Dino Haiku
Extinction and rebirth
We were apex gods
Majestic in form and might
Unchallenged, we ruled
..........
Amphibians, birds,
reptiles, all feared our God-ness
Then extinction came.
..........
We died and they lived.
They recolonized the land:
Repopulation.
...........
Ecosystems grew...
Gods can fall. Mighty or small...
Learn to co-exist.

Paralysis
She was there. Like she always had been, as if she were created immediately following the big bang. Waiting for him. Her long brown hair twisted and danced wildly in the lack of gravity. She was hauntingly beautiful, but her face was a look of terror and desperation. She mouthed wordless shouts, Ron only could assume she was yelling by the way the veins bulged in her neck.
