A cacophony of unnatural and natural,
Crashing waves and screams collide,
Groans of protest of a great ship,
Despair of those who nature denied.
Nature spoke in thundering destruction,
The great metal beast replied with a screech,
The sea seeking to swallow that of which shouldn't be,
A lesson that nature seeks to teach.
Yet those aboard the great ship only feel fear,
Nature will not desist,
They know this and they weep,
Yet the great metal beast still seeks to resist.
The great ship gives one last wail,
A thundering scream of the great metal beast seeking to resist,
Yet nature knows it has won,
Nature will never desist.

What if Hitler won WWII in the 1980s
Alright, buckle up, because this story is about to take you on a wild ride into a seriously messed up alternate history. Imagine a world where the Nazis won WWII, and everything's gone to hell in a handbasket. It's like, full-on fascist domination – the Reich's got its tentacles wrapped around Europe and beyond, and it ain't pretty.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
