Emotion 365: The capitol of Naughty, Xenophobic

Xenophobic, boasts a giant metallic walled tower with a tiny red front door, which cost all the land's jewels paid for the common, poor, deluded citizens. The steel bolted door sits 10 feet off the ground. A platform whines up and down as its electronic gears turn to permit entry to guards and solo travelers. The platform fits, five medium-sized beings, at maximum. Behind the walls, grey circular space rises.

“It surrounded me until I felt I could not breathe,” said Miss Emeline Traveler. “I began to ascend the circular staircase up and up and up. There were elevators. Windowless elevators, even smaller than the cramped platform, with room for only two or three.”

 Tiny rooms circle the tower with small landings looking inward. Paths wind up the inner tower. Signs indicate one-way travel only.

“They are designed so they can be walked around but without meeting any other being. Only two can walk abreast," says the Guide.

"When we went there were a few humans and some cat-like creatures," says Miss Doe Friend. "The tower echoes with hisses, groans and growls.”

Vines grow on the outside of the tower and some green reflects on the inside. Naughtians are expected to make an annual pilgrimage to the tower, but most simply tithe. They go only when summoned. There is no space for their klatches.

"They said I was not permitted to tell of my travels,” Miss Emeline Traveler said. “It’s considered rude to talk of the outside.”

Thoughts on "Depression Hates a Moving Target": What I Mean by Relatable

Relatable — I used this word in my reviews of Depression Hates a Moving Target   by Nita Sweeney on Goodreads and Amazon . It's a nice word, but overused of late. So, it feels lazy. What do I mean? I connected with this book. It made me reflect more on my own first marathon experience. It made me want to put on my running shoes and head out the door again. In fact, I did. Now, typically, my mental health doesn't hinder my ability to do the stuff I want to do and my body flies under the radar. Still, I also felt goofy stepping out in my running gear a lot of the time. I didn't see myself as a "runner" or an athlete. And, I had no idea if I could run 13 miles let alone 26.2 when I started. More to the point, could I stay moving for the 4+ hours straight it would take to complete the marathon? To do the training mileage, I knew I'd have to run through streets and trails on my own and that made me nervous, too. Waves of grief wash us to strange shores. Whe...

What is Solarpunk? Good question, great answers from our community

What is solarpunk? My fellow Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers authors Commando Jugendstil and Tales from The EV Studio put together this video for the Turin International Book Fair . It features editors and authors from the solarpunk community sharing their thoughts. Together we're imagining optimistic futures based on renewable energy. My soundbite was: "Solarpunk futures are — green spaces with clean water that are pedestrian, collective, feminist, creative communities. And they include non-human animals. " Mary "solarpunk" Shelley cat did a great job (at 6:15) helping from her rather ridiculous cat tree which she absolutely loves. And what better time to wear this solar-colored "Veganism is Feminism" tee from The Herbivore Clothing Company . Seriously. I'm holding a stack of solarpunk books: Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers  edited by Sarena Ulibarri which includes my story "Watch Out, Red Crusher!".  Wings of R...

Springy story review: "State Change" by Ken Liu

Why it springs to mind:  You'll never look at an ice cube the same way again. Where read: In the 2014 Hugo award-winning Lightspeed Magazine , August. Length: 5,194 words Summary: A woman has an ice cube for a soul. Memorable: How the story invites us to think about the shape of our soul, how it (or our perception of it) influences us and how it changes. What ordinary every day object would your soul be? A silver spoon, a beech stick? A great party conversation starter, this. Quote:  “All life is an experiment." Notable:  The protagonist Rina is an avid reader (always a good choice). Pairs well with: T.S. Elliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay Origin:  The story was written in 24 hours based on a writing prompt. (See Author Spotlight: Ken Liu ) About the author: Ken Liu’s debut novel, The Grace of Kings , the first in a fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty, is due out from Saga Press ( a new Simon & Schuster imprint ) in 2015.
