Saturn Got Filed and Left Behind (Sorry to the Plants)

One fresh chaotic field note has officially been abandoned. This time, I left it nestled in the foliage like a cursed little space document just waiting for someone to make eye contact and feel the dread kick in. I mean, where else are you supposed to leave a letter about a gas giant that rains… Continue reading Saturn Got Filed and Left Behind (Sorry to the Plants)

I left something behind again. A little more of me, I think.

I wasn’t sure I was going to count this one. It’s quiet. A little too soft around the edges. The kind of letter you only write when you’re not sure anyone’s listening. Orren Alderfall showed up like that. A weathered sort of bear. Kind eyes. Heavy shoulders. The kind of creature who’s been holding his… Continue reading I left something behind again.

I won’t know either way.” Inside was a note to Melanie—a… Continue reading Thirteen Nickels and a Haunted Velvet Purse

You Are Not As Invisible As You Feel

Sometimes a letter isn’t meant to be answered. Sometimes it’s just meant to be found. To interrupt the moment someone looks up and doesn’t recognize themselves. To remind them they’re still here. Still seen. Maybe someone will pick it up. Maybe no one will. But just in case she’s still out there I want her… Continue reading You Are Not As Invisible As You Feel

You’ve Been Selected for Antler Dreams

 I don’t remember joining the Order, but the velvet shadows do. The trees remember. (Do you?) This is Letter #9 of Filed and Left Behind, left near a coffee station for someone who might need instructions they didn’t know they were waiting for. The message is simple: Don’t speak. Touch moss. Avoid corn. The deer… Continue reading You’ve Been Selected for Antler Dreams
