Today my world opened up on all ends and all the different dimensions fell in on themselves.
Today I discovered what it means to be space, to exist in the realm of reality beyond my past and present.
I followed the imprint of echoes and got lost as the sirens swallowed me whole.
Today, I was a monster, peeking through holes left by stars into the realities I wish would disappear.
Today, I trickled into the atmosphere, wasted on broken glass and the blood from my throat.
Today my mask fell off and I was forced to see.
All the atoms split so far from each other I could hear the silence between reality and God.
Tomorrow I'll try to be better.

How the Harvest Mouse Came to Suisun Bay
A long, long time ago there was a family of harvest mice. Mice are common, but these were unique – born to those who had lived in the salty, marshy bay for many generations, these mice ate and drank from the sea as well as the land and rivers. For generations, there were only the southern families, scattered along the marshes of Corte Madera and in the San Francisco Bay (U.S. Fish & Wildlife, 2013). One family, however, would undergo strife and conflict before reaching a whole new world. What became of them after is another tale entirely – but this is how their story begins.

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
