The sorcerous fire billowed out almost lazily, its flames streaked purple and pink.

Horrifying in its complete silence, the flames neither crackled nor did any sound mark its passage through the air. Its rushing passage through the room even seemed to suck in all the surrounding sound and heat.

A brittle cackling filled the chamber as the unnatural flames spread like a bestial claw to envelop her. She instinctively brought her arms up, even though she knew it wouldn't protect her from the flames.

She squeezed her eyes shut.

And then felt herself flung back.

She hit the permacrete floor hard, a gasp of shock and pain escaping her lips. She opened her eyes, her vision blurred.

She glimpsed a stooped, rail-thin silhouette facing the onrushing wall of the sorcerous fire. A wall of fire that evanesced into motes of light and dust around the figure.

The cackling turned into a piercing howl of anger. The sorcerous flames brightened, glowing brighter in intensity, the permacrete softening and running like wax. And, yet, the flames didn't touch the shadowed figure.

Instead, the flames curled, their path splitting as they rent the air.

She shook her head, not trusting her vision.

The rail-thin silhouette came into focus, despite the glare of the flames. Shoulder length dirty-looking, greyish hair blocked any view of his face. The stoop-shouldered man dressed in faded Guard fatigues and boots stood unflinching before the flames, hands shoved into his pockets.

And, yet, she had the feeling that this man was not so much unflinching and unafraid as he was indifferent and uncaring to the situation he found himself in.

She blinked as she pushed herself upright, pulling her back-up pistol from the ankle holster on her boot.

A ghostly voice spoke up, clipped, quick and devoid of feeling, yet clear against the backdrop of howls and screams. Her eyes widened as she looked at the man ahead of her.

"Hollow bids Dust, hands cross the moon's face, the fla-," the voice began, and then rose in volume as lasbolts flew over his head. "Oh, pike this! 'REE, WHERE THE BLOODY 'ELL ARE YOU!?"

“Fiat lux! If you want to talk improbable, let’s talk about this”—a scrape of stone on stone—“being three thousand and some years older than this.” A heavy clunk.

“Inexplicable, Warden.”

“Certainly not. Like everything else in this ridiculous conglomeration of cooling gas, it’s perfectly explicable, I just need to explic-it.”

“Indubitable, Warden.”

“Stop that. I need you listening, not racking your brain for rare negatives. Either this entire building was scavenged from a garbage hopper, or I am being systematically lied to on a molecular level.”

“Maybe the building’s shy.”

“That is just tough shit for the building.”

Section 1: A Spoilerific Gush on How Octavia Butler turns me on: adrienne maree brown

If you want to create an effective hook for writing, consider a phrase like “I once sat on Octavia Butler’s face.” Once you can step past that particular land-mine, the truth of adrienee’s writing becomes clearer. Her longing and sexual connection to Butler is two-toned, both in her sexual writing, and her interworking pleasure into writing. brown argues that Butler was liberated, in that so many things served to be erotic like interspecies sex, threesomes, shapeshifting, male pregnancy, age gaps, incest, symbiotic sexual experiences, and communities.

While plenty of ethical questions might arise from some of these categories, the freedom to picture such encounters and expand the mind’s idea of what pleasure can look like, may ground us in an entirely different way. To feel more connected with our shunned or taboo tendencies (within legal presidency, of course.) While I find Butler’s gripping and harrowing description of incestual breeding, the idea cannot be condoned or furthered in my mind, considering our real-world epidemic of childhood sexual assault. Butler brings up difficult and mighty ethical dilemmas, and she isn’t afraid to see them through, but I certainly am.

adrienne’s connection to Butler, and her musing about what could have happened if she flirted with Octavia is a spectacularly human feeling, and it makes me laugh considering that both people would be regarded as influential and famous within their own rights. It’s good to know they still have the same problems as the rest of us.
