“Humans' Bistro” You are what we eat!
In a not-too-distant future, humanity has brought the world to the brink of destruction. Habitats have been ravaged, creatures have been mercilessly consumed, and the delicate balance of nature has been disrupted.
In a clandestine gathering, the animals come together, led by the clever and sociable Jack Rabbit, aptly named Jack. They realize survival can only be achieved by a drastic change in their ways. Instead of perpetuating the cycle of devouring one another, they conceive a daring plan. They create a series of culturally specific restaurants where humans become the main course.
With newfound determination, the animals transform a dilapidated town and rebrand it Foodville, a place where all creatures can indulge in their cravings for human flesh — to rid the world of the parasitically destructive humans.
Amidst the ensuing chaos, an unexpected romance blossoms between Mr. Wendal, a mischievous hyena, and Cantaloupe, a vegan antelope, who only eats cantaloupes while listening to “Cantaloop” by the British jazz hip hop group Us3.
Interwoven with these events is the tale of a loving grandmother and a cantankerous grandfather, who captivate their fifteen grandchildren with enchanting stories. Drawing inspiration from classics like “The Princess Bride” and “Big Fish,” the grandparents regale their young audience with tales of adventure, love, and animals reclaiming their rightful place in the world.
In a spine-chilling twist, the grandparents reveal their true identities as ethereal beings, guardians of the Animal Kingdom with insatiable appetites for venison.
Driven by their newfound power, the animals forsake their empathy and compassion, mirroring the destructive behaviors they once vehemently opposed.
With heavy hearts and a newfound understanding of the interconnectedness of all life, the surviving animals and humans unite to rebuild their shattered world. They vow to honour the memory of those who have been consumed and strive for a future where harmony prevails.
At the heart of it all, “Humans’ Bistro” stands as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life, the consequences of our choices, and the enduring power of love in the face of tragedy.

“Humans’ Bistro” You are what we eat!
Humans’ Bistro is a story about humans causing destruction in the world due to unchecked late-stage capitalism. The animal world devises a plan to stop consuming each other and instead focus on eating the very beings responsible for their peril – humans.
They create a fantasy world called Foodville, where animals open restaurants serving human flesh. It’s important to emphasize this is purely a fantasy, as if it could be anything but.
There is a specific formula to follow: if an animal wants to eat vegetarian food, the source of the human flesh must come from individuals who eat at least 80% vegetarian dishes themselves.

My Life
Oh, dear friend, let me lend an ear, to the story you seek to share and hear.
Born in shadows, scratching for light, a journey weaves through darkness and bright.
Breathe, run, and play, embracing the thrill, yet sometimes we stumble and fall down still.
Sports shape us, teach us to rise once more, stitched together, stronger than before.
A slight limp may walk beside you with grace, a reminder of battles you bravely embrace.
As you move forward, secrets may unfold, the light darkens, a mystery to behold.
Pieces cobbled back together with care, revealing glimpses of who you are there.
But why the secrecy, the hidden desire?
Questions whisper in your mind’s fire.
A health scare comes knocking on your door, drinks offer solace you can’t ignore.
Another scare arrives with a warning bell, but fear not, for you’ll be stitched up well.
Better than new, you shall rise above, a pill caddy filled with strength and love.
Every day brings healing and light, with determination, you’ll win this fight.
And if the question lingers in your mind, can you stop taking what fate has assigned?
Remember, dear friend, it’s your choice to make, to embark on a journey of wellness and break.
So, take a deep breath, stand tall and strong, know in your heart, you truly belong.
Stitched together with resilience anew, embrace each day and let your spirit shine through.

We Remember the Darts
In the vallance of existence, “We Remember the Darts” traces the intertwined threads of Madeline and Roger—two souls whose towering dreams have withered within the harsh confines of life’s jumble. Haunted by the specter of mediocrity, they wade through the fog of societal norms and the seductive glitter of material desires, oblivious to the quintessential spirit of their being, a spirit that thirsts for liberation.
Within the pages of this narrative, the duo embarks on an odyssey to reclaim their forgotten echoes of yesteryear, to decipher the perplexity that has ensnared their potential in its viscous web. With unwavering resolve, they set out to shatter the shackles ensnaring them, to unearth the treasure trove of their limitless selves.
Their odyssey unravels as a mosaic wherein the shards of art, humour, poetry, and soul-searching coalesce into a masterful symphony. Every memory they trailblaze is akin to a dart, soaring through time, embedding its sting deep into their essence.
Amidst love’s embrace and its subsequent void, their victories and woes, each chapter weaves itself into their collective saga, sculpting their very beings, directing their choices.
Amid bouts of mirth and rivulets of sorrow, Madeline, and Roger grapple with the magnitude these flickers of time impose upon their journey. They wrestle with echoes of pleasure and torment, readying themselves for the daunting quest of severance from these defining anchors.
Their sojourn is rendered a silent hymn to the grandeur of life—a compelling tapestry adorned with both grandiose and modest fragments, each deserving of reverence and reflection.
In navigating the labyrinth of self-reflection, they discover indomitable resilience, boundless compassion, and the sagacity to cradle their vulnerabilities. Through the act of acknowledging and venerating each shard of their chronicle—be it drenched in joy or cloaked in sorrow—they inch closer to the zenith of their essence. Embarked together, they unweave the knots of yesternight and emerge bathed in the light of purpose, wrapped in the clarity of dawn.
“We Remember the Darts” stands as an ode to the indomitable human quintessence, the alchemy of introspection that molds existence.
Reborn from their introspective pilgrimage, Madeline and Roger step forth with invigorated zest, a broader vista, and an intimate veneration for the medley of instants that chisel their odyssey.

We Remember the Darts
Madeline and Roger, entwined by fate’s fickle fingers, chart their course through life’s labyrinthine gauntlet—a maze wrought with the weavings of family ties, the ebb and flow of love, the poignant sting of loss, the intricate dance of relationships, the steadfast pursuit of career ambitions, and the haunting allure of dreams just beyond their grasp.
In the heart of this maze lies an enigmatic haven known as the “Dart Board,” a sanctuary presided over by the ever-insightful Cassandra.
This mystical tavern harbours a board of destiny where each thrown dart pierces the veil between reality and revelation, offering glimpses of introspection, igniting sparks of outrageous comedy, and kindling the flames of a quest to unveil the essence of their being—their quintessential purpose.
And, with each soul-searing throw, Madeline and Roger embark upon an odyssey to grasp the elusive threads of what it truly means to be alive.
Here, within the walls of the “Dart Board,” they learn that sometimes the darts inflict wounds no trite consolation or well-meaning counsel can soothe, marking the soul indelibly in their unforgiving passage to truth.
