The Pen of Fate. Top Story - March 2025.
Can we write fate? ******************************************************** Julian Leong loved the thrill of unearthing treasures. He enjoyed nothing more than to comb through the flea market that took place weekly near his home for out-of-the-box knick-knacks.

A Duel in the Sky?. Top Story - March 2025.
“In and out,” Wendy mumbled as she walked briskly into Walmart. “Just get in and get out.” Usually Wendy liked not to rush herself when grocery shopping, but time was running out. She had promised to make her friend lasagna tonight only to realize ten minutes ago that her roommate took the can opener with her when she left. And Wendy brought the canned sauce. Luckily, she had a feeling that this might have been the case so she checked for it before she actually started the lasagna. But lasagna took a long time to cook and it was her first time making it.

Zombie Businesses And The Rot Economy. Top Story - March 2025.
What makes a Good Business? It's a strange question to ask when you look at the world today. There are many things we would "Assume" are Important for a Business to be Considered "Good"...

Throwing Stones. Top Story - March 2025.
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Chef Nakamura. Top Story - March 2025.
In the quiet hum of his West Village restaurant, Chef Nakamura slides his blade through a pristine slab of bluefin tuna. “One million and one,” he murmurs. He has counted every slice of fish, ever since starting his first restaurant. His father said a real man avoids frivolous controversy, seeks simple work and dedication. Nakamura had taken those words to heart.

"LOST IN UNDERSTANDING IN TIME". Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
I created this video song story to talk a little about mental health and what happens when one divorces a narcissist. I thought I would create this out of memory of a friend I knew who was hurt deeply by her ex-husband. This situation occurs in many relationships. The older lady friend of mine reflects about her over 30 years ago. She is sad, but therapy and time she begins to heal from her pain that she hid from people for many years.

When Integers Attack. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge. Top Story - March 2025.
The dreaded SAT starts promptly at 8:30 am in the morning. Too damn early if you ask me. Getting a good score is the only way of getting a scholarship into a decent college (unless you get a B-list actress to pay someone to take the test for you). Ninety of us are packed in like herrings, nine neat rows, entering demographic information in case universities want to contact us directly. Lots of codes and crap to enter: student ID, school, room number, blood type, next of kin, my car’s VIN.

Finding Katie 3. Top Story - March 2025.
Hello to all the vocal peeps out there. I am writing my finding Katie blog 3… I know I know, it’s a little late but I am writing it so there is that. I think what I am going to do is write 1 finding Katie a month and one Finding Katie’s story a month every two weeks. Two stories a month (along with whatever else I may be writing) is probably enough.

Can I whip it into shape?. Top Story - March 2025.
How hard could it be, to write an absurd story? After all, life is one constant struggle reigning in absurd behaviour and thinking. Strolling alongside the creek with my daughter and beloved dog, I shared my ‘brilliant’ story ideas. Then I hustled home to record them before they fell out of my sieve of a brain.
