You Don't Belong Here: A Response to 'NaissanceE'

Far back in history, we built great machines. Boulevards, towers, and factories to pull humanity from the dirt and lift it to the stars. Gradually at first, but then faster and faster, accelerating to the point of whiplash. The body broke while progress continued onward. Always better, always further.

And this is the world you stand in now. A world built for you.

But one you do not belong in.

You're a Bad Liar: A Response to 'Dead Man's Letters'

“All preventable, all foreseen, yet perhaps all inevitable.”

Something different for me: I’ve written a piece musing on themes taken from the film ‘Dead Man’s Letters’. A 1986 Soviet post-apocalyptic drama directed by Konstantin Lopushansky.

We often look to children as beacons of innocence and, against our best interests, ignorance. Believing that they can’t possibly understand the world and have yet to learn their place in it. Are we wrong?

Once Organic Stone

Lining the walls hung the skulls of creatures long forgotten, their gaze meeting mine.

I recognized some, silhouettes that traced a line to memories of photographs that I marveled at as a child. Others could very well be other worldly in their origin, their shapes giving little hint to function or behaviour.
