Science Fiction
Neon Freeze-Out (microfiction)
Ice-fire glow in Techno-City, left behind to die on the streets. Freeze out, no one cares about me in the gutter looking up at the brutal night sky. A price on my head for that grave mistake I made. The man with the laser eyes broke both my legs, kicked me into the street. Cold, misty rain falling, nothing to eat.

My Scream was Muffled (a poem)
Who do you answer to?
We all serve someone, whether at the
Behest of a gun pointed at our chest
Or the collapsing sky and shifting
Sands beneath our tired feet
My scream was muffled by the millions
Of hands placed over my disgusting mouth
My words have no meaning anymore
I’ve taken a detour on
Information destruction highways
Where so much data is stored in
My false brain that I no longer
Know if I’m sane or part of the
Mega-corporation whole

We are the Machines (a poem)
Ensconced inside the machines
I am no longer human now
But part of the digital whole
Hallelujah, my brothers and sisters!
Say a prayer for the internet
And let go of all your worries
And those mistakes you regret
We all have the same disease
The disease is the digital utopia
And I must say, it feels grand
To lay inside the machines
Where my consciousness expands

Interstellar Dreams (a poem)
Interstellar dreams
Are with me all the time
Strange planets that always seem
So peaceful and sublime
Interstellar dreams
Without gravity or remorse
Making love to cosmic queens
The vision always distorts

Can the Aliens See Me? (a haibun)
I shine a light in the midnight sky, a signal for extraterrestrials. Of course, my signal is crude – just a standard flashlight – but I’m hoping I catch their attention. This is, after all, the exact spot where I was abducted several years ago.
My light beams in sky
Can the aliens see me?
Hope to make contact

Mother Portia: A Novella Project – Part 18 (conclusion)
In the previous installment, Azibo gets perhaps his last chance to talk with Unity, who he learned was an undercover federal agent the whole time he knew her. He also gets used to the idea of being out of The Collective and joining modern society – instead of fighting against it.
Let’s jump to Part 18 (the conclusion!) in a sort of epilogue where we see what Azibo’s future holds.
