Think of it as written by Miriam Halafax of the Justiceers for the title.Horrible & Lovely - I like this one despite how plain and painfully vulnerable it is. There’s a magic to that.the underworld (Redux) - My schizophrenic breakdown begins! This was what happened to me in a waking vision at the beginning of my subconscious trying to tell me I was schizophrenic and would apparently, be fighting a demon for some time relating another person I had trauma with. It’s also how my subconscious stoked me up to deliver a letter.The Grimoire - It’s a spaceship, dude.Those Deepest Woods - This is the third short story I created after A Foot in the Door, and Radical Pair. It was months and months later, and when I knew I could write whatever I wanted. The Grimoire was next. My subconscious and me have been flowing with fiction-prose ever since, every day.Willa - This sucks. But it’s all true. I hope it’s a cautionary tale at the end. Many of my stories are for now.The Whore - This is about trans women being abused into people who are then demonized and of emotional degradation.Harriet’s Voice - short story about trans misogynyJusticeers - When I wrote this story I knew it was a novel. When I finished the twelve short stories I wrote starting with Those Deepest Woods, I knew it was time for the Justiceers book and haven’t stopped with long form in tandem.Heavy Dope: A Saga of Cybernetic Justice - I still think this is one of the funniest short stories ever written.Pure Magick - This is the saddest thing I can imagine anybody ever having to write.Mary & Jesus - Mary was one bitch. The Gospels are hers but bastardized. Jesus just killed a dude. Get over it. That’s what dudes are for. Ladies used to let them take all the credit.Grip - HOT, dude. HOT. And it’s my whole heart in need of healing too.Radical Pair - Prequel story to a book I need to re-write, that was my first—in notebooks—long before I was writing from my subconscious flow.Rhinestone & Calligula - What if we were The Milky Way as a soul, and Andromeda was something we already felt inside us through time? If you spun a rhinestone how would it look?A Foot in the Door - My first short fiction story, other than screenplays.
