Well, these are what we call Quick Flash stories, which means they aren’t very long and so you could probably read one to completion on your way to work, Which is what we had in mind when producing them them. People asked us 'can you write something I could start and finish on my way to work?' ...Ok, the write up. Well, these are what we call Quick Flash stories, which means they aren’t very long and so you could probably read one to completion on your way to work which is what we had in mind when producing them.. People asked us 'can you write something I could start and finish on my way to work?' The two in this little presentation about the arenas are absolutely brilliant, one about ants and the other about a talented ice skater.The introduction is a cool idea about the end of the world and you should maybe read it because it may save your life one day. What is the end of the world anyway? I hear it mentioned here and there and in some other books. Is the 'world' the lump of stone that is our planet? How would we end it? I can’t tell you right now because it is Sunday and I don’t go to the fetish club until Wednesday where I am a mad scientist, so best ask me on a Thursday when I will have the answer (unless I manage to end the world that night). If I do, people who have to go to jobs they hate on Thursday morning will build a statue in my honor ... but how would they do that? The world has ended. If I were you, as a convenience precaution, I'd tie up any loose ends on or by Wednesday night. What if, on Weds night, everybody on earth puts all the plugs in all the sinks and baths and turn both taps on? Within a few hours the world would be flooded and most would drown. If you don't drown, your next water bill will be horrendous especially if you're on a meter. Be warned! The Water Board WILL get you.So, for now ... Is it the end of civilsation soon? I’ve no obvious idea, but it is probably not the end, but ‘change’. In that case if you’re one of the survivors, you will need to adapt ... us humans are pretty resilient. How to adapt? Well, I’ve stuck in my own idea in the QF download, and the great thing is, you can start doing it now.Have a nice day Views: 642

He has his finger on every conceivable pulse, but his grip is starting to slip.Chance encounters and unexpected friendships force him to remember what it's like to be a human being - at the worst possible time: An old enemy is back in town.“You know what the old timers say about Comely? They say the Devil is afraid of him.”Aldous Comely; entrepreneur, philanthropist, bon vivant, crime lord. He has his finger on every conceivable pulse, but his grip is starting to slip.Chance encounters and unexpected friendships force him to remember what it's like to be a human being - at the worst possible time: An old enemy is back in town.As Comely prepares for the oncoming storm, he asks himself if a man with no past can hope for a future.Enoch's Folly is a unique period piece. Set in New York City in 1939, it weaves the stories of real figures and fictional characters in a complex narrative exploring identity, loyalty, big ideas, loss, greed, and the ever-mystifying human condition.---Review from Nate Briggs, The Kindle Book Review:Nate Briggs rated it 3 of 5 starsThe book's synopsis suggests a hard-hitting, period crime novel.In fact, this is a wide-ranging narrative of romance, regret, hope, and a distant taste of crime in the New York City of 1939. There’s trouble in Europe, but Aldous Comely is thinking much more about his life outside the law: wondering if there is a graceful exit toward a day-to-day routine that’s more sustainable.In the mean time, people meet—people strive—and life goes on.If this were a movie, the narrative would be described as “character-driven”: since the focus is more on interaction than on events, and emotions more than explosions.

When the Simpson family moves to Plymouth, Teacher Trinity finds herself drawn into the center of a raging national storm. “Do the Ten Commandments have a place in public education? Do they represent absolute truth or are they merely the delusions of religious fanatics?” Sinister forces rage as Miss Trin is forced to not only defend absolute truth, but must try and save her job in the process.“But Edith never allowed Gary to have the final word in any argument. She yanked the blankets up over her shoulders and turned on her side away from her husband mumbling, 'Christians! What idiots! Anyone who actually believes some imaginary god tells them how to live has no business teaching future generations of this country. The sooner this myth is expelled from public education, the better. And I’ll work to make that happen whether you like it or not, Gary Simpson! And good night yourself!'"*************Trinity Woodard had taught fifth graders for years in her home town of Plymouth, Wisconsin. The hallmark of her success rested upon her Christian faith and a conviction that God had made every child precious. She believed God had gifted each one with unique skills to accomplish His loving plan for their lives. She was proud to be numbered among a dwindling group of public education instructors who still believed that only by following God’s ways could a child find real joy and fulfillment in life.But when atheist Gary Simpson, a high-powered attorney, and Edith his wife, an ambitious newspaper reporter, move to town and enroll their son, Derrick, into Ms. Woodward’s class, Trin’s life is turned upside down.
