After months of claiming the disease would disappear and constantly scoffing at masks as a tool of the radical left, karma has bit him in his orange ass. It’s a telling indicator of what we’ve had to … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Skyhunter

Project Super Nex – Chapter Nineteen – Always
I was five when Mom told me about the lusiere’s role in Teönor mythology. Apparently, a group of demon gods known collectively as the Urogotha had a bothersome habit of scheming to overthrow Metura, ruler of the heavens and the mortal world. One of their favorite tactics was dispatching spirits to possess mortals and bend … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Nineteen – Always
Project Super Nex – Chapter Eighteen – Bring Into The Light
I fade in and out of a silent, sprawling darkness. I fight off its attempts to ensnare my soul in its talons, carve it out of me, rip it apart. Sidney materializes, holds out her hand to me, calls out to me. Don’t go. Before I can take her hand, she dissolves into the void. My … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Eighteen – Bring Into The Light
Project Super Nex – Chapter Seventeen – In The Fractured Island
When I walk into the Citadelle through the main entrance, the atmosphere of the lobby is abuzz with a palpable tension, as if preceding a crucial event in the future. Warbearer Overseers seem to frown even deeper at me from their giant portraits, the battles between the crimson force and Grimhet emanate more violence from … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Seventeen – In The Fractured Island
Project Super Nex – Chapter Sixteen – Chaos and Death
It’s the 25th of Merto, ten past eight in the morning. The edges of a cumulus cloud burn white as it slips over one of the suns, while the second sun radiates razor blades that slice gashes through other approaching clouds. The grass and the trees and the lake of Gollinger Park flash and gleam … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Sixteen – Chaos and Death
Project Super Nex – Chapter Fifteen – Rupture
I awaken to the opening notes of the Chameleons for Breakfast score, rippling with equal amounts of grandeur and tenderness. Lying on my side in bed, I wiggle my arm out from underneath the covers, stretch it out to snooze my phone. Time: seven-ten p.d. I roll onto my back, lace my fingers over my … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Fifteen – Rupture
Project Super Nex – Chapter Fourteen – Homesick
I barrel down the stairs from the steeple, bolt through the dining area, through the entrance vestibule and past the kissnut queen with its spiky branches looming over me. The ashmelin double doors slam open before I can touch them and I jump back from the frenzied throngs of Vermusk piling in. I squeeze my … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Fourteen – Homesick
My 2 Cents on The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
What’s new, readers? Today is the first day of June, which means summer is on the horizon—and you know what, I couldn’t care less. Things have been so exasperating lately, not just because of the dimwits out there who see fit to dismiss the necessity of face masks, but also because of the police-inflicted murder … Continue reading My 2 Cents on The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Project Super Nex – Chapter Thirteen – Fading Into The Void
Cursed Cosmotic, I’m back in that tiresome meadow. It’s mostly the same—picking berries, traipsing down the grawtree-lined passage toward the meadow, sensing something rustling within the trees on my left. Not only do I hear a piano melody, but also the opening verse of “Delusive Eyes”—I can smell orchids, even though they’re out of season—and … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Thirteen – Fading Into The Void
My 2 Cents on Recursion
What’s new, readers? I hope you’re all following the sacred rules of social distancing, unlike some people who see fit to romp and cavort in the outdoors because it’s their birthright or other such poppycock. But hey, I’m perfectly okay staying at home. It gives me time to ruminate about things that require serious consideration. … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Recursion
