Emotion 365: The Land of Angry, the Capitol Murderous

A roiling pit of mud, Angry burbles, bubbles, up pant legs. Steps sink in deep. There are pockets of hot mud and frozen ones. Always Angry clings and coats. Visitors sink into the land. They walk through it looking for treasures or for a way out which becomes a treasure in and of itself as they sink deeper and find nothing.

They must be airlifted out. Still Angry clings to their stretchers. It dries to them. They find it later, clay cracking in the crevasses of their bodies, in folds of skin, wrinkling, becoming dry sand or hard clay chunks in their clothes. 

No one likes Angry. No one recommends it. But no one can resist the allure of the mystical mud pots bubbling purple and red.

 “There are health benefits to the mud,” a guide says. But no one can say with certainly what.

“It is gory and gross,” says Miss Emeline. “A completely unforgivable place.”

But when you pull Miss Doe Friend aside surprisingly, she whispers, "I must say though, I found it rather glorious."

The capitol lies in a shadowland, the dark castle Murderous, down below in a pocket of cooled mud, it decays and corrodes. The Angry mud erupts violently and hardens into the Murderous castle, with sharp spires and intricate architecture.

The people who come here flash in and out. Some never leave. They see the Castle Murderous in nightmares. Murderous permits few residents. They must live in Angry a long time and coat themselves into mud and stay within mud cocoons until they crack. 

No one admits they wish to vacation here. Such a thing is impossible. They flash in and out and see the inside of the castle Murderous, but never the castle grounds.

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.
