Hi everyone! I'm an author of fiction and nonfiction, a waitress at a restaurant (I love customer service), and hopefully a soon-to-be happiness life coach (I'm just waiting on my first clients). I love weird and thoughtful things.

The third planet from Sol is a drab ball with bits of sparkle; metal structures circle it like flies. Colored plastics litter the earth and float in the waters like fish, lively, dancing with the currents. The waters sparkle with iridescence. Our crew caused one to burst in flames floating like a hellish fleet of ships. The animals we knew are bones and the plants are dusty memories, this bare orb their headstone. Earth is in its Oil Age. Everything is dead, 'cept that with feeds on oil. It's a feast for them, the waste we spew.

What lurks in the shadows? Things that bite, ones that hide. Hear the animal calls, feel the drip of venom as you travel down this poetic forest path of caricatures.
