Venus Part 2
Chapter Two "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." -Socrates We headed outside to meet Vincent inside the bunker. To the onlooker, it looked like a large garden shed. Still no clue how our parents could have even afforded something that I once deemed useless. It was around lunchtime so the sun was high in the sky. I lit a cigarette on our walk towards the bunker. I hoped Estella didn’t mind but my nerves were fried. How many more COVID Zombies were out there? Was it just the few? Are more people walking up dead? I finished up my cigarette very quickly. Thank God I had a nicotine vape tucked away in my backpack.

Fishkeeping in the Desert. Top Story - November 2023.
Yellow light becomes absorbed underwater at around thirty-five feet deep, but the air is golden and alive. It shimmers around tanks and walls, like a mirage in the desert. Vast and rolling mounds of sand stretch far and wide, with exclusive spots of unattainable soil. I work in one such spot of richness. This artificial oasis draws in parched crowds, thirsting for connection, community, escape. Thirsting for water.

Sad forest
At the core of the Charmed Woods, where the old trees murmured stories have failed to remember enchantment and pitiful mysteries, they're carried on with a desolate animal named Elara. She was a fragile face, with wings like the petals of shriveled roses and eyes that mirrored the despairing of the timberland.

The Laurentian War, Chapter 1
Purchase The Laurentian War, here. Arlo had been stuffed into a suit and in the back of a limo as he arrived at his little apartment after work. A butler, sent by his benefactor – his cousin – no doubt, had his measurements down to the millimeter, so his annoyance wasn’t for lack of comfort, rather the extravagance of it all. It was a simple suit, but the gray sports jacket shone at the diamond studded cufflinks and glittered as the occasional glint of light caught the polyester and gold threaded tie. His shoes, made from an extinct animal he’d never heard of, squeaked as he slipped them on while the butler lightly guided them out of the apartment. The sleek, black limo met Arlo at the ground floor as he stumbled out, tying his shoes mid-hop and clasping the last loose button. The butler glided past him, coming to a rigid stop at the limo door.

ego death
When I opened my eyes, it was to colors and shapes surrounding me. I would love to give you a concise picture of what I saw, but there truly isn’t a way. Imagine the worst acid trip you’ve ever been on, now multiply that by infinite. I couldn’t tell what was up or down, if I was looking left or right. There was no space where the colors ended, and I began. The shapes of my eyes were the shapes of crabs were the color of storms. I tried to gauge something static, compact, but all I could see was the overwhelming connection.
