An Odis origin story from the point of view of the puppet himself.

This piece was written as an assignment for one of my graduate courses with the objective of discussing a problem facing annual school...

Did You See That Dinosaur? follows Ava and Mateo as they seek (and hide from!) prehistoric creatures in the Mesozoic Era.

It was an awkward moment when I suddenly saw something on my nose that I could not get off! The apparent phantasm was colorful...

For the institutions we hold dear, the places that inspired this weird journey with a puppet, a potentially dark future looms.

As wonderful and charismatic as Odis is, he was not entirely well constructed.

This is a time for action. Do the work.

A puppet like Odis comes with a personality. It was up to us to find it, and that did not necessarily happen right away.

Do like Odis and take a slice of your free time to tune into nature. Phase out whatever ugliness may be in your life for just a moment.
