The Children of Mike: A story of the estranged human severed from ancient kinship. A collection of mischievous tales in which the more-than-human-world offers counsel to the lost human.

Once upon a time, once below a time, once between a time, once outside a time. There was the Microbe. Before God and before hubris. Mike the shapeshifter. Mike the subversive. Did you know that most of your cells aren’t human cells? You are mostly bacteria. What happens when your bacteria is starved, degraded and lonely?

The story asks: Whose world is this? Do you own the pavement beneath your feet? Do you see the invisible faces on the street? We live in boxes and walk in lines.

The human used to move with grace and humility. The human used to seek council and responsibility. What must we do to save our lonely souls, to save our lonely soils, to save our lonely rock?
