Emotions 365: The Land of Remorse, the Capitol Disappointed

Remorse flows half seen and half-soaked. Streams streak through the wetland. Long grasslike algae waves in the waters, turning deeper green or yellow with the seasons. Here jeweled-eyed, whiskered fish speak wisdom. They know secrets.

"What is something extraordinary that could be done now, today?” Miss Emeline Traveler asks.

She writes in her book beside the stream or contemplates the algae strands. The fertile frogs of Remorse sing at night, telling stories in burbles.

The capitol, Disappointed, is a vast port city. Disappointed alleyways and pathways run along the waterways. In the large Disappointed Park bridges cross over the streams of Remorse.

Disappointed's huge domed buildings loom over the waterfront.

"What do they house?" asks Miss Doe Friend. "Grains? Minerals? Ores?"

Stately houses lines the cliffs of Disappointed. The city shine by the sea. It radiated prosperousness under a clear blue sky.

"Close up it is dirty and unkempt," confides Miss Doe Friend. "There are too many streets in confusing patterns. It is easy to get lost in."

Many tourists visit and follow the prominent signs to attractions.

"Which are not as attractive as they sound," says Miss Doe Friend.

"It was such a promising place," says Miss Emeline.

Tourists sigh, while the inhabitants weep on their way to work walking through the gardens of Remorse.

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...

Springy Story Review: "Gestella" by Susan Palwick

Why it springs to mind: A hauntingly beautiful horror story about what happens when a woman relinquishes her power. A unique werewolf story with commentary on aging. Where read: First in Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology  ( 2015, PM Press edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer) and then in Palwick's collection The Fate of Mice ( 2007, Tachyon Publications ) — both outstanding! These presses won't steer you wrong. Summary: A young woman werewolf allows herself to be dominated by a lover who takes control of her fate. Memorable: The powerful ending! The word: sportfuck. A new take on lycanthropy. Written in second person — you. Quote:  "You know that your growing wisdom is the benefit of aging, the compensation for your wrinkles and your fading—although fading slowly as yet—beauty. You also know that Jonathan didn't marry you for wisdom."  Personal connection: Some of my favorite stories seem to be the ones that address t...

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.
