“Alright, everyone. This evening we have an excellent opportunity to show these people just what we mean. We’ve tolerated centuries of oppression, decades of condescension, and countless years of bigotry! I say unto you all, stand up for your rights! Stand up for your freedoms! Stand up for the God Given, inherent capabilities of existing … More The Tiki Torches: 3
“Ho hum ho hum deedeedee!” Joyfully skipping around her bedroom, the little girl is singing and humming to herself as her furry pigtails bounce around behind her. “Now, what are my teenie-weenies up to today?” She asks, skipping over to the terrarium. As she peers inside, she sees that her little creatures have erected an … More For Better or Worse (Ch 7)
“All better!” Pulling her arm from out of the tank, the little girl slides the lid back on her glass habitat after setting down the little newborn she’d taken out the night before. “Those nutrients will make you a super pet!” She shouts, watching the parents finally reconnect with their baby. “Anyway,” the girl says, … More For Better or Worse (Ch 4)
Well now! Sounds like our guy is falling a little deeper into the depths of depravity, no? Openly acknowledging his attempts of deceit and manipulation? Ballsy move, if you ask me. What if these Overseer people busted his door down and found his journal? He’d be screwed, right? Not that he’s given them reason to, … More Good & Evil Chapter 16
Well well well, what have we here? Does he love her? What do you think? She’s going to be mine. Sort of an odd term to use, right? Almost sounds like he views her as property. Property he doesn’t want to share, as it seems. So, here’s what I wonder: does Mikal love Estella? How … More Good & Evil: Chapter 14
A curious thing happened today. I was visited by a Younger who had just completed his Filing. He has graduated from his childish status and was Filed Left to become a Contributor. I recall him approaching me this morning, slowly opening the door to my office as he peered inside with a strange glint in … More Good & Evil: Chapter 11
Almost makes you feel sorry for the girl, huh? Funny thing, love. It’s different in everyone’s eyes, wouldn’t you say? After all, are we sure our good friend Mikal here was intent on the benevolence of his little fling with Estella? Or did he just play the game the right way so he could land … More Good & Evil: Chapter 10
Oh, what shall I do?! There must have been a mistake. I cannot accept this. Mikal has been Filed left! I shan’t see him again, and my heart aches when I think of it. All this time we’ve spent in anticipation, patiently waiting for the day when we would be Filed together. How could this … More Good & Evil: Chapter 9
I don’t know what I’m going to tell Estella. We were both so sure of ourselves. What am I going to do when we’re separated? I cannot stand the thought of it. We love each other so, so much. How could this have happened? How could they strip us apart, like we’re…subhuman? I hate the … More Good & Evil: Chapter 7
I hate this place. Mother told me I’m being too harsh. I know better. This place was created out of fire and brimstone, I’m sure of it. Where else on this God forsaken planet can I go? It’s as if the entire world is brainless. The Filing was yesterday. I went Left. At first, I … More Good & Evil: Chapter 5
So this morning I spoke to a screenwriter about my story. In my quest to eventually have an adaptation created for viewers (since who reads evidently) these conversations, I hope, will happen more frequently in the near future. After today, though, I realize how much that even I don’t know about my own narrative. This … More Continuity – The Most Complex Simple Question I’ve Been Asked
