Sources of Inspiration: Rituals

by

Clasping my hands together. Muttering words filled with meaning I don’t consider, as I chant them as fast as an army recruit doing push-ups. Walking in a circle, my hands linked with others as we move together. Singing the same words I chanted in a chamber, where they echo, looking up at art, meant to express the divine. Offering any number of things on an altar as an act of sacrifice.  These are just a number of things which can be part of a ritual.  Rituals offer insight into a person, a place, or a culture. Rituals re-imagined can develop … Read more

Genre: Sci-Fi, Dystopian, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Ulysses Get It On Amazon About The Book What am I? That’s the question Riel has been running from his entire life. T.A.D.—the corporation that became a totalitarian regime—dissolved Europe’s nations, erased its borders, and engineered a replacement. New Europa. One language. One order.

T.A.D. calls itself progress. But progress has always had owners. Nineteen years old. Never Integrated. In a world where that … Read more
