RETURN TO PARAGON
RETURN TO PARAGON By Sally Champlin [email protected] CHAPTER ONE IN THE BEGINNING “There weren’t always dragons in the Valley,” his grandfather told him when they went hunting that day. Fascinated, the boy asked him, “What do dragons look like, grandpa?” His grandfather smiled and thought a bit. Then he said, “You’ll know them when you see them.”

The hybrid of science fiction/fantasy with the western (contemporary or historical) genre has long been sought after, touted as a natural, powerful combination for a television series, for as far back as I can remember. But it's seldom been realized, and off the top of my head, I can't think of a single successful example. Last year's Invasion on Apple TV+ took a shot with a lead-off episode out West, with no less an actor than Sam Neill in the lead -- but it was the weakest episode segment in an otherwise top-notch series. My wife suggested Westworld as an example that achieved the elusive goal, and yes, it did, but only partially, because the heart of its narrative was not western.

“You know Maryland is a nut,” Tom said, smile playing across his lips. His red hair and ruddy complexion made his whole face light up. I shook my head. “She tells you some crazy stories, sometimes,” he continued. “All the time.”

Ch.1 Post Human Consciousness Writhing, contorting, my conceived vision distorting. Stanzas of knowledge appear to be uploaded. A primordial energy preaching my existence within me. I am showered with madness. Numerals occult hit my brain as if diving into asphalt. I feel holographic as I become cryptographic. I am pure at last.
In the Caverns of the Sky
"Well if it isn't another doomed princess tossed into the abyss." Vol was leaning back on her craggy perch, legs swinging over the edge. She was looking at a young woman, walking through the open air, as though on a tightrope--slow and deliberate. They were in a cavern of immense proportions--hundreds of leagues across, unfathomable depths below. Before them, the earth opened its jaws to the sky.

This post may or may not have been initiated through a typo. But then it got me thinking: what WILL life look like 200 years from now? I’ll probably be a hot grandma by then… Or long dead. Bear with me while I wander through time, and come along if you’d like to take an imaginary trip with me.
You are my Eyes.
Becoming at one with your Owl you close your eyes and trust implicitly that your owl will connect, they don’t just teach how to listen, they teach you how to listen to the tone in the words spoken to you , the vibration of energy will become more important than sight.They teach you to understand body movements, your subtle facial expressions. To interpret silences. Helping you to hear everything not said in words.
