    “Baba? Are you okay?” The little hand on my knee brought me back to them. I held the weaving in my hands still, the unfinished netting held securely in my gnarled hands. “Baba?”

    An atheist and a hard polytheist were having an argument. It started out with the atheist congratulating me for not having religious beliefs. He made this conclusion because I wore no religious symbols. I asked him to define “religion” and he started tearing into me for being a stupid cunt. He never did define religion.…

    A lazy dream of playing cards at the park. Belle, Kanna, myself, and a person I can’t remember. Belle’s amethysts were a sparkling contrast to the shifting shadows across from her.

    Sir Nathaniel tried to gloat last night. I didn’t hear a single word he said. Instead, I noted his spider body legs had changed in color. From the beginning, his tarantula legs has been a vividly intense orange. (His decapitated head is the spider “body” he hides under the top hat.) When he returned, his…

    My dog is scheduled to be put down today. It’s been awhile coming but the dog’s legal owner couldn’t face it until now. I’m prepared. And breathing a sigh of relief he will no longer be in pain. Sir Nathaniel came home last night. “Now you’ll know what it is to be abandoned.”
