The Last Op-Ed At The End of the World by Thomas L. Friedman

The Last Op-Ed At The End of the World by Thomas L. Friedman

By Michael Maiello

CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS -- Here we are, at the edge of humanity’s last gasp. I am writing from the beach, watching the sun rise over the Gulf of Mexico/America, enjoying the same “rosy-fingered dawn” that enchanted Greek storytellers like Homer.

On the shore of Lake Ladoga

By Valeriia Temkina

In my work I primarily deal with the themes of memory, locality, and "difficult heritage". The photos were taken on the shore of Lake Ladoga, where the Vuokhensalo lighthouse stands. But it is hidden in the fog. And when the fog cleared, I ran out of film.

In the Dark, Things Grow — Irpinia

By Roberta Cicinskaitė

Irpinia is not on most maps that matter to tourists. It sits inland, in the Campania region of southern Italy, tucked into the folds of the Apennine mountains, far from the Amalfi Coast, far from Naples, far from anywhere that appears on a postcard.

SUDDENLY, ANOTHER FISH

By Scot N. Moir

A fast moving river in northern climes. Early spring (perhaps March), banks frozen solid. A thin artery of dark, icy water snakes down the thawed centre, with ice flows of various size careering down the centre of that.

A Taste of Armageddon: Navigating Star Trek’s Post-Catastrophe Era

By Stephen Lee Naish

Post-apocalyptic narratives often take place deep into the future and depict an environment that is barren, resource deprived and ruled by monstrous warlords.

What Might It Be?

By Stacy Boone

In the end, I only had a flash of a second to see it from my window. It wasn’t the warring factions of political parties. Nor was it artificial intelligence and the illusion that humans were still thinking for themselves.

Where Light in Darkness Lies

By Claire Cansick

The sea is, at the moment, my main subject; I utilise thin layers of oil, diluted with various mediums, to create undulating, sensuous movement on the surface, imitating the complex facets of waves, meditative, repetitive, yet never the same.

The end of the world is a river

By Julian Dobson and Ella Hubbard

In Dante’s Inferno, Hell has four stinking rivers. Less well known are the two in Purgatorio: Lethe, for forgetting past wrongs, and Eunoe, a flow of restored and reordered memory before entering paradise.

Big Cougar Island

It rained 165 days the year we moved to Big Cougar Island. Though, at the right time of year, not a drop of rain is to be seen; at the right time of year, the island is only fair weather.

Of raddle and cattle: mapping the story

By Jenny Mitchell

I draw a line on a slightly downwards slope from the Meander River in the top right of my map to Mole Creek. This represents the cattle route surveyed in January 1827 for the Van Diemen’s Land Company by Joseph Fossey. Fossey’s track became the Mole Creek Road.
