Evolving characters, chaotic lands...
The following poem is from the world of Bug & Claw, where highly intelligent mutant arthropods rule what's left of the devastated world created by humans.
In the shadows where creatures crawl,
Silent whispers of the Iron Claw.
A dance at dusk, a moonlit brawl,
Mysteries unfold, unheard and raw.
Unheard and raw, mysteries unfold,
A moonlit brawl, a dance at dusk.
The Iron Claw, in shadows bold,
Whispers silent, broken trust.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
