The Daily Doodles

One of my favourite sites, Stranger Dimensions, did an awesome write up about me and my site!

You can read it here: A SPACE BETWEEN DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES: The Daily Doodles.

It was a very nice surprise, as I actually do read Stranger Dimensions daily when new posts are delivered to my Gmail each night, and about a week ago I was scrolling down the newest email, reading about many of the weird, paranormal, science-y news they report on, when suddenly I saw one of my drawings! :-o  I certainly wasn’t expecting it.

If you’re into news about scientific discovery, time travel, ghosts, aliens, the paranormal, and basically everything cool and fun that is known and unknown in the universe, I think you’d love Stranger Dimensions too. 

(And also, if you’re like me and you grew up listening to Coast to Coast AM, I KNOW you’d love Stranger Dimensions).

Thank you to Rob Schwarz for the great article!

“Crossing Paths with a Robot in the Dense Forest”

(Dedicated to my niece Penelope, who was born Saturday!)

As Young Penelope the Girl went through a nice walk in the woods
To hide after murdering her enemies (as every Penelope the Girl shoulds),
She crossed paths with a Robot, one of those Crypotomechalogical myths
Somehow created before time began, by long extinct Droidsmiths.

Penelope stares up at the Droid, and the Droid stares right back
And both just stare at each other, wondering who will attack.

Robots have long been scared of kids, the most illogical of mankind
There’s no sense in their ways, with their cruel fickle mind.
Penelope doesn’t know this, of course, and she stands frozen where she stands.
Imagining the noise her bones will make, when crushed by steel hands.

But as she gazes into the Robot’s optic lens, and it peers into her own,
They realize they both want the same thing: to be left alone.

So Penelope bows, while the Droid curtsies, neither wanting any war,
And they each go their separate ways, their paths crossing nevermore.

“Crossing Paths with a Robot in the Dense Forest”

As Young Piper the Girl went through a nice walk in the woods
To hide after murdering her enemies (as every Piper the Girl shoulds),
She crossed paths with a Robot, one of those Crypotomechalogical myths
Somehow created before time began, by long extinct Droidsmiths.

Piper stares up at the Droid, and the Droid stares right back
And both just stare at each other, wondering who will attack.

Robots have long been scared of kids, the most illogical of mankind
There’s no sense in their ways, with their cruel fickle mind.
Piper doesn’t know this, of course, and she stands frozen where she stands.
Imagining the noise her bones will make, when crushed by steel hands.

But as she gazes into the Robot’s optic lens, and it peers into her own,
They realize they both want the same thing: to be left alone.

So Piper bows, while the Droid curtsies, neither wanting any war,
And they each go their separate ways, their paths crossing nevermore.

Jacob Adler softly touches the glass of the display case and stares at the Horned Monkeyfish bones that he found so captivating as a child… It was so cool!  Actual bones of a rare mythical baby sea monster…! 

He forcibly tries to rekindle that feeling of awe he felt as a kid… but it simply isn’t working.

Jacob can tell it’s just a few creatures glued together, plus some poorly concealed ceramic filler. It’s pretty obvious.

He had no idea he was such a stupid kid.

It reminds him of those photos of ghosts that are so feebly Photoshopped, or molded rubber feet made to make fake Bigfoot tracks, or that old famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster which was revealed to just be a thin wooden cut-out hoax…

All of the cool stuff in the world is fake, he realizes, as he runs his hands through his thinning hair.

Now… now, he feels like an adult for the first time.  And he hates it.
