Visual Dare - Mirror

Mirror World Martin crouched, oblivious to the flood waters rising around him. It had taken him months to find the mirror.

Peering into the mirror, Martin scrutinized the scene, searching for confirmation that the world he saw was his. There were so many worlds, all so... Read more →

Slowing Down

It should come as no surprise to you that we’re a rushing civilization. Modern virtues include multitasking, efficiency, any capability that allows one to get things done quickly.

The fish was longer than she was tall, and she’d jumped with glee when her papa landed it on the dock. “Papa, do you think he might have eaten Sally? Maybe we could get her out of his tummy now.” “I don’t know, honey. I don’t think tarpon eat dolls.”... Read more →
