With bated breath she waited for the light on the wall to turn green. Her fingers hovered over the keys of the keyboard knowing if she dared to press a key before the timer started, she would be immediately disqualified. Her fingers ached and twitched, ready for action.

The Infiltration Game John W. Gilmore Science Can Save The Day -- Chapter 1 I slid the new laser charge pack into my rifle as I answered. “Well Jerome, we all want peace, don’t we?” I lifted the rifle and looked through the sight to make sure it was all set for the upcoming battle. “But we don’t really have that choice now, do we? The women have gone crazy.”

Judith was very young - around 7 or 8 years old. It was the 1970’s. Carefree days. Days of disco and VW’s. Shows like Welcome Back Kotter on TV, and The Love Boat, Fat Albert, Gilligan’s Island, The Electric Company...were some of her favorites...
Blue Moon
Summer was coming to a close. This is the second summer since what we call “ Aberzombie and Fitch" has been wreaking havoc all over our world. Before we go any further into the horrors , let me introduce myself. My name is Layla Hendrix and I am from the beautiful state of California. Southern California to be precise . Since of course my state was one of the first places the outbreak started, which is where the name came from, I got my little dog Mr. Miyagi and drove my yellow Volkswagen Beetle all the way to my grandparents who live in West Virginia. Kanawha County to be exact. I would say I've had some culture shock but that would be first world problems being the state the world is in now. I was just grateful to be with my only known living family. And they needed to be kept safe. My grandma Lena was the sweetest soul and my grandpa was half Cherokee and very proud of it. He was also so vigilant , up most of the night, sitting out on the sun porch, making sure no Aberzombies were passing through. So far in the small town of Dunbar, there had only been a few and one was just a homeless person that was mistaken for a zombie. To be honest, sadly he looked worse.

This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 22 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—this is probably the last time that I repeat it—to play the role of a fictional character also called, Anthi, as she already did in the first series, but in this series with the full and timely name, Anthi (Flowers) Kanéna (No Body). She smells better than any flower and her body is forever in my mind. Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes but that heroes fight like Greeks. Winston Churchill

This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 21 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—methinks that I did not mention it enough—to play the role of a fictional character also called, Anthi, as she already did in the first series, but in this series with the full and significant name, Anthi Kanéna. Every day is Valentine’s Day in my mind, with blue-and-white Anthi (“flowers” in Greek). Greece is a good place to look at the moon, isn’t it? Leonard Cohen

This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 19 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—no one can deny it—to play the role of a fictional character also called, Anthi, as she already did in the first series, but as Anthi Kanéna in this series, which currently has no foreseen end, though the last part exists in M’s mind. I said it before and I will say it again, namely that each time that I now see flowers, I can only think of Anthi (“flowers” in Greek). [T]hose who willed the means and wished the ends are not absolved from guilt by the refusal of reality to match their schemes. Christopher Hitchens, from The Trial of Henry Kissinger
