“The Zoros and the Zeldas” appears in Birdy #111, March 2023, with art by Jack Estenssoro. I had great fun writing this one, a trippy comedic sci-fi dialogue at a fast-food drive-through:
Yeah, I’m good, I’m good. I think. Am I in danger? Is this some kind of experiment?
It’s an experiment to see if you’re too high to go through a drive-through, I guess.
Am I hallucinating?
You tell me, dude.
I’m seeing, like, a small gray alien with giant bug eyes and a tiny mouth. And, and uh, you’re wearing a Bubba’s Burgers hat and T-shirt, and … fuck. I am hallucinating.
Been there. I am an alien though.
