M.E. Macuaga stands in front of a natural landscape, wearing a charcoal linen dress and red-rimmed glasses.
"Projectile motion as we knew it. The calculable, imaginable universe."
In this week's miCRo by M.E. Macuaga, Cosmic wonder and familial love are bridged by a melodic, clever lullaby.

Literary things are happening but I will be dark for a beat while I grapple with the impact of the Los Angeles wildfires -- short and long term. My family and home are currently safe but just a mile from the evac zones and our community is devastated. 1/2

MARK: Huh. Not work?
JENNIFER: No, Christmas! You never Christmas?
MARK: No, I work. Work work. Dad worked. Dad worked and worked. Dad sad. Dad sad work. Mom dead, car crash. So Dad worked sad and sad worked. No Christmas.

Oh my gosh! I just started reading This Cursed House as a possible comp and I'm hooked. 📖👀💓 Sadly registration is already maxed out for Sunday but I will keep an eye out for future opportunities. The Back Room is awesome! Thank you Hank!
Oh God, it's like Christmas next week, it feels like the apocalypse every goddamn day, and the nightmares will only continue to unfurl in the new year. Also you still have to write your book.
My tiny sci-fi screenplay "The Auction" is a quarterfinalist! Thank you so much @filmmaticnews!! 🚀🙌🎥🏆✍🌟
