“We Sang Water into Lemonade, on the Eve of Summer, in the Wasteland”, published by Factor Four

We passed the last dandelion by late morning, and by noon, the grass had faded. Nothing grew in the gray, aether-swept deadlands beyond the city’s eastern wall.“I should bring Martha,” said Ma, her voice cracked with age. “She’d love it.”My younger sister patted Ma’s shoulder. “I’m here, Ma.”“Oh, not you, dear. I meant my daughter, Martha.”The spectre of a girl appeared, matching our slow pace with her skipping walk. This was the Martha that Ma remembered, aged six, not a thirty-year-old woman with children of her own.Continue Reading

“Forget-me-not” in Chaotic Cupids

My lover lies near me, beautiful and still, as the first of five promised flowers sprouts from her dead left eye. I don’t know its name. It has a short, strong stem, with seven pointed yellow-orange petals and a sweet, unfamiliar smell.I love the brightness of the flower, the warmth of it. Not cool, like the pale blue forget-me-nots she adored, which bloom in clusters now around the trees and shrubs that span the wilds between our small stone cottage and the river, the place she called her garden.Continue Reading

“Children of a Bronze Sun” Published in On Spec

Tall, handsome, skilful Elim—of course it would be him. Not yet a month past fourteen, but talented, and with Aquilon and Timala lost he was now the Tribe’s best hunter. Atop that, he was one of very few blessed to endure the fog without malady. Unless a Growler took him, his life would be an uncommon long one. That, along with his skill, should have been a gift to the Tribe.But always against it stood his temperament.Continue Reading

The breakfast of the day (and last Saturday too), this is a Korean staple, or at least our effort at it — very versatile, pretty simple, and a nice option that elaborates on the more usual pancake.Continue Reading
