continued from previous John looked down at the square from his flat as he was finishing his salad. It was a sunny morning again, and the mystery gardener busy at work early, expanding his little plot at the flattened botanical gardens. John could not tell if it was a man or a woman. All he … Continue reading A New Earth – The Salad
continued from previous Down by the water, bodies were still littering the beach every so often. What was left of local government would occasionally pick them up at various points during the day, but new corpses would magically appear overnight in unexpected places. They were brought in by the sea, sometimes from far away. They … Continue reading A New Earth – Reunion
continued from previous The word “observations” echoed in John’s head for a few elongated seconds. He was having another daydream, as flashbacks of his days cruising the busy hallways of the Marine Institute projected out from his memory cache. “Observation” can be such a cold, scientific word. It brings to mind scientists in protective eye … Continue reading A New Earth – Illuminated to Death
continued from previous The city had barely lifted itself out of the flood when the rain begun pummeling it down again. Dangerous rivers were forming in the streets once more, teaming up with the grey sky to compose a picture of a post-apocalyptic urban waterworld. But the downpour didn’t stop some of the last remaining … Continue reading A New Earth – The Revelers

He brought his face closer to the monitor so that he can almost see the individual pixels. For a few seconds he became absorbed into the screen, as he tried to predict where the trendline … Continue reading A New Earth – Sum of the Parts
The cloud started its life small: a tiny grey blemish in the sky, completely unaware of its own malignancy. As it sat lonely at the backside of the mountain, it became used to being fed by humans, just like a butcher’s dog. It never rained, not even moved. Just sat there all alone growing fatter … Continue reading Entropy
Join In - Or Get Out of the Way My fellow comrades-to-be. My fellow humans. My fellow victims of the pandemic. Economic casualties. Black and Brown people fed-up with the predatory White system. Climate refugees. And those of you who cannot speak, those of you who cannot hear me, or even read my words: the … Continue reading The Revolution is Coming
You seem to be deluded about how you arrived in this world. You think that you came here on a space ship. Conveniently arriving on the 6th day of Creation, when everything had already been prepared. You looked around, and you jumped to the conclusion that it had all been made for you. You poor … Continue reading Farewell Humans
