Blood and sequins
I'm walking through a totally abandoned casino that almost seems like the set for a movie.
I go up a spiral staircase that leads up through the floor of a boudoir.
There's a huge bed in the center of the room,
and upon it are piled the bodies of ten violently slaughtered drag queens.
A spotlight on the bed causes prismatic reflections off the blood and the sequins.
All is still and silent.
Straining seawater
I'm walking through calf-high seawater, close to the shore.
I have a strainer attached to two loops of thick, heavy rubber.
I'm running the strainer along under the surface of the water
to catch long, brown, slimy creatures in.
They're extremely ugly, but a fine delicacy.
