The Princess & The Peabrain. Top Story - February 2025.
The Politician had always wanted a wife who’d listen. A beauty that would wait on hand and foot and always agree with his opinions. He had many opinions. And he needed someone who would support him unconditionally. Otherwise, what was even the point of a wife? He had preferred other men in his company anyhow; they were by far stronger and superior.

The Many Errands of Hercules
Bill “Hercules” Thompson was no longer the same man who earned the nickname, but no one would let him forget it. He had once been a violent man, determined to have his way at work, on the road to work, at hockey games where he tried to forget about work or at any other event where he had to deal with the public. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to forget who he once was. A court case involving an elderly driver, his walking cane, and serious damage to a Honda Civic were enough to have the name stick. And so, he lived his life with as much peace and quiet as he could sustain and stomach.

Because no one can ride a motorcycle with one limb, pardon me one tail, as the motorcycle requires the balance of two equally weighted legs. And I would have fully agreed with you. Again, only before yesterday, when I saw it with my own eyes. But let me tell you everything from the beginning.

Why the Wolf Howls in Pain
Most people will be aware of the story called The Boy Who Cried Wolf in one of its many forms. Used as a tale to teach children not to lie, it has been a staple of bedtime rituals for many decades. However, as is the way with so many stories based on real events, the truth is sidelined for the convenience of easier-to-sell villains, especially when the tale is passed from one generation of humans to another.
