There’s a kingdom at the bottom of the lake, down amongst the discarded shopping carts and plastic bags and cinder blocks. I wonder why they never visit us up here, what they spend their days doing down in the murk. Do they gaze up at the surface and imagine a world of boat-bottoms and humans’ lower halves? A civilization of those kicking legs they’ve seen treading water, paling in the cold? Or perhaps they wonder how a world could be so full of shopping carts, plastic bags and cinder blocks that its inhabitants must dump them in a lake. And with that, I no longer wonder why they never visit. PS: My new book featuring 50 all-new micro-stories just came out! It's my first book with a bigger publisher and I'd love if you could check it out!
