Sea. Top Story - October 2026.
The body was still floating at sea. That’s all they were now; the body. A body. The world had eroded so long ago, so violently, there didn’t seem any point to keep up with the charade of names, and sexes, and distinctions. They were just a body now, with bits on the outside and bits on the inside, lying in a boat, in the middle of the world long since gone.

And so it came to pass as things so often do and as we unveil the oldest recorded words from the distant past of the earth on the passing of its existence - the meaning of the universe (not 42, that pesky Adams). It said, "sorry, we dropped acid first."

The Meadow and Garden
Do not plant the seeds of violence in your home, for they will never grow into the blossoms you desire. I walked with the Lord, and as I looked about me, I found myself in a meadow. He was no longer beside me. I had forgotten Him for a moment, and no more than a moment. I looked up.
