The Formula for Life 2016 single work short story
— Appears in: Voiceworks , Spring no. 105 2016; (p. 73-75) 'A few years ago, I had come across an article, 'Nature Has a Formula That Tells Us When It's Time to Die', by Robert Krulwich. It was amazing, how the immensity of life could supposedly be condensed into a singular mathematical formula. The mass of an organism multiplied by its metabolic rate was equal to its mass taken to the three-fourths power, a formula which transcended the distinct characteristics of seven hundred species. The tremendous developments of research left me bewildered, that the essence of death was able to be epitomised through such a simplistic manner. I think my cousin Steven would have been as equally fascinated by the article.'
