Jacob-- I love your writing. Although you haven't included any of your dystopian novel here, I can't wait to read more of it.
As for what you have included, I love your detail and the humor in the Alien story. You have a way of hooking the reader, leaving the reader wanting more. And I really enjoy your poetry. I especially love On a Cold Winter Day. I can really visualize what you're describing.
1/16/23: I hadn't read your Time poem before, and I love it. Your description is specific, both common place and unique. And I like the repeition.
