plureality.wordpress.comPRJCT RBRTHMiranda exited the elevator into the lobby. Guests and staff moved about the elegant space with a low hum of pleasant chatter. There was no violence here, it was gone. There was no death here, just normality. It was beautiful but it was also eerie. Miranda was absolutely sure that the fighting had happened but now there was no sign that it had.

BLD Miranda knew that killing was part of the job. When she had been recruited by Omega Station 12 they had kept a lot of secrets from her but they had always been honest about that. She washed her face clean of blood in the hotel room. Morganfokker had gone upstairs to the penthouse to confront…

When she had been recruited by Omega Station 12 they had kept a lot of secrets from her but they had always been honest about that. She washed her face clean of blood in the hotel room. Morganfokker had gone upstairs to the penthouse to confront Miss Appeal. If she was even here.

There was no up or down, no stars to chart a course by, only an endless sea of silver mist illuminated by rivers of soft blue light. Her great white wings were folded tightly around her, wrapped like a comforting robe against a breeze that did not exist.

White-gloved doormen and valet drivers were shift changing. Every so often Miranda would catch her reflection, small and distant, in the glass of the front doors swinging open and shut, like eyes blinking, waking up from a dream.

Ten Things I Hate About Morganfokker Ten: The way he looks at me when I eat. He mostly eats the same as me, whatever's on the menus at the roadside diners we stop at. He never says anything about what I pick or how long it takes me to finish or if I leave stuff on the plate. But he almost sort of…

MRGNFKKR Mr. Wei said it was time to open the shop back up again. It had been a week since Mei's funeral. He had asked Miranda to keep working there, at least until they could find someone to take Mei's place. This wasn't what Miranda had expected when she agreed to the mission. She could only…

He had asked Miranda to keep working there, at least until they could find someone to take Mei's place. This wasn't what Miranda had expected when she agreed to the mission. She could only hope that she had successfully done what the Professor had needed her to do.

The Night of the Wolves felt like a dream to Miranda - she wasn't exactly sure what had happened but she had a lingering sense that things had worked out. She was equally uncertain about how she had started working at the Noodle House or renting the room upstairs. She helped out however she could and she hung out with Mei during their off hours.

Except for Jian “Red Fang” Luo, leader of the Wolves.

VLNRBL Rain hammered the alleyways of Kowloon Market like thrown nails, turning the neon reflections into rivers of blood-red light.

Steam rolled from sewer grates and noodle carts alike, carrying the scent of garlic oil, pork broth, and cigarette smoke into the midnight air. At the end of Lantern Street sat the Golden Dragon Noodle House. It was small. Old. Honest.

I got to hang out with Matthew a bit many many years ago and knew him as an exceptional poet. Glad to rediscover him using his thoughtfulness and insight for vital work.
