Hypercubes are small in any 3 dimensions, but all that hidden stuff has weight. Hyper LA reached 30% hyperdensity on March 14, 2067, and the big fault couldn't hold it anymore. We don't know where the missing part of the city went, but what remains is strewn across the continental shelf.

I really wonder

If a ship is traveling really close to light speed it gets very massive. So if you cycle a pair of boxer shorts out the airlock, and it hits a planet, would any life there survive?

Evolution came mighty close with the sea spider.

A very short haibun


No one liked the cockroach vampires, but they were appreciated.


on the third I rise
skitter after the fluids of the living

In the nether regions, reputedly of unprecedented heat and coolth, there toil the dead, subject to environmental extremes we cannot hope to imagine.

That's a title! A frog-f@#%ing title! You made a title out of a date! Haiku don't have m&%^#r-f$*#ing titles! And now it's a haibun. Sort of.

oh well

Cole remembered, just too late, that he'd left the Hole on after emptying the garbage pail.

Love notes

A fragment penned in medieval french, using synthetic ink, on the tanned hide of an extinct Miocene North American camel.  The note was tucked into a battered ops manual on the bridge of a derelict Centauran frigate in orbit around Sirius. There were others. A 6,000-year-old pot sherd buried under 30 m of sand in Saudi Arabia. Mid-20th-century Spain, Paleolithic France, the Cretaceous of Montana, the Pleistocene of Saturn's rings, Deimos, Phobos, a cometary surface destroyed by ablation during the younger Dryas. There was just one thing to do.

I love you too
