For our submission, we chose to take a picture everyday (6:30 PM EST and 5:30 PM CST) of whatever was around us at the time. One moment, two perspectives.

Before I found writing, I was lost. After that, I was found.
Cost
What’s the cost? And how do we decide?

A Certainty
This poem focuses on the philosophy of interpreting life objectively; there is a certain calm in accepting reality as is, and taking pleasure in the mere fact of our existence.
To the Grave
People tell me I can’t bring my objects to the grave with me. I wanted to play around with this idea of permanence in my piece. This flash fiction explores what happens when we can.
Seepage
Spilling thoughts on paper; the unrefined, unfiltered, unmuted musings of Lavera Yul.
