Emotion 365: The Land of Uplifting, the Capitol Prepared

Rope ladders rise to the land of Uplifting. People climb and climb until finally they begin to feel themselves rise. Then they let go and float the rest of the way to Uplifting in the clouds near the sun. Uplifting glows a sunrise pink. The people wear clouds. They drink cloud wine and eat cloud berries. They peer through time scopes and look for the downtrodden. Then the cast down their cloud ropes saying, “Climb up and join us for a time!”

In Uplifting everything looks better and troubles melt. Visitors return to whence they came with lightened hearts.

"I loved the cloud sheep,” says Miss Doe Friend, who missed her lover Alobar just a bit less in Uplifting.

The Time Scopes watch the surface from the capitol Prepared, where the denizens take their duties seriously and rise at dawn for stretching exercises. Then they blink quickly to sharpen their eyesight and peer through the telescopes to spot the people most in need. In an emergency, the eagle-like Preparitons swoop down to uplift a sad soul, but they are not angels. At noon, they break to eat cloud berries and then they walk or fly along the cloud paths to regain their focus. They spend the afternoon at work and in the evening sleep lightly on cloud outposts ready to awake if needed. They dream of tomorrow’s work and what they must do. “We help as many as we can,” says the Eagle Prepared.

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.
