The Days of the Fair One Are Over
A man learns quickly about the seriousness of force.
When he picked up the gun to clean it, he knew he was going to blast his opposition. There was no time for jabs and left hooks. Just dumping the steel. That’s all anyone knows nowadays.
Just to get into a fistfight meant nothing in Wilmington, Delaware. It had been an experience that no one wanted but they knew they needed it. To lay down someone with punishment meant that you were top. And he was standing with his piece he named Enoch.
As he saw him cross streets, he withdrew but instead of shooting, got two in his head.

Braided Chain
Port of Seattle, WA, September 1912, Footsteps clamored on the wooden panels as I waited. The sun was setting over the harbor cascading orange and gold light across the faces of silhouettes who strolled the boardwalk. Local men and women dressed in their finest attire catching the last of the summer night air that now had a chill as wind gusts came in over the sea.

Imagine if aliens showed up tomorrow.
In the cosmic dance of celestial bodies, an unusual event unfolded 30 days ago, marking the appearance of Uranus in our night sky. Initially, its presence seemed benign, akin to our moon finding a stellar companion. However, as the days progressed, a realization dawned – something monumental was hurtling toward us, a cosmic collision that would reshape our understanding of planetary dynamics.

Three Minute Reads
— Hooking in the Reader — MANY among us write with an introduction using logos and 'Handles,' I use my name proudly for better or worse — I Yam what I Yam — And that's All that I Am. I know that I'm not everyone's page-turner preference; I'm ok with that. If we are going to be out-there within this fabulous platform on a Global basis, then be out there as YOU! How would your closest friends over the years describe you? Who from our VM Village would you like to sit down at the Cheesecake Factory and actually speak to in person. No, not just a virtual friend, but touchy-feely 'real,' I can think of several, I'd even treat!
