into the depths
Thalia flaps her mermaid’s tail. “Who knew pluhhhh-king from plants could take us under the seeeee?”
“Dogwood berry stems and leaves make mighty fine coral.” Nia appreciates the shadow effect.
“Two days in a row…” Calliope slips on her sneakers, “… cooperation? C’mon Henny… Let’s go for a walk.”
We have met the enemy and he is us.

A note from LoveLetterist:
I ran into a post on LinkedIn this morning that asked if Aldous Huxley and George Orwell's predictions are coming true.
The question I have is...
Who is responsible for creating our future?
Holy piscatorial pulchritude!! As a young whippersnapper I enjoyed finding then deploying that type of wording. Real words with uncommon sounding components. There’s a chance I still do so today. 🙃
I’m not certain which drawing by Mr. Ortiz served as your inspiration. I feel somewhat more certain that your drawing is one of your recent “life’s work” pieces! Not one jotted down in a jiffy. From this fabulous fish to the carefully executed dogwood branch shadows! The product of a recent viral fever dream?
Whatever happened, Gail, this is certainly a keeper! I can’t help wondering if you’re advancing your paintist/drawist skills to be able to illustrate your next book with skills to match your writing?🤔
