CURRENT STORY: Syconium
One fine day in the year 2191, a young artist in training, VFRHXXX, observes a captive act between two
wolves underneath a fig tree. This introduces her to the power of sex, and its influences beyond rational
thought. The power of possession and basal instinct captures her imagination.
She desires this power for her own art, which explores the invisible, abstract world underpinning
society. However, a phase of artistic experimentation in which sex becomes a chthonic element of her
paintings ends in near-total failure. Now what?
