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.Hypatia of Earth - This is the best written short story I’ve done, in my estimation, after final edits and cleanup. Think of it as written by Miriam Halafax of the Justiceers for the title. It was going to originally be called Honor of Hypatia. But I wanted to give her ultimate hero of Earth vibes. This is what we’ve done wrong, over again, and I think Miriam would appreciate most the sacrifice for living earnestly despite. I do not think it undermines the story or her character to land on love in the end. It’s beautiful. She’s still just a woman.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.Horrible & Lovely - I like this one despite how plain and painfully vulnerable it is. There’s a magic to that.Radical Pair - Prequel short story to a book I need to re-write, that was my first—in notebooks—long before I was writing from my subconscious flow.Grip - HOT, dude. HOT. And it’s my whole heart in need of healing too. F-Zero racing league vibes.Heavy Dope: A Saga of Cybernetic Justice - I still think this is one of the funniest short stories ever written.The Princess Was in That Castle - Romantic Tragedy Poemthe 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.Pure Magick - This is the saddest thing I can imagine anybody ever having to write. perchanceA Foot in the Door - My first short fiction story, other than screenplays. Chains - Alchemy of spite. I once let AI write something just like this and betrayed my own intelligence in a way I wanted to atone for. It was before I began creatively writing. I told the person. But I still hate myself for not writing that myself.Harriet’s Voice - short story about trans misogynyThe Whore - This is about trans women being abused into people who are then demonized and of emotional degradation.Justiceers - 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. Hasn’t had any love in a long time.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?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.Before the Precipice of Time - this is literally the first thing I wrote as channeled from my subconscious This is a public episode.
