Myan Chronicles Episode #1: The Mya Witch Project

For Bekah, who still thinks that Mya has a soul...

2012: We're not kidding this time...

The end is so near,

I can hear the waterfall.

Where are my floaties?

Mating Mantis Madness

Sexy business dance.

Nature happens next to me,

it must be peopled.

Goodbye Strauss

Goodbye for now, Strauss. We will miss you dearly. You were the best. You kept us all so happy for so long, and had a good run.

The Big, Hairy Beast

You were a friend to those inside our home,

and the fear of all outside.

You were the reason the UPS,

and the mailman hated us.

You devoured raw chicken and

gave it back to the green grass.

You barked at bicycles

and howled at music and song.

You listened politely to our every word,

though I doubt you understood much.

You roared like justice,

and slobbered like peace.

Bent and broken by age at last,

you came one last time when I called.

I remembered the holes you once dug

in the bushes by the fence,

as I scratched behind your ears

and whispered my farewell.

Only one hole remains to remind me,

but I have no dirt to fill it in.
