As Ben sat in his favorite old chair scratching his grizzled beard he snarled at Danny the neighbor kid who zipped by on his skateboard. It seemed like only yesterday He was riding along on his new shinny blue 3 speed schwinn bike showing off for Mary. Oh Mary that beautiful high school cheerleader with the long red curly hair the sweetheart of Maple Way. The bike was a christmas present From aunt Jean his mother's older sister who gave everyone the best that money could buy, so she was his favorite. As he watched Danny head down the street he wished for a minute that he could change the past and instead of a cynical old bachelor sitting on his porch on a warm afternoon dreaming the impossible dream he could be living his dream. His life a series of missed opportunities and bad decisions and now nothing but dreams. As he began to doze off he was startled by a loud hissing sound as a meteorite crashed into his front yard and Ben's life changed in a blinding flash.

other forums
by Hortensia ini look at three forums pretty much every day, this one, a knitting/crochet forum and a weight-loss forum.
the weight-loss site has loads of useful apps, but the forum consists of posts by people who are mostly pretty young, self-absorbed and ill-informed except on a narrow range of information, mainly weight-lifting, working out, and starving themselves.. the folks on the knitting/crochet forum are extremely polite, politically correct, and obey rules very carefully.
other than that, there are some seriously creative people with amazing artistic talent that expresses itself in fiber arts.

i'm comfortable enough with myself but I'm not sure how comfortable others are with me. I have a habit of dragging people into conversations they don't especially want to have.
People as pinatas hit them with weird ideas and see if any candy or toys fall out.

I've never had a flu shot and have only had a strange flu once many years ago. We were out for a walk and we sat by a pond just full of ducks and not long after we came down with a horrible flu within days of each other. We were flattened by that flu. i often wonder if we had some kind of bird flu.

Fading
by compound complex init is not chains that bind me to the position i now hold .
and, that, for a lengthy time now.. i stand motionless, my eyes peering through dark curtains, they fixed steadily upon cheerful passersby on the street below my third-storey bedroom window.
by their simply being out and about in the daytime sun i perceive that, in contrast to my placid self, these happy souls are at peace with the world.

I Haven't Much Time.
by compound complex ini haven't much time.
conflict is on the horizon, moving ever closer toward us.
our being a peace-loving people does not mean that we are weak and ineffectual.

They always say if you put on your Icarus suit and fly to the sun you'll regret it but it's a conspiracy!
Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars

Dream or Nightmare?
by compound complex ini have reached a frontier dreamt about as a child -- the outer reaches of a vast realm under stars.. though an imaginative and inquisitive lad, my forward-looking mind and open heart could never have conjured up this fabulous, this infinite unreality into which i have been catapulted.
what may appear a distortion of my former reality i tentatively accept as a cosmic tableau that threatens both to fascinate and crush my frail, puny body and spirit.
i am unable to comprehend what i gaze upon with frightened, delicious terror.. my recent escape from lunaria was of sheer necessity: my people have been overtaken by a scorpion race of alien malefactors whose intent toward us was not one of beneficient intervention but that of conquest.

it all began one rather ordinary morning with a cup of coffee and a gluten free biscotti. She sat there staring at those proverbial clouds in her coffee when a soft delicate rustling in her sink snapped her out of her reverie. The first thought of course is as Edgar Allen Poe would say "tis some visitor rapping at my chamber door only this and nothing more". A creepy visitor like a roach or maybe even a mouse under those dirty dishes. But as we've come to expect in a story like this it's never that simple. This is a sci-fi tale or maybe a twilight zone adventure should we go over and check out the sink? Maybe we should just run out the front door and drive as fast as we can and when we return find the police and neighbors gathered around our place staring at a huge sinkhole. That is not nearly as much fun as inching toward the noise and in a timid voice say "who's there" or "hello" as they always do in the movies instead of getting out of there.
