Would you rescue me
From a pack of #wolves at night
Just for your kibble?

Shredded pieces of bread decorate a plate. I type out my thoughts, and #undersea cables transport my negative product review to another continent, where it hopefully inspires an inventor to create the perfect butter knife. Meanwhile, I’ll have to eat dry hunks of wheat. Oh the humanity.

"Geriarty never steals, Hatson . He upgrades.."

How I so love Spring
With the serenade of birds
And #jade coloured trees

Bob and Nora swim above the #undersea rocks off Malta, trying to enjoy the view, but every fish and moving shadow makes them tense. A crab creeps closer and Nora freezes. They keep going anyway, pretending they're braver than they feel. Bob starts to whistle.

I think it’s in their dna lol 😂 😻

When you live land-locked,
With city skies, you dream of
#undersea kingdoms

Yet you still get caught

Dear Humanity,

This #NativeAmerican believes we are one. I’ve made mistakes, & I’m sorry, ask for your forgiveness & grace. I don’t know anything, but I thank you for trusting me in knowing my #investiture is in making this a safe space.🕊️

Love you,
Aspen🪶

Silently takes place between

Bob and Nora walk on the beach, #seafoam swirling around their ankles. Bob studies the horizon where sand meets the sky, and wonders aloud what the meaning of life could be. Nora sees a dog run happily in the distance and answers, "This moment."

"The diary pages soaked in #seafoam, Hatson"

"Evidence destroyed, Sholmes?"

"No, Hatson. Edited"

"Geriarty?"

"Who else..he's our editor in chief"

Bob sits at the kitchen table. Nora has brought a century egg home to test his courage. She shivers, all giddy, as she lets Bob take a bite. He chews once, twice, then says, "It tastes like #seafoam." He knows he'll never get near one again.

What I long to see
Is #seafoam tickling my toes
On an endless beach

This truth #hammers home
Cats were never owned, we’re owned
To do their bidding

When I need a break from surviving the Lostai boot camp, I compose #letters to my husband. It helps me feel like I'm still in touch with my family. Of course after I'm done, I promptly delete this fake correspondence for fear that Lostai security might intercept them.

Thanks ever so much Pete ☺️👍🏻

In a timeless #loop
Between sleep and work I toil
To rinse and repeat

They say “#sink or swim”
In this dog-eat-dog world where
No one lifts a hand

They’re so selective 😹😹

You choose to go #blind for things
