Here's something I've tinkered with for many years. After getting a lifetime of toxic perfectionism knocked out of me last week, I've decided this is the project I most desperately need to stop tinkering with and start publishing. Really it's just the kind of storytelling frame story I've dreamed of since I first read Douglas Coupland's "Generation X" in about 1994. Some horror, some humor, some romance, some multidimensional adventure. Please let me know what you think, dear reader. Especially if you find some confusing bits of bad English. It is a second language, if not third behind Autism and Swedish. Anyway.
The stakes have never been higher
Once there was only darkness. Now there is light.
In this movement, in this dance, in this instant of change from one to the other:
There is all hope, all life, all future, all meaning.
The possibility of gravity and love.
At the dawn of time, something older and hotter than anything humankind can understand cracks and spills universe out onto the space at the ground floor of existence, matter and energy and information condensing on the emptiness like water on a cold glass on a hot day. Light. Heat. Motion. Gravity.
Time happens.
In the strange city of Hearthstown three people are moving in together, driven by desperate poverty as well as a shared wish for something different. Something extraordinary. Something more.
