Assimilation Stories

Rituals of Belonging is a story for anyone who has ever walked into a room and felt slightly smaller, quieter, or out of place. It speaks to those moments when a look, a question, or a silence makes you wonder where you truly belong. This novel follows people who carry their homes in memories, who try to fit into worlds that never fully open their arms. It is honest, emotional, and deeply human, a reminder that behind every accent, every name, and every struggle, there is someone simply trying to be seen. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQBZT5CQ

An Introduction There are a lot of things that worry me- running, saying "hi" to people in the hallway, the inevitable demise of Earth via wormhole, and most of all making choices. And though this collection started off as a reflection on my last visit to India, during the summer of 2010, it strayed from course. It came to be a collection of pieces about anything that inspired me to write. Thus, I figured this would be better served as an introduction to what first inspired me to put pen to paper. As a child I combatted the aforementioned worries( running, wormhole, choices etc) alongside my equal parts stubborn and loyal imaginary friend, Lola, who was based loosely on the fiery redheaded sister from the cartoon about the pre-maturely balding four year old, Caillu. However, as I got older and it became culturally inappropriate to have entire conversations with myself in public, I began jotting these thoughts down. I wrote about the Martians I insisted inhabited space instead of recording phases of the moon in my lunar log, and created backstories for the bird inside our cookoo clock. This collection of pieces isn't much different, yes it stems from that trip, the cultural differences between India and America, but beyond that it is a series of my purely fictional accounts of some of my observations. I would also like to add that the poems are not necessarily from my pov even when I use "I".

The Assimilation Act. An act of pure war, hatred, and crime. A hatred of people, the republic. A hatred of negotiable nationalism. A hatred of any sound, any look, any person out of line: out of the guidelines, unassimilated. /short story/

"We own nothing, but we are happy..." "We are one with the Blessed, and the Blessed are one with us." It's the mantra we live by, like my name. Not the whole thing, I mean. Mantra. That's my name. I'm 17, and about to graduate school to be assigned a lifelong partner and task so I can contribute the best I have to the community I serve. We serve. The Blessed Ones saved our civilization from catastrophe, and we honor them by giving back to the community, working as a whole to make sure nobody goes hungry, or sleeps outside, or is alone ever again. Tasks are separated by colors- Blue for education, Purple for medical, Gold for political, Red for military, and so on. There are rules to live by. Of course, there always are. Rules keep us safe. Noone will have to face the Five Stages of Regret unless they break those rules. Like the group of terrorists that call themselves the HONEST. They insist that we are in real danger, that we don't belong here and if we don't escape we will all die. Escape from what? We are all happy. Perfectly...happy...

Glass Weather" explores the architecture of power inside institutional spaces-how visibility can distort as much as it reveals. The poem extends the metaphor of glass beyond the familiar ceiling, imagining an entire climate shaped by inheritance, tone, and unspoken agreements. I was interested in stillness as a form of authority: influence that does not announce itself, resistance that does not always roar. The speaker navigates systems that test gravity unevenly, where identity refracts experience rather than dilutes it. Ultimately, this poem asks what it means to inhabit space without shrinking, to remain intact without hardening, and to recognize that sometimes the barrier was never as solid as it seemed.

This is a story about a Native American man named David(Ta:wet) and his memory before and after his experiences in Residential School.

The Gondia summery: The Gondia are any human or parahuman that has been assimilated by the symbiotic alien plant Cerebrivinea Lacutis.
