Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: A mysterious crunch

They discovered a new kind of Aurora Borealis studying footage from three years ago, and it resulted from a strange compression in Earth’s magnetic field. So Earth’s magnetic field is under attack from an invisible enemy that can compress it and create whole new natural phenomena and we have no idea what’s happening. I mean, that’s the most reasonable theory. I’m not saying that the Earth’s magnetic field is being invaded by a sapient electromagnetic entity, but…

That’s it. I don’t have anything else here. Let’s do the Queue.


The Queue: A Christmas Wish

Some of us don’t celebrate the holidays due to being of a different religion or not any religion. Still others have personal reasons — a lost loved one, a personal philosophical decision, a change of heart — why they don’t or can’t. For much of my life, from the time my mother died in 1990 until 2006, I didn’t celebrate. Now, I mostly do just so I don’t ruin the day for my wife.

If for any reason you don’t or can’t celebrate, I hope that you have as good a day today as is possible for you. If you do celebrate? I wish the exact same thing for you. If I could, I would make today painless and festive for everyone, no matter what. But since I can’t, let’s embark on a Queue together.
