Sixteen months before the tragic and shocking shooting of M’traliel on the beach at Lake Winnipesaukee, a mood of optimism was implicit and pervasive throughout all the Arrhazonan team’s doings. This was especially so on the night of their White House reception, their formal coming out of sorts, to America.
Already in the White House and [...]

We approach our lakefront home from waterside, incoming at a height barely above the gently rolling waves, waves stirred by the northward blowing, light spring breeze.
Jahrae loves flying low to the lakewater. Usually she is unable take us quite this low, what with boaters about the lake in summertime, but it is not yet the [...]

Four and a half months prior to the astoundingly quick, world-shaking, and precedent setting toppling of the Myanmar regime, where llhaesa and M’traliel teamed with the Buddhist monks to facilitate its happening, the White House held a state dinner in honour of the Arrhazonans.
This was a formal attire fare affair, and both llhaesa and Jahrae [...]

Jahrae felt at a loss for words, though she did brokenly choke out an emotion-laden “thank you so much, llhaesa!”
Carried on board was Jahrae’s obvious wish when she sprang into llhaesa’s arms, a wish with which llhaesa happily and easily complied and fulfilled.
Although tall, llhaesa was rather lanky, now as she was when she and [...]

Hours after returning to Equality, the entirety of the family gathered for dinner in the Dining Hall.
Once on board, Jahrae saw to the Salston’s need for living space, and with this done, she set out for the Dining Hall, requesting reservations for a party of fourteen. This number included Elsrensia, for the connection between Ronnie [...]

Llhaesa returned to sit with the group of Jamila, Jahrae, Ronnie, and Elsrensia, riding the wave of adrenaline and hormones that stirred within during the performance and subsequent sharing of her condition and outlook with the audience.
Jahrae was in obvious tears; there was no hiding the tears from anyone with her on the stage, sitting [...]

Their assiduous and fervid day began precisely at llhaesa’s proclaimed time, with the down-flyers gathered in the waiting room of the ship’s massive hangar.
Llhaesa, Jahrae, Elsrensia, and Ronnie would make the trip alone, their first flight unaccompanied by one of the ship’s crew. The grandmothers would oversee the children, from class time through bedtime, just [...]

The descent was as usual, professional, uneventful, and flawless, yet spectacular in the viewing. Their eyes drawn to the cockpit windows and the side portals, passengers watched a dazzling display of colour surround the craft as it slid through the ever-thickening atmosphere, slowing and manoeuvring toward its precise intended destination.
The craft landed in Washington, returning [...]

For the first time since llhaesa’s release from custody, Jahrae, llhaesa and Ronnie gathered privately and together to discuss the children, as well as their collective future.
Choosing to dine quietly, the maitre d’ seated the three diners away from the mainstream gathering of guests in the dining hall, but near one of the large portals [...]

Acting President Green scheduled a fifteen-minute broadcast to speak to the American people. By extension, his words would reach out across the world, addressing the wild stories and rumours in circulation.
There was no intent on Bill Green’s part to share everything known to the government, just enough information to mitigate the rampant rumours running amok, [...]

Over the past seven months, writing the individual stories of llhaesa and Jahrae, as well as their common story, has taken a special place in my heart.
There are some elements, those with playful exchanges, or those where discussion is heavier, that grab hold of my emotions, sometimes even grab hold of my thoughts, weighing upon me during the day.
llhaesa’s story has been welling inside of me for some significant time in rough form. The story is a by-product of coping with gender dysphoria, of being a feminist and a lesbian, and dealing with all the issues related to being lgbt through my life, from closet to post-coming out; while finding – or perhaps stumbling - my way through.
Music is the catalyst, a translator of raw sensory information and feelings, that helps me take the cloud forming in my mind and shape it into story. Sometimes this is via the lyrics, other times through the melody, sometimes simply by way of the sound of an individual instrument.
Musical influences come from Delerium; Beth Orton; Dar Williams; Joan Armatrading; Sarah McLachlan; Tori Amos; Natalie Merchant; Heather Nova; Tracy Chapman; Linda Perry; Alanis Morissette; Bruce Springsteen; Brooke White; Roxy Music; and many others.
There is no order to the posting of story elements or in writing them; each is posted randomly in time, of character, of place - much like how we might share stories from our lives with another. There are times when I will string together elements, and that pattern is evident in the rescue of llhaesa and the subsequent reunion.
Most of the novel is told via a narrator; with one exception. Writing llhaesa’s last day from her perspective - what she experiences, what she sees unfold around her, how she views and reacts to these things – seemed more compelling and interesting. I added one final element to this that actually is not of her last day on Arrhazon, but in her coming out here.
There are six posts told from llhaesa’s real time experience. These story elements (in her words I-VI) are the most interesting and fun to write, as well as the most emotionally draining. As I write this, 29 posts remain in book one, and the last ten have proven the most demanding emotionally.
Some of the story involves an element of science fiction, necessary to bridge the connection between the two worlds, the disconnects, the reconnects. It is not my intent to fashion a tale of science fiction, and the parts that touch on it will remain an essential minimum. The true intent is to share a humanist and feminist story, one where two worlds struggle to find their way to gender equality. The main protagonists are lesbian, and we get to see where at least on one world, this is no issue. Our world can have issue with us, and in this story, one gets to watch as both worlds find their way to creating more accepting and equal societies. The next book will find llhaesa facing this issue square on.
The story consists of 300 individual elements, which when collectively read forms a story of book length. As written currently and displayed on the blog, this is a rough draft; changes will likely be made over time to already published elements.
This is Book One, as what follows post 300 will best be framed into its own book. The second will address issues that will be at once interesting and challenging to explore and contemplate - building upon the story told in Book One. Llhaesa, drawing upon idealism, optimism, and an incredible ability to motivate, will tackle issues in ways I believe most all of us in the lesbian community would wish to see unfold in actuality. If nothing else, the story allows us to get lost in fantasy for a while.
While the title is ‘world’s undone,' this is really the life story of and the results triggered by an incredibly talented musician and activist. Llhaesa refuses to sit idly by while gender discrimination harms the women of her world and freedom is lost on one world, paying a terrible price for her effort. When she resurfaces here, now it is our turn to face her challenges to a world resulting from her unrelenting vision and dreams.
Jahrae, while prominent throughout the story, is sort of the unsung hero, the person who grows through the story to become a formidable presence in her own right. This is by design, and her growth is a perfect match to llhaesa, who needs someone to challenge and inspire her to new learning, to new creativity.
As I wrote the story, note that I originally did not plan on having the children parented by Jahrae, Ronnie, and llhaesa. Initially my intent was for friction to build, to show that sometimes we run into difficulty seeing eye to eye with our spouses. In the end, I could not do this, for my idealism and optimism, of trying to craft something as it should be, got in the way.
