Un Momento Por Favor
The unyielding evening. The flight was cancelled due to “technical issues”, but what that was referring to was anyone’s guess. Did that mean one of the engines was malfunctioning and in dire need of repair? Did that mean the video monitors were down? Perhaps the pilot “just wasn’t feeling it” on that particular day? The…

Mr. Finewine
Give it up for the man of the hour, Mr. Finewine! Clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap. Bow this way, bow that way, bow the other way, bow all the other which way. My fine furry friends, I thank you for hosting me on this most auspicious of days. It is a day of…

The Man of the Deep
Down in the depths of the sea, there is a man who flosses with seaweed and gargles with brine. Somewhere in the midst of that deep there is a vast array of trinkets that he uses, and there is a wide variety of uses applied with these trinkets. The man of the deep refers to…

In the Caverns
Figure eights in the distance, in the dandelion circles we fall and we fly. And together we fall and we fly, in equal measure.

Griselda
While each of my family members had some role (and continue to have roles) in my life and impacted who I am as a person, it all began with Griselda. She was the one who officially kicked everything off, whether we were ready for the inciting incident or not. Because you see, our lives were…

Bitten by the Devil’s Granddaughter
I was walking across the silver bridge and gazing at the calm waters on either side of me. There were reeds poking out from the shallow banks and water lilies floating there, little green leafy islands in the wilderness. There was no one else to be found walking, or even standing, on the long, narrow,…

I’m Moving Out
Grandma had told me that it was really no problem, to think nothing of it. I was astounded by her generosity, but at this point I had no reason to be astounded. She had been known in circles for her generosity, in addition to her various eccentricities. It was raining slightly, dripping. Misty, but also…
