Nightmare Alley (graphic art)
Here’s another graphic art piece I created on Canva. The original photo was taken in Philly in the spring of 2020 when the pandemic first hit. I distorted the image and shapes to turn it into a “Nightmare Alley.” I like how the image in the center almost looks like an alien spaceship or something you’d see in a science fiction movie.

Alien Landscape (graphic art)
Here’s a photo I took early last year of a creek in the suburbs of Philly. I’ve been playing around with graphic art on Canva lately, and I added some filters and effects that made it look like an alien planet. Doing the graphic art stuff has been fun and soothing – I just turn on some tunes and play around. Something to occupy myself during these endless pandemic days!

shed chains of kindness
not like you & I
they live in sky castles

Cyborg Love (a short story)
I’m not sure what attracted me to Stephanie. Was it her hazel eyes, which changed colors and had a circle of orange around the iris? Or was it how calm I felt around her, like I could be myself and not worry about ridicule?
I lay with her in bed on a Saturday night. She ran her fingers down my chest as we talked, and I could feel goosebumps shoot all over my body.
“What are you thinking about?” she asked, breaking the cool and calm silence.
“I’m still thinking about the talk at the university, to be honest. It was interesting. I always wondered what it’d be like to be a cyborg.”
