A new short story!
This one is about war. War in a faraway, fantasy place. But war nonetheless.

In these times of despair, here is a hopeful story - “A New Faith”.

Right. Introduction post.
It’s a little complicated (and probably too long and too much).
I’ve been lieven for a few years now but it’s not my actual name. My real name is that rare I can find only about 5 people with the same name in the world (but none with the same spelling). Seemingly I’m the only one in Europe, at least in modern times.
That’s what happens when you choose your name with care and take a few years to find it. My previous name was also rare though shared with a famous cartoon (not intentional). There’s a story why that name became history too. Maybe one day I’ll share.
The name originally given to me came alongside a traumatising religious event by the two people who ended up abusing me until I was removed from the home at 13 and those two eventually had a judge revoke their parental rights.
I take a lot of pride in the person I’ve become – me. It was not easy to get here. At the same time, there’s still a lot of lingering trauma and I’ve yet to find my tribe.
As an outspoken queer neurodivergent mixed-race writer who consistently writes about society’s errors and highlights the lives of the vulnerable among us I’ve made a lot of enemies and have seen a lot of violence.
I’m an activist who doesn’t hold up a protest sign but a mirror.
Proud as I am of my identity, I am also deliberately anonymous online. Not by choice, but for my safety. I hope you understand.
That said, I am very much human. Too human, at times.
I care and am fiercely political. Given my identity I have no choice. I wish more people cared.
Beyond all that, I mentor queer youth. I am a storyteller and help others tell their stories. I am an artist who works primarily online, with text; sound and sometimes animation.
I build pretty little confrontational worlds.
I have a diverse professional background and am occasionally hired to do other things as well. Sometimes you just need the money.
I’m a millennial but I’ve come to the conclusion linear time no longer serves me.
If I am not online I am probably working out, reading or sleeping.
I’m barophobic but that’s only sensible.
Want to seduce me? Contemporary art, politics, music, sustainability, interior design, fashion and empathy turn me on. As long as you make an effort and don’t just go for the easy and the obvious.
The fediverse seems a nicer, better, place to be. I’m glad I’m finally here.

A pile of old cars, dropped through a narrow opening, cascades into this abandoned Welsh slate mine. Daylight streams in from the same hole, illuminating twisted wreckages. Certainly. a strange site that raises questions and stirs emotions.
What do you see here? An unusually beautiful scene, accidentally created from careless dumping? Or nothing more than an ugly pile of trash?

PSA - I know what it is, but I am bored and feeling silly ;)
