Two moons shone down on a gravel path winding through a red desert sparsely bordered by small tan houses, each the same shape, the same color, with the same doors and the same windows.

Julia Clark, Author
September 29, 2017
There are two beings in our world: humans and monsters. Now, humans are just ordinary people with ordinary talents and jobs. Monsters are cold, agile shapeshifters. They are created with human appearances, so we can only identify them through our hearing and their silence — monsters can’t talk. ...
The Firedrake Problem

Camera starts to roll, coming into focus on a charming young reporter in front of the fuzzy background of a looming building. A brief pause: she smiles graciously, one hand raised to her ear. Action. “Thanks, Debbie. As you can see, it’s a very important day here at the World Conservation Commis...

Today This silence is all consuming, Like the moon's eternal looming. I lie down and try to sleep. Tomorrow brings another Today And I've always hated Today. Today is soon another Yesterday, One I'll surely miss, Tomorrow. Nights are confusion as Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday blend. All at once...
