Musings on Universe 1.0

God watches over mortal fools; I really do. Over everything, actually, including the robbery of the corner drugstore. The old bag lady in the dark neighboring alley saw this occur and did nothing. “Overzealous, am I?” I query as I debate with myself about the bag lady and the robbers, and their chances of a bright and pleasant afterlife. “But I handed them a single ruleset.” Each and every situation was covered. Deuteronomy even lists the things I dislike down to the pettiest of annoyances—Moses was a great scribe and mouthpiece, back when I directly governed a tribe. Still, I said I would show mercy; I promised

We're Not Alone

The baryonyx Charia’nyx sat in a chair in front of a data readout from a radio telescope. Her computer beeped. New data. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “Look at this blip.” “That’s not ordinary radio waves.” “Right. They’re too condensed and much too high-power.” “Where’d you get this blip?” Charia’nyx looked at her left screen. “The computer says it was in the direction of the Palm Tree. Maybe originating in the Troodon sector.” Her supervisor, Apana’don, tapped her lower lip with her short claws, thinking. “Contact SEDI.̶

Infernal Crazy Cake

Ahem. WELCOME TO MY CLASS. Yes, yes, for those of you newly departed that were lucky enough to get in here, I have the hooves, and the tail, and all that. No, my skin is not red. It’s more the color of dead hopes, a sort of purple, if you will. I’ll just go through the paperwork I had to fill out with the Man Upstairs, and then we can begin. Very well, all of you signed in the right places—oh dear, you’re missing a witness for your “X,” get out of here—I had such hopes. Ah well. When death gives you the damned, make a cooking class, I suppose. NOW WE MAY BEGIN. Pick up your measuring cups. Every

East of the Black Hills

South Dakota, 1878 Rain and Iris looked out across the emptiness. The grass looked back. They liked these kinds of days, where it was just the two of them, the house, the still, and the wind. The omnipresent prairie grass was freshly plowed—it had damn nearabout killed the horse, the roots were so deep. Rain would soon plant the corn and wheat. In the summer, he would try for tomatoes. East of the Black Hills (where it was rumored there was gold), life was quiet. Rain didn’t care much for noise. That was why he had spent every penny to educate himself on farming and animal care, city boy that he was. He was lucky Iris had come

On the Road

Dearest sister, I am writing to you from the road, so please excuse my poor penmanship. I fear my horse has not recovered from the events I will describe to you. Enclosed you will also find a notice and a report to be sent to the Crown; please forward them. There was not enough time to arrange two separate messengers and their fare. I suppose you wish to know how the great venture went, so I shall describe it to you. After I arrived in the capital, a marvelous company of hunters assembled. In their company I could not possibly feel fear despite being unaccustomed to fighting. The next morning, the rest of the company was

My Bio

It may take a while, because I tend to avoid the internet when I'm writing, but I'll give one back.

Sunset on the Cloud Kingdom   The sun hugged the fields behind the house. They were bursting with knee-high greenery above the rust red clay. The wind blew through the small spaces between the slowly withering leaves, caressing and rustling them like debutante dresses.
  A woman and a boy sat on the back porch of the house, looking out at the plants. A small plume of smoke escaped from the woman’s lips as she lowered her cigarette. She exhaled the rest in a long, slow breath, creating a cloud that hung in the thick air.
  The boy fidgeted, unable to stand the potential in the air, the almost-silence that made the humidity seem insignificant.
  “Gramma?”
  “What.” It was not a question.
  “How come, I mean, how come you do…” He waved his hand in the air, trying to communicate a concept that seemed taboo, “...that?”
  “What you mean? Mechanical Shop6 o’clock. She went to smash snooze, but her alarm sprouted wings and flew away, blaring.
Downstairs, the wares began to rustle. Showtime.

The Gauntlet + October Review

0 min read

I wrote for 4/9 prompts of The GAUNTLET and I'm very proud of myself. It was excellent prep for this month's big challenge, NaNoWriMo! I signed myself up to write this year, come hell or high water. (And now college is like  ) If you'd like to add me as a buddy on NaNo, send me a note here on dA. October:I wrote these four things: Musings on Universe 1.0, We're Not Alone, Infernal Crazy Cake, & East of the Black Hills. Inbox is down to 3,583. The Shakespeare assignment got bargained down, so I'm back on track. Phew. SPOOKY SEASON was fabulous. I jury-rigged a fabulous bat-bowtie (I don't have pics) and I'm currently sitting atop my

Redbubble + September Review

0 min read

I got a Redbubble at the end of September. I'll post a link after I diversify my portfolio there, as it's currently all leg stickers. I honestly just did this to get some quality leg stickers to go on my laptop, but they make excellent decor for pretty much anything you think needs legs. I've been resisting the urge to go commit some leg sticker poster vandalism. September:Inbox down to 3,980 but I received more llamas and I haven't cleared them yet. I did not return a few of the llamas I received because I do not believe in supporting pages dedicated to NSFW art, especially that of existing properties. The Shakespeare class assignment is

Laptop and life update (+August review)

0 min read

Thanks to COLLEGE, my plans to clear out my dA inbox were swiftly derailed. I did get a name for my laptop, though: PARIS, after the pretty boy that everyone hates in the Iliad. August: Still sitting on a full inbox. Current message count: 4,227. I'm just proud I cleared my llama stack! I did draw some things, but my webcomic plans were derailed by an assignment for my Shakespeare class. Hopefully I can post some of the concept art for that around November or December when I turn that in. Looking forward:September: Expect me to check in about twice to clear llama notifications and/or post short comics about college. October: More of t
