The cascading water brings stories gathered from nature pooling into the calm below.

If we could listen, what would they tell us?

At the risk of making a #rash decision I figured I may as well make some #noise and post my Coverfly stats.

Sometimes stepping away from your own shackles and trying something different pays off.

Excited to see Little Cowboys advance to Semi-Finalist at The Golden Script Competition for 2025.

And I’m still a contender for Finalist. 🤞

I scroll this #space of near magic decorated with all your thoughts and illustrations of forests, sunrises and the warmth of togetherness. This #conflict will be #defeated and these moments will not be lost.

It was a simpler time with family road trips down Route 66 with the #speakers blaring.

Later you could pull into a carhop diner where burger, fries and a drink was .50 cents.

🤷‍♂️ Change is inevitable…

Little Cowboys, a period script told in retrospect.

Thank you Santa Barbara International

At last the #interregnum arrested evil and created a void for change. Children brought #kittens and balloon kites to celebrate in the #cerulean sky free of war, turbulence, and the plague of hatred that fouled every civilization to its core.

Convinced of their superiority the AIs confused the concept of lemons with the practical application of the fruit. Their losses mounting, the team spiraled into a #rabbit_hole of frustration. They concluded shutdown was the appropriate option.

Tired but determined she wouldn’t #quit, not when she was so close. She knew it was the perfect place, a hidden refuge designed to deceive and to lure. Yes they would come, unaware of the trappings within.

Looking in from the shadow world was tempting, what would they see, what lie ahead? But the temptation itself was another darkness, an absolute void with no past and no future…a habitat reserved for the #stones of regret.

#Wandering aimlessly ain’t so bad. There are no questions to answer, no particular destination to find, just peace in the moment…
