Like a House on Fire

 A lot's happened since I started this blog. Most recently, a house fire (on February 28 of this year).

Everyone's fine: me, my parents, our two cats and our dog, Mila. It went something like this.

I was playing Skyrim and took a break to cook some potstickers. Next thing I knew, the stove was alight! I didn't panic (thanks, autistic brain) and my first thought was: This day just keeps getting better.

Ever have one of those moments when something just clicks? I did while I was trying to decide which things I wanted to keep. Three words popped into my mind: "This isn't home."

How could it be? This was the site of all my worst memories. The house where I lived in fear, the yard where a nail went through my foot; the bed where I was violated by a demonic being.

They can rebuild on the site; they can insist that everything's better than before. It'll never be true. Like Edward in Fullmetal Alchemist, I'm determined to go forward, not back.

For those who don't know, a chakat is a genetically engineered feline being. They're hermaphrodites, so you can imagine our love life. I'm not telling. So, the reason we're doing this is demonstrate that far from tearing us apart, our differences can bring us together, in life and love. They exchange a private look; Harri nods, smiling. At first, my misguided beliefs almost ended our relationship before it began. See, I honestly believed chakats were wicked and promiscuous. I soon learned that nothing could be farther from the truth. Since we met (Harri literally rescued me from myself) shi's been kindness itself. We've had our fights, our disagreements, but what couple hasn't? The ...

From the Author

Hi, it's me, the author of this blog. I'm looking through  my notebook and noting that the Kei and Harri stories are a bit rough. Some are in first person, some in third; some in present tense, others in past. So please be patient as I sort through, type up and post said stories. Hopefully I'll have a new chapter up soon. Maybe even some folks reading said chapter.
