Hello reader,

Another Halloween has come and passed, but who says that means the horrors have to end? Along with November's Theatre calendar, and while the Christmas season begins to creep up on us, we will be updating the Patreon post with what we are watching this month as well.

APRILandALLEN's Theatre is an entry in APRILandALLEN’s Project Roadmap, our photo book and video log series where subscribed Patreon readers have access to archives with photos, captions and videos which will be collected in future APRILandALLEN’s books--learn about our Patreon at patreon.com/asquaredproductions to submit to our public poetry prompt and view more free features.

APRILandALLEN's Theatre - Nov 2023 Schedule

Also, April has a poetry prompt list to go with the Inktober 2023 drawing prompts! I will be participating by writing haiku based on her inks, using her drawing as a poetry prompt before reading her poem, and will share these haiku here and on the HaikuPrajna blog. Read April's poetry, check out her Inktober drawings and find the prompts to write your own poetry at instagram.com/electricarmchair

Our Inktober 2023 will continue through November’s National Novel Writing Month [NaNoWriMo 2023], and will culminate in a collection that we will release as a book; stay tuned, and check out the poems I shared in October on our Patreon for free!

His snout, searching dirt, //

finding one’s buried treasure, //

skeletons and ghosts.

He gives them sweet treats, //

his wheels lured to outstretched hands, //

A deficiency, //

swinging their one severed limb, //

venom to the heart.

20231026 - ULTRAVIOLET [Official Paperback Release]

Youtube Trailer https://youtu.be/_2B_9uR0yVg

...

Invisible lights / reveal the cosmos beyond. / Transcend the structure.

... Ultraviolet - #HaikuPrajna

Read online https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/2023/10/20231026-ultraviolet-official-paperback.html

...

Hello reader,

“ULTRAVIOLET”, the first chapter released in the “FLUKE!” series of metaphysical science fiction short stories, has been collected with “Hector Blake”, “Ado the Owl” and “Summond the Scarecrow” as a paperback--”Hector Blake” was unable to be released in a physical format by itself outside of Amazon, so I decided to link this series’ releases together.

Releases on Halloween, October 31st 2023!

Read everywhere books are available https://aprilandallen.square.site/product/book-ULTRAVIOLET/6

ULTRAVIOLET is the first in a series of metaphysical science fiction short stories about a superpowered cast living at the end of the 30th century. This story follows Elsa Todd, the Imprint, who can visualize ideas and deconstruct their holographic forms. Using her abilities to outline objects, Imprint contacts the cosmic Source, the first person narrator of the book’s third person narrative.

Inspired by literature as a medium for the ideas you will read about in ULTRAVIOLET, Imprint’s abilities were based on how we interact with ideas when we consume, read, write and create.

Also includes “Summond the Scarecrow” and “Ado the Owl” from “The Wisps Book”, and another chapter in the “FLUKE!” series, “Hector Blake”!

Blurb:

The Imprint tuned to the light of a clear blue sky. Speaking through the ultraviolet end of the visible spectrum, Imprint told the Source she had hit a roadblock in her project, that the microcosm’s dimension of time was frozen past a specific point.

The Source revealed that her problem was a non-issue, transcending Imprint’s macrocosm, which was a microcosm to the godform.

But Imprint realized that meant the Ultraviolet had claimed her abilities and endeavours as its own.

Desperate to reclaim her work, Imprint attempted to capture and transcend the godform, but only revealed the underlying structure of every cosmos in her effort.

...

Thank you for reading,

Until next time!

[Also contains "Ado the Owl - The Wisps Book II" by Allen W. McLean]

Hector Blake longed for the excitement of his old life.

He had awoken in a dark room, the walls of which being impervious to his intense pyrokinesis, to fend off an endless one-on-one assault of enemies. He was, a day prior, living in peaceful retirement back home on Titan, once being a renowned superhero across the Sol system.

Now, adversaries flood the room he had found himself in, and his tools and abilities are all that he can use to stave off exhaustion while fighting personifications of his slothful thoughts. Hector’s applied displays incinerated such hindrances while reinvigorating him--but can he keep the fire alive, let alone bright enough to face a stronger burning willpower?

...

This short story was published as part of "SM-SARA, Poetry and Other Stories", the second book in the HaikuPrajna collection.
