Symbiogenesis

by Ari Collins


I was just a co-dependent barnacle on Jane's whale, but I'm moving up. With Fanny I was a Crocodile Teeth Cleaning Service Bird. (And that's trust.) Then Katya really only wanted my bee to pollinate her flower. Fuck symbiosis.

With you... With you, I'm a mushroom growing on a fallen tree. And I'm getting big.

A correctly written story builds to a crescendo, only to have a quiet denouement which proves more powerful than the previous crashing verse.

This is such a story.
