Humbug
The holidays are hard upon me now, and winter darkness pushes me inside where media productions show me how inadequate I am. The facts implied obnoxiously about familial pleasure, the instances of love I see portrayed, all make me take … Continue reading

Animation

The Rhyme of the Ancient Toddler
or: Another Attempt to Capture a Dream Lesson Because she fears the basement so, her dreams keep sending her on errands to the place. And tension always mounts because it seems the light no longer works – she’s forced to … Continue reading
