This is so good. I love the build throughout.
Bugs over here too!
Find someone who looks at you like evolution looks at crabs.
Don’t think I will ever read a better writer genesis story than this one from Ray Bradbury. Pure magic.
Live forever, Ray.
You inspired me as well when I was 12.
happy back to school to everyone with collective synesthesia for notebook colors, except my childhood friend Jeff, who picked all black notebooks/folders and put them all in a black trapper keeper.
while my family played mario kart for an hour, I spent that time writing three sentences.
don't let him.
remade a Polly Pocket into a So Weird (the disney show) Polly Pocket. Tiny Molly Phillips tour bus. tiny Fi with a tiny laptop. tiny big foot.
Genderfluid protagonist! I’m Genderfluid! It’s June! The corporations are back to ignoring us! Good. And I’d be so happy if you read my new story.

A bit of twisted fiction with short story "Close to Me" by Alison L. Fraser.

currently doing this too for a longer story...there is a simultaneous joy and dread in the process.
featuring: mollusks, the dark-EPA (at the time I wrote it, it was less predictive and more speculative), and toilet augers (augurs).

and thank you to @sarahstarrmurphy.bsky.social! It was a dream to work with an editor who had so much faith in this story.

oh no (faintly), not another toy-based flash idea (way to amuse myself).
eek. I have a story coming out in a couple weeks from the Forge.
V-E-R-T-I-G-O, yes I have vertigooOo
Children of the Dust by Louise Lawrence. I still haven't gotten over that book. Also Eva by Peter Dickinson.
