Millie
May 9, 2018 Her name is Millie. A tall, skinny and bold-eyed girl who wakes up every morning atop a cardboard box that lies horizontal with her on the curbside of a city street in the Edge district of St. Petersburg, Florida. Her skin is sun-kissed and dirty as each arm hair accompanies a little scab and her brown hair is long and split as if each end has been broken for years. Her clothes are always the same—a faded orange and ripped safety vest covering a bikini top suited for a child and an old pair of nursing scrub pants above an unlaced pair of red sneakers that were terrorized by a dog.

Red Row
“I mean, they weren’t hippies by any means, they just didn’t like a lot of stuff.” That’s how I began explaining my parents to my really nice, new friend, George. He asked me without knowing so I wasn’t angry for him inquiring—but it was hard revisiting my parents only a month after saying goodbye. So despite the heartbreak I felt in the moment when George asked, “Hey, what are your parents like?”, I attempted, but likely fell short, to explain them - how special they were - as best I could. They deserved it.

The Black Heart
It was the last natural harvest the world would ever see. Upscaled insider’s (“Upscalers”) would benefit from printed food while downscaled insider’s (“Downscalers”) would starve and disintegrate. People like me, deemed the outsiders of society, would imagine and contemplate and pray for the hope that was absent beyond the fence in what they called “The Heart”, a re-branded former Earth.
