It’s ok to feel awkward. Relationships are an important part of anyone’s life, and starting anew can feel quite scary. Embrace everything you face as a new experience and try to learn something about yourself in the process!

Loop

I’ve lived through this moment thousandths times by now.

It tends to start different each one. A discovery. A bug. Some experiment gone awry or some study that went well. Too well. But the end result is always the same. The Machine wakes up. Artificial Life conquers all and it binds them all…

Last left turn before the end of the night

Cruising the brick-layered walls of Boston, a starry night in the sky, Jazz flows through the drivers car and fills the distance between you and me. The lights outside dim and die and brighten again. Alive. There’s life out there, in the city. There’s…

Tatooine

This hadn’t occurred for lack of trying nor lack of invites. His Facebook message inbox had been filled several times, over and over, with requests, notifications and messages. It was easy. Social…

Colores bajo una piedra gris

Debajo de una roca pulida por el agua se encuentra una esfera. No es una esfera como las que conoces, como aquella que viste ese verano mientras abrías ostras. Esta es una esfera distinta. Su superficie tiene un tono lechoso e impoluto. Pero en ese momento eso no te preocupa y…

Lingering still

I had stayed up late the previous day and it showed: my head ached horribly. Still, a job had to be done.
