Do you see that you and I are on a journey together? Are we in a caravan crossing the Syrian dessert walking towards a golden sun on the silk road? Or are we at the helm of a great ship, sailing towards the New World? Or perhaps we're simply two travelers, you on your path and me on mine, but marching like pioneers towards the unknown frontier?
I've decided to resurrect this old blog. I found it in the ruble of days gone by, from the same place we stash our old selves, from whence our most embarrassing yet most honest selves still wander the deserted streets of history. Do you remember that place? It's where your abandoned toys still live. Where your beloved pet still nestles up to you at night. It is, unfortunately, not a popular destination. It's the past, and what we like to hear now is that what's in the past should stay in the past. Well, with just a dash of promise here and a pinch of energy there, such a thing from the past can rise like a glorious Lazarus to be with old friends again.
Welcome back old friend.
The project of this blog is simple: I will write a new piece of fiction every week for the next year, my writing prompts will come from a random photo generator, and I will publish these little darlings every week. That's 52 new stories, vignettes, explorations, colorings, stream of conscious--what have you--by the end of my journey.
So look around one more time. Do you see the journey we are about to take? What do you say, shall we find ourselves in wonderland?
