Cat Pictures Please and Other Stories
{5/5} “The element of change, as everyone knows, is Air. They say that every now and then when the wind blows in a certain direction, it can bring an excess of Air into people who’ve never been known for foolishness. So close your doors on those days; shutter your windows. Don’t go out onto the […]

Smothered Dolls
{4.5/5} “‘This place, this loft… well, back in the seventies, it belonged to her.’ The unexpected verbal italics did more than jangle rudely in my ears… they formed shivery small scythes, which arced cleanly through the haze of my thoughts, revealing something best left hidden — before I spoke, I carefully ran my tongue over […]

The Hidden Girl and Other Stories
{5/5} “Big Semi did not work with scripts and storyboards.

Exhalation
{5/5} “The universe began as an enormous breath being held. Who knows why, but whatever the reason, I am glad that it did, because I owe my existence to that fact. All my desires and ruminations are no more and no less than eddy currents generated by the gradual exhalation of our universe. And until […]
Organisms
{5/5} “All that remained was to find the right partner: another interstellar entity who’d complete the Union’s life. An entity who was smart and fun to be with. An entity whose component orgs were carbon-based. (Some of the Union’s best friends were silicon-based, but still…) What the Union was looking for was an entity with […]
