Two Worlds Meet: Hand Shakes Tentacle
SQUID: You ask what was I thinking during that historic first meeting? Well, it could have been historic, but for the conduct of the Eartheans later that same minor-sun-cycle. As it turned out, it's a wonder we even . . . but I have been instructed not to say too...
Sometimes It Takes a Child . . .
" 'You, kid!' she called out an open window. 'Get everybody to the Dirty Dog in thirty minutes. Step on it!' 'Step on what?' asked Nuri. He was brilliant, though very young, and did not have a particularly literal mind, but the constant switching between Arabic,...
Halycon Sage Ruminates
What if you were writing an imaginary world and you suddenly found out it might just be real, that every dog, cat, buzzard and eagle in it had feelings and you were responsible for them all? And for all their eggs and relatives and ecosystems? What if some funny...
My Walrus Baptism
Baptized by a walrus, snuffled by an elephant . . . and don't get me started on parrots! If you've read The Book of Squidly Light or The Life and Times of Halycon Sage, you might know that I love animals. And earlier in life, spaced decades apart, I had sudden...

But Then . . .
Perhaps one day this will all be over. I will travel the world in a light-powered plane, light as a glider, sun-powered. Light and light, light upon light, and visit the animals. So many dark and probable dreams, why not one light, sweet, crazy dream of hope? I will...
The Most Annoying Aliens in the Galaxy
This is NOT a Snrrr. They look nothing like this, but the picture perfectly expresses their collective personality. One of the most annoying alien races in the galaxy, heck, maybe in the whole multiverse, are the Snrrr. And the obnoxious thing about them is...
“Don’t Panic” (And Bring a Towel)
THIS IS ONLY A TEST. HAD IT BEEN AN ACTUAL ALERT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO VACATE YOUR PLANET FOR A MINIMUM OF 48 HOURS WHILE INTERGALACTIC ALIENS CAME TO STRAIGHTEN OUT YOUR MESS.
