ANIMATION SERIes: LINES FROM REJECTED STORIES
Featured lines are from my rejected story, “VICEROY”.
Dore waits, watching for the mistaken monarchs — the bright oranges and golds — to abandon the branches, leaving the tree stripped and exposed, unrecognizable from just a moment before. Or maybe, Dore thinks, the butterflies will decide to tighten their delicate hold — a grip soft enough to balance on the stamen of a flower — and rip the tree from the ground, tear it away from the earth and pull it into the air. It’s a spectacle that could make headlines: as curious as the boy in the bubble or a two-headed snake or an unexplained mist that manifests into a heavenly figure. But mostly, likely, Dore thinks, that sort of show will go unnoticed. There is little left to surprise us — that we haven’t seen already. So too, a tree can simply fly away without much fanfare, without fuss – to find somewhere with yielding and healthy ground. Where its roots can settle and hold on.
