Captain Pebbles. Top Story - August 2023.
I wait, I watch, I listen. Yes, I wait, I watch, I listen for my two shipmates, Pete, and Cindy. I am on high alert for any noise that resembles a key jiggle. I am after all the captain of the ship. This ship that sails on dry land around town. I will usually have my head out in the open-air checking and sniffing all points as we get to our destination. Sometimes I am watching for other captains. Sometimes I am trying to get away from the music that my shipmates play, “For God Sakes Cindy! There is music after 1989!”

She was a few week old little baby still needing special formula syringe fed. The flourished and although she lives inside with me playing all the days and bonding. She was released just outside my home and still comes to visit me and hang out. 🥰

The Embroiderer and the Entomologist . Top Story - August 2023.
How different yet similar two people can be. Two sides of a penny, heads, and tails. The Embroiderer sews life into material with a large needle, producing tapestries of great fiction. The Entomologist, pins death to a board with delicate spindles, producing specimens of the real world. One counts stitches, while the other meticulously counts legs and antenna. They are obsessive, artistic, and scientific.

I'm not afraid to be such a "tough" girl
It's not that I don't want to be spoiled, it's that I'm afraid of disappointment. It's not that I don't want to act cute, it's that I don't have a partner.

On top of your heart towards your left, there is a vein for feeling. That's responsible for fears and tears. She took a great breath, deep in. She had headphones on her ears humming some music.

Anecdote for years to come.
