Tim's Twist of Time
When Predictions Embrace the Absurdity of Irony
Meet Tim, who had an unusual talent. He possessed the incredible ability to make perfect predictions—about the past. With precise accuracy, he'd recount what had already happened. People marveled at his useless gift.
His friend said, “Tim, tell me the winning lottery numbers!”
Tim grinned, “Sure! They're 2, 14, 26, 32, 40, and 45.”
His friend excitedly bought the ticket, only to find out later that Tim's predictions had never been about the future. Tim's life proved that sometimes, even the most accurate forecasts could be hilariously irrelevant.

The Living Narrative
In a time long forgotten, before the world knew the art of writing, our story resided in the realm of the ethereal. This narrative was not confined to parchments or bound by ink but existed as a living entity, pulsating with the essence of creation. It was a story that transcended time and space, weaving through the collective consciousness of the universe.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
