IMAGINE A RUIN so strange it must never have happened. First, picture the forest. I want you to be its conscience, the eyes in the trees. The trees are columns of slick, brindled bark like muscular animals overgrown beyond all reason. Every space is filled with life: delicate, poisonous frogs war-painted like skeletons, clutched in copulation, secreting their precious eggs onto dripping leaves. Vines strangling their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight. The breathing of monkeys. A…

Van Winkle decided that he would go and try to find the place where the small men were bowling. As he walked up the path it was a lot more overgrown than he remembered, but he continued on. When he arrived at the place it was full of water, a stream running down the the mountain. Then he thought that he should go back home even though he didn’t want to here the nitpicking from…

completely control .The black beady irises glare down at the trees surrounded yellow, like onyx gems, suspended in a sea of amber - imperial, powerful and distant. It glared at the ground, where the tree trunks parted to allow for an overgrown, seldom travelled path which saw a human scurry along in fear once in a decade because it’s a jungle out…
