THIS WEEK ON MARS

A little music from Raj Ramayya's upcoming album. A glimpse inside the story. A new transmission each week.

Ravi drives through rainy Neo-Saskatoon, with Priya reflected in the taxi’s rearview mirror.

Story Vignettes

Ch 1: Tantric Taxi Driver

Rain blurred the windshield until the headlights looked like distant constellations. Priya was leaving for Mumbai, and Ravi was still driving circles through Neo-Saskatoon. If the universe had anything honest left to say, he suspected it wasn’t using the approved frequencies.
