She fastened the final rivets. The squirming mass of ideological scrap strained against its bonds, but it couldn’t reach her anymore. It was shackled to 2024 in the final hours of New Year’s Eve, a sinking ship in the ocean of time. The new year would be what she wanted it to be.

Earth changes colors in autumn for the same reason its creatures do. Deep in interstellar space, rogue planets watch the display, deciding whether to pair with our world. One year, autumn came unexpectedly, full of deep violets and shocking blues. Earth had spotted a predator.

Second chances are rare and precious. You can’t take back what you say. You can’t force your past self to be a better person, to talk things out instead of going silent, to better tend the flame that meant the world. But, one autumn night, can live one hour a second time.

Leap days are not added to the year in which they occur. They are fractions, individual days from a single year too wonderful and dangerous to happen all at once. It was fractured and scattered across time, so its wonders and terrors can seep slowly into our safe little lives.

These woods hide saints of another kind — holy, unholy, beast and divine.

Whales live in a post-apocalypse. The oldest of them still remember a time before, the thriving exchange of stories and dances, a society caught between the abyss below and eternity above. Now, the ocean is a lonely place. All their songs are old, and they only hope to survive.

“Follow your heart.” “That‘s impractical. I'm not a whimsical person.” “The heart is not whimsical. The heart knows its purpose. It beats your entire life, never wavering. Here is what I want for you: Follow its example. Do what you must; do it as if you will die if you stop.”

And the last thing that I’ll ever see, tattooed on my soul, a vision of stars before a distant dawn in a frozen forest, so the moment that terrifies so many will be familiar and calm, and I can smile as I find my way home, to the place prepared for me among the quiet pine trees

You’ve got one more present under the tree. It’s all the way in back. Further. I know it’s dark in there. Look over your shoulder. Can you see me? No? Good. Now look down. See sand where the carpet was? Excellent. I got you an adventure. Keep going. You’ll know when it’s over.

10 vivid colors, bursts of excited blues and oranges and greens from the depths of my memory, echoes of painted curios in antique drawers or glorious titans of autumn, formative anchor points of my past, so my psyche will be less susceptible to manipulation from the world outside

11 peaceful miles, stretches of empty, straight road beneath a quiet moon on a still night, shards of time and space I can call upon when the noise and panic and fear of the world become too much to bear, so I may be comforted by the ancient feeling of the road meeting my feet

On the 12th day of Christmas the pine trees gave to me, 12 scraps of paper, each a surviving library card from a nearby timeline where books were considered either too precious or too dangerous to let out into the world, so if I found myself there, I could set the knowledge free

The hour we gain at the end of Daylight Saving Time is not the same one that was taken. Once they’re set loose, the lost hours will trade timelines, like hermit crabs lining up to swap shells. Our timeline isn’t very popular, but there’s always a misfit willing to give us a shot.

A strange black river ran by the hen’s farm. One of her chicks escaped and went to explore it. He was promptly flattened by a metal beast. The hen swore revenge. She’d find a way to destroy the black river. Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the road crossed her first.

"What sign are you?" "Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer." "I meant in the zodiak." "So did I. I follow the Babylonian calendar." "I wish you would take this seriously." "So sensitive. You must be a Cetus." "Don't make fun." "I can't help it! Classic Serpent Bearer behavior!"
