Robots and Feelings 01 - Rise

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 20:07:00 -0800

War is in the human condition. Their civilizations tend to bloodshed, even as individuals struggle for peace. But is the human condition permanent? Do humanity's machine children inherit their flaws through the touch of their creators or can they resolve the contradiction, and truly fight for a lasting peace on Earth?

Streets of New Morceau Episode 18 - What Comes After The Fall

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 07:00:00 -0700

The final stage of grief is acceptance. This doesn’t imply happiness, only moving past and allowing yourself to regrow. And though the pain of loss may never fade, it doesn’t always leave scars upon the soul, nor does it have to. A friend’s death can bolster, as surely as it can ruin. What you do, and how you remember them, is up to you.

Streets of New Morceau Episode 17 - A Death in the Family

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Mon, 4 Sep 2017 22:21:00 -0700

Those who burn brightest burn fastest. A testament to those determined to give of themselves until there is nothing left. But though the body turns to dust the mark they made on our souls lasts forever, so let not your heart be troubled because as long as we live they live alongside us, in every piece of our lives they made better. Because the hottest flames don’t just burn highest, they start fires.

Streets of New Morceau Episode 16 - And I’m Not Afraid to Die

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 07:00:00 -0700

We all wear masks. Deep down, we're all afraid to show who we really are. They let us get through the day and survive the unending erosion the world drops on our heads.

But there’s no one who wears a mask better than a wolf. Perfected to hide tooth and claw among wool and hoof. And sometimes that mask is so good the sheep forget the wolf ever existed, until it comes off.

In a town like New Morceau, you can keep your friends close, but you can’t ever trust them to watch your back, because every woman has her price, and a town built on graves always has room for one more.

Streets of New Morceau Episode 12-Spread the Blood that Burns

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 08:33:00 -0700

Clearing an overgrown path of it’s old growth is always an arduous task, clearing two is a chore no one wishes to undertake, but brambles from an abandoned path will trip you up out of spite.

Remaining vigilant is essential in a town like New Morceau, because the graveyards overflow with the careless, and the dead are the best fertilizer.

The witching hour always comes, and those who fail to watch the clock can only brace themselves and pray.

Streets of New Morceau Episode 11 -The Brightest Flame

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:57:00 -0700

There is but one indisputable truth that all who roam the streets of New Morceau know;At any point, your life can be changed or even ended on the whims of those more powerful than you.

In service of this truth, the little ones all seek power, to become the proverbial big fish in a hundred small ponds.

But, the biggest fish are the most appetizing, and there’s no better celebration in a coastal town than a fish fry.

To act is to tune reality, as if it were a common radio. But to imagine that other stations halt their music until you turn your attention to them is to invite ruin, and action or thought can only get you so far.

Streets of New Morceau Episode 5 - Nothing Gained

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:47:00 -0700

The first thing humanity ever invented was the monster, the second thing was the wherewithal to worship them as gods, the third thing was pretending the wall between god and monster wasn’t razor thin. Humanity is always so sure their protectors won’t turn on them while beseeching them to destroy their foes. A cynic would call humanity the real monster but a cynic has never seen what truly waits in the deepest shadow.

Despite popular opinion one great man can’t change history on his own. But a few people in the right place at the right time can change the course of the world without realizing it.

Of course sometimes the world balancing on the head of a pin just leaves us in need of a pincushion.

What is the measure of a human. Is it what they stand for? Is it how they live? Is it how they think? Is it an unbroken line of history from their birth to the present?

The only measure one can make is against oneself, and hope one doesn’t come up wanting.

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:19:00 -0700

An excerpt from the journal of Vgeral, third regent of Kor en Atesh.

We were fools for having hope, fools for expecting a future. The first daughter of our blood relit old flames in our hearts, but monsters are ever called monsters for reasons beyond themselves. No one has ever been kind to those they didn’t understand, and most are crueler still to those who don’t want to be understood. This place, though, it was our home, and tears flowed freely when it was taken from us. Flames rise from those ashes, though. There are always monsters in the dark.

saraiguma@gmail.com (The Wheel and the Way) — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:18:00 -0700

Journal of Vgeral, third regent of the city of the lost and damned (excerpt.)

The name of our city is a harsh one for a home, but no less accurate for it. Those like us, deprived of home and culture and personhood find a place to be here. This would seem a small comfort to most, but for we outcasts, we monsters, it’s like water to a dying man. As we came together, through the conflict and suffering we’ve begun to forge a place that truly belongs to us, a place which has painfully seldom existed, as far back as our histories allow. This is a chance for a new start, a future all our own, and for that we all give thanks, even in hardship.
