Tongue of Fire

“Broken Levees” threads together Sumerian floods, New Orleans trauma, and the quiet disasters we inherit. Dust witnesses who gets the boat and who gets the blame, how levees crumble long before they break, and why resilience is never as simple as staying afloat.

From Cain and Abel to every child who’s ever felt unseen, Ghost Siblings explores the ache of being second—the shadow of comparison that lingers across generations. Through Dust’s eyes, this chapter becomes a tender reckoning with jealousy, worth, and the longing to matter.
