The Bird Steps Up
There comes a point when the bird just has to step up to the front and begin. There’s a certain awkward charm and anxious magnetism to starting out, but it doesn’t last all that long. The question is, what to … Continue reading
Design Justified

The Visitor Learns to Play
The rules are complex, but eventually even the gawky thing gives it a try, at first with big girly kicks that don’t land. After a while, the tentacles become an asset, even in this gravity, because as awkward as they … Continue reading
