Day 21

The Parable of the Desert

Stormy Desert

This Afro-future speculative fiction about the Southwest and the fate of the three cities in the desert when the water runs dry was written by @drsarratekola (an original drylab participant) and inspired by the books Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler.

The questions were inspired and taken (the ones in quotations) from Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira

This was a work of science and fiction – the information presented here before 2024 did actually happen and the scenes were designed based off the path we on now.
