Folio Two, Page Forty-Two (svegra mos droskron tal-roh)

My door remained locked that night.

Dustmaiden22 had a backlog of responses to take care of. Trolling took more care and precision than I had originally thought. Two people had blasted me for my Tveshi spelling, calling me an ignorant brain-dead corpse-fucker. I had to access the Kobsarka Knowledge Center’s online dictionary subscriptions to figure out most of the slang, but the AI filtered some of the definitions because my household access point didn’t have adult clearance. Not only did my poor understanding of Tveshi hurt things, but some people accused me of being under the minimum posting age.

I constructed my responses more carefully this time. Using the Knowledge Center’s subscriptions, I found idioms and quotations that sounded more adult to me and replaced some words with things I found in a thesaurus. After crafting three responses in two hours, I realized that the present and past tense of the verb “to be” were the same word. It just hadn’t occurred to me before.

The edits on Volume and KnowThat held.

About the Author

When I had attained the ripe old age of five weeks, my parents brought me to an amateur astronomy convention called Stellafane. A journalist doing a piece on children at the convention recorded that my mother called me “a refugee from Betelgeuse,” a red giant star in the constellation Orion.

In a small American town, my mother revealed these origins to me and I set out on my life mission: to explore strange new places, to seek out new experiences and new perspectives; and to boldly pursue my dreams.


I graduated from high school in May 2005. By that time, I had several novel drafts, a large and brilliant constructed language, and notebooks of emo poetry to back up my claims to the Betelgeusian throne. At Smith College, I learned to hone my writing and editing skills. (My emo poetry from college only fills ¼ of a notebook.) I also developed a passion for current events, politics, public policy, astronomy, and literary science fiction.


Now, a recent Smith College graduate, I blog and go to grad school. My web novella, Akačehennyi on a Diet of Dreams, was completed earlier this year. I also write KALLISTI, a Hellenic Polytheist-oriented blog. My poetry has appeared in print in AlienSkin and in Eternal Haunted Summer.

Thanks for choosing to read Ossia. I hope you enjoy it and that you stick around for stories to come.
