Campus Camping
College students learn more than they pay to learn. They rise up when they learn of world injustices.They leave the buildings and camp on the campuses.They make a lot of noise, demanding to be heard,but boys in blue with clubs would drub them, so no word is said. The cops will earn to make silence return.

Synchronicity and September 11th
I: Introduction–What is Synchronicity? Synchronicity is a concept that CG Jung wrote about in 1960. Literally, “unified time,” synchronicity refers to meaningful coincidences that have no causal connection.

'The Ancestors,' a Horror Story, Chapter One
Al Dan and Hannah Sandy were taking a walk in the park at around 9 pm. They’d been seeing each other for almost a year. Smiling, she had her head on his shoulder. With an ear-to-ear grin, he was enjoying resting the side of his head against the top of hers, feeling the soft cushioning of her long, blonde hair. He looked up at the night sky. “The stars are really beautiful, aren’t they, Hannah?”…

'Primal Scream,' a Sci-fi Short Story
When the loud, rumbling thud came just a while away from the house where ten-year-old Ted lived on his parents’ farm, he shook even more than the ground did. He turned off the TV, rose from the living room sofa, and ran out the front door to see where the thud had come from. He ran across a field of wheat, a rolling hill just by the house. At the far end of the field he saw a huge rock that…

It’d onlytake onefleetingmomentto ruin aperson’slife, withone bit ofbad luck,and a poorfoundation. Whatwas tall andseemingly sturdy isnow an unsalvageable wreck.One is homeless from a rent increase,loss of a spouse, natural disaster, or a war.A system based on profit collapses, makes us poor.

Trust Is Like the Soul
About a month or so ago, my older sister, J., sent me a direct message on Twitter (stupidly renamed ‘X’ by Elon Musk, proving once again that the wealthiest in the world aren’t necessarily the smartest, just the most exploitative…but I digress). She has apparently read some of my blog posts on my family issues back in Canada. I don’t know which ones she read: there are so many of them that I…
