(B+?) Nothingness
Empty.
Floating away on nothingness.
Feeling nothing, thinking nothing, seeing nothing, hearing nothing.
I was absolutely nothing, just a pinprick of thought, drifting in the wind of the universe.
I was at peace. I was whole. I was nothing.
This was heaven.

Dawn of the Others
The Others came to earth months ago. Human life ended months ago. At least, human life as we knew it. Humans have become slaves for The Others. At least, the lucky ones have. Those who are less likely have been shunted off to breeding facilities. Unfortunately for humans, we are the best food source on earth for The Others.

Part Woman, Part Alien
Sometimes I feel like an alien with other women
Like they all have this secret code to womanhood
A map to femininity that I don’t have
I used to want femininity desperately
I resented that others were given the pink fluffy key at birth
And I wasn’t
