#404 — DEAD OR ALIVE

“Earth Day” 404

Two weeks ago, Smillew Rahcuef honored me with the #404 “missing page” spot in “Dead or Alive”. I happily accepted it, checked out the date, falls on Earth Day. A double whammy! Kind of like Trans Visibility Day and Easter on the same day this year. F*cks News had a pissy fit. But, what can I do with it? I know, I’ll share it with Medium’s #1 collaborator, Debdutta Pal :-)

Do you ever pause midway, unable to place how you got there?

We know the past, are busy bickering over the present, and fear the future. Like most people, I could let my meandering thoughts eradicate my bones.

Instead, I choose action. However baffling it gets, I don’t stop exploring.

“Code Red! Code Red!”

“What is it?”

“Stephanie is in Holodek eight.”

“Eight? How did she gain access?!”

“AlIce beamed her in. She’s cloaked herself as Steph’s mom.”

“Mamá, ¿dónde has estado?” where have you been?
