What started as a mock book cover is transforming into a fully articulated thing, not yet ready for the outside world. But getting there, 140+ pages in. #mockbookcover #themeekscifiseries ___________________________________________ Let's project some fifty years into the future. Examine how socioeconomic conditions have evolved, how the issues currently in debate on the geopolitical stage have manifested, the ways in which the planet has begun to fight back. An angry sea rages, each storm surge nipping at a frayed coastline. On intervening days, the rainclouds held at bay, a parched wind blows raw, dust bowls emerging in places once teeming with life. Humans engineer solutions to maintain a basic level of subsistence. They accept artificial substitutes for an array of depleted natural resources. They evolve. They make do. Dark skinned children are sought to regenerate a more resilient populace, a girl-child prophesied to one day inherit the earth. The concerns that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement have reached new heights, siphons looking to rob dark-skinned children of the melanin sewn into their DNA. Global Outreach has appointed GO-ARDitrons to safeguard the source of our future progeny, a child's biological parents powerless against kidnappers bent on a new strain in human trafficking. The future of the planet depends on their success. ___________________________________________ #prose #LitFiction #literary #fiction #booktube #booktastic #booklove #bookstagram #avidreader #bibliophile #goodreads #booknerdigans #readsoullit #igwriters #writersofig #writersofinstagram 📚 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzovcrTA_zv/?igshid=1fe06bt3qthgq

I tend to duck away when the sun gets too bright outside. But I'm still here. #amwriting #themeekscifiseries ___________________________________________ Momar and I are thrust back inside a bubble. Anyplace we go, it is with full military escort, the windows of the transport vehicle tinted the same dreadful blue. Everybody's least favorite color is blue. The argon glass tints the whole outside world an odd hue. I pretend that I'm floating near the bottom of the sea or walking on the face of the moon. Even the Sun is a hot piercing blue spot, lined on one side in a delicate red arc where the double paned glass bends the light in two. Either that or the argon gas has begun to fail, the red outline marking a crevice like the inside surround of a door frame letting in a bit of the light the door has lost the ability to keep out. It's all a splendid betrayal. ___________________________________________ #prose #LitFiction #literary #fiction #booktube #booktastic #booklove #bookstagram #avidreader #bibliophile #goodreads #booknerdigans #readsoullit #amwriting #igwriters #writersofig #writersofinstagram 📚 (at Penn Treaty Park)

We have lived here approaching three years. I ask my Momar what is meant by temporary, long-term. "It's a contraction of terms," Momar explains, intent at every turn on offering instruction about the forces at work to reshape our world. "Long-term means the place is not bound to float away. Temporary means the government officials will let us know when time comes to move again."
