Emotion 365: The Cave Anger, the Hopeless Cliffs, the Threatened River, the Lava City Taunted

The cave Anger walls in travelers. It grows unfathomably deep. One arrives at Anger by foot or by climbing down the Hopeless cliffs or by rowing down the Threatened river. Like a honeycombed hive, there are many ways to enter Anger. It is bigger inside than out. 

“No!” a shout echoes through the entire land. 

Angerians subsist on mushrooms that grow in the dank caves. Warmth rises from the bubbling lava pit. It belches noxious fumes. Visitors bottle the water of Anger that drips off stalactites. They poison their enemies and intoxicate foes to convince them to follow their ways. Hoards of visitors venture to Anger to feast on mushroom meals. 

Angerians often march to other lands to share their rage. “They are frightening, but sometimes useful allies,” says General Kilgore. 

By the shores of the lava field lies the capitol city Taunted. Lava bubbles around it. Everyone visits Taunted as a child. It’s known for its parks. Children ride the Threatened River to Anger and down to the lava city Taunted. They eat lava candy and drink lava shakes. They take home lava rocks as souvenirs. They shout and run and add to the general chaos. Taunted caters to these young tourists. 

“They learn about Anger and what we stand for,” says General Kilgore. 

Children may go back several times in their childhood. Taunted has attempted draw in adult visitors. But it never appeals. Adults chaperone reluctantly and usually send children away to Taunted for summer camps. It often puts people off Anger altogether. 

“There are far better places to holiday,” says Miss Emeline Traveler. 

Only the very young are amused by Taunted’s antics: the silly names of the guides, streets, and food kiosks. They find everything funny. Whereas most adults are only irritated.

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.
