There was a scorpion on the settlement

our class visited when I was 8 or 9, I don’t remember. 

Travis or Kevin picked up a rock and there it was, dark

and poised for the striking. Fascination spilled 

into pooled horror. I ran. 

 

Yesterday I called my father. Again the line rang and again

he did not pick up.

Aaron Bo Heimlich is an Illustrator and Cartoonist living in San Francisco, CA. He has been delighted by illustrating the imaginary and satirical from a young age, with his modern work remaining much the same. He hopes his preference for wry humor moves others to discuss and discern the meanings of his creations. He considers live conversation an aspect of his art; representative of folklore survived by oral exchange.
