancy, disease, infidelity.

Quick and Cold. Top Story - February 2024.
I sat on the edge of the hard couch, the paper towel sticking to my bare bottom. The flimsy gown barely covered my nakedness. I bit my lip and fidgeted. The doctor's voice droned on. I caught words like "outpatient", "very quick", "routine", "after care". She pointed to her clipboard, going through the list of side effects and risks.

Feathers
The other day, I plucked another feather out of the back of my hand. The first time I flew, I was five. My older brothers were supposed to walk with me when we all got off the school bus, but they ran ahead, like always. Laughing, punching each other.

The _ost Office
The building looked invisible. No passers by went inside. Their eyes slid off it as if it wasn't really there at all. "Hello! Anybody there?"

The Hunt For a New Toy. Content Warning.
I stalked the detective through the dreamscape less and less. He got stronger, left hospital. Thinner, and prone to trembling, but still basically fine. He returned to work, and was put on desk duty.
