Suppose I told you that you are a threadbare olive drab green army tunic, hued by the reds and browns of the soil that muddies the land between the Belgian coast and the Swiss border.
Dear watchers of The WOT,

Dear Olive Smith
There’s this scene at the beginning of Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis where you slump inelegantly against the tiled wall of the Stanford biology department restroom and weep. You woefully admit to having been using expired contact lenses. Then, you tell a concerned stranger (who we now know to be Adam) that “expiration dates are for the weak” and let me tell you, my entire world went off its axis.
That, Ms. Smith, is the line in the book that got me writing again.

For Mr. Bilbo Baggins…
No longer do hobbit-holes emerge from the side of hills, within tunnels and on the other side of circular front doors painted green. In our modern world, these dwellings exist as ordinary humans’ places of residence, supplemented by meals and television programs waiting to be watched. No longer are hobbits rare nor “shy of big people” (Tolkien 15). Modern day hobbits are the big people.
No longer are hobbits rare nor “shy of big people”. Modern day hobbits are the big people.
-Kananelo Tsuene

There is only one other way one can step into the shoes of a biological scientist without having to read a single word off of a biology textbook or spend years trying to find out why there still isn’t an easier way to pronounce scientific words like paracetamol or Mitochondria. For years now, mere writers have managed to crack the age-old secret to artificial reproduction with just the simple use of a ball-point pen, sheet of some lined paper and some unbridled, never-before-seen characterization. Rhodes University student and creator of fictional character ‘Jazrazor’ Daniel Soverall knows the secret, and he is about to let us in on it.
