Animal Farm Critique
A look into Communist Soviet Union using animals. The work made learning Soviet history easy and set focus out into what the world can become. Cognitive dissonance, existentialism, fear, and totalitarianism. It coined the new term Orwellian Universe. Great read on so many levels and for all ages. Read it!

Origin of Walmart
It started off as a test to further advance Psychology. People would be given starvation wages and poor working conditions. The word "union" was a banned word. Everyday the coordinators of the study would tweak something, while others observed. Some of the people employed would lose motivation at first. Some required an accolade to satisfy them, others would be disciplined, and some would receive a payment. None of these things could be talked about. The repercussions would be severe.

Origin of the Bloodsucker
There was a time when the world was more cooperative. Back during the Spanish Flu, the government did not need to mandate anything. They had instructions on how to make your own mask. People generally would comply. There were no convoys and protests. If we look throughout history that has been the way. There was colonization but no real threats to people who did not assimilate in the past. People generally tried to do things in the best interest. Fast forward to the 2000 Presidential Election. Al Gore had the popular vote and still lost. What happened? A massive riot erupted in the streets. What we saw then was fireworks compared to the explosion on January 6th, 2021.

Beacon Of Hope
https://sites.ualberta.ca/~mhirji/water.html Anybody who has read my stories would know I have a complicated relationship with my family. I have not seen any one of them for almost four years, however not a day goes by when I don't think of them. Above is a link to my talented dad's art page. Under watercolor in the water section is a painting called Beacon of Hope. That painting speaks to me. I feel I am the one in the water, with only my head above. I feel so overwhelmed by life, overstimulation, the lack of empathy-you name it. Yet there is no denying that someone out there is looking to save me.

Loss of Innocence
I was four. Unlike my three siblings including my fraternal twin sister I was different. Growing up I heard things like he is the Rain Man, or incredibly gifted but shy. I was unlike most kids who grow up in the 80's. I did not like the company of other people my age. I was unusual, yet a human like any other. As such I had something stolen from me. It was a like a heist this world did to me which only led to further things taken. I am a natural overthinker and was even at the age of four. My parents did not understand what was wrong with me. Why I was so distant yet distinctive. The words my mom uttered taunt me to this day. They robbed me of my innocence, left me bludgeoned, feeling in my mind blood curdling screams. Pain that will never forget from those words, forgiven but never forgotten. For those words were, "it is embarrassing being your mom." Words no child should hear, words that linger and destroy the soul with a blunt crush much like when a boulder hits the earth. I am left impregnated with the imprint of those words.
