Green Light at Surfside
Green Light at Surfside (a Dystopian Fictional-Allegory) The light was still green at Surfside when the ice-cube-tray building progressively melted and collapsed at 1:23 am onwards - it was and still is green at the intersection of Engineering and Bureaucracy, with double green-lights on both street and avenue. But how long had the ice-cube-tray building been melting before the final collapse, and how many more are still a melting work-in-process?

An Unexpected Suspicious Package

A Slice of Chocolate Cake
A Slice of Chocolate Cake In the middle of a sleepless-night, edging towards an “early” early-morning at 3:46 am, an anonymous refrigerator-door opened and inside was a plate (covered with a stretch of plastic-saran-wrap) centered with a slice of chocolate cake. Not any chocolate cake, but chocolate cake with chocolate icing (with chocolate sprinkles) where the cake itself was made with milk-chocolate in a semi-swirl pattern with dark-chocolate having semi-sweet chocolate-bits mixed-in with bitter-sweet chocolate, sweet German-Chocolate, and white-chocolate, while the icing was made up with Couverture Chocolate (Footnote #1), and with the sprinkles made up with Compound Chocolate and Ruby (Pink) Chocolate.

Heart-Shaped Locket
Heart-Shaped Locket It was not so much the heart-shaped locket itself, but rather the Caesium-133 atomic-timekeeping element kept within it. No, this was not some leftover U-32 from a post-Casablanca Alfred Hitchcock movie, but rather this was “the stuff that dreams were made of” – the stuff that kept satellites synchronized with each other to 9,192,631,770 rotation frequencies per second (RFPS).
