Chester Climbs The Mountain,
Is Rewarded By The View!


Chester did what everyone else did in the oil field. He worked hard covered in greasy grime, put in his hours with dog-like devotion and made no complaints. And yet, Chester never belonged, the perpetual Outsider.… Read full post »

Death Be Not Loud


Far from the shining night lights of the big city lies Dark America, safe in rural seclusion. Sustained by a connection to the salty earth, imagination is left to roam freely across the plains of wheat and rows of corn to places long strangled from the confined mind of/…

When A 1%er Gets A Speeding Ticket

Estelline3

I've been sworn to secrecy as to the name of the Pampa millionaire (a member of my very own childhood church!) who found himself so rudely stopped and ticketed by Estelline's finest. As one can see, it's the not cost of the ticket that irked him so, given the fact/…

Branch Silhouette

As the good book says, there is a time for all things under the sun. To me, that means there's as much beauty in winter as any season. And while oftentimes on the surface nothing/…

"I'll call after my love for you is dead."

Rat bastard! she knee-jerked to his parting words, using a phrase she never before used in her life. She wanted to say more but any more words would be too dangerous. Did she really know everything she needed to know?

I Woke Up - And Fell Into A Dream

Bird 2

I woke dead in my bed - and the world had gone ahead without me.

I ambled outside into a surrounding hazy grey sky - but it was the wrong kind of grey, a grey that forgot our civilized world of 60 second sound bites, no longer keeping faith with our glorious/…

Yes, Bill Maher, Atheism Is A Religion!

"That Harry is a funny guy!"

Maybe Bill came across one of my posts or comments where I pointed out atheism is an annoying religion like any other. Bear in mind we're talking about philosophical religion, not practical religion like capitalism (which I'll get into later). Bill likes to act/…

"Where Is the Uprising from the Left?"


There's no doubt that for the most part the media in America has been co-opted as an extension of both governmental and corporate interests. Truth is an undeclared enemy by both entities but an obliging public has no more interest in facing facts than any guilty child would. These are/…

Noize In The Hood


I had fallen asleep with the bright reading light shining in my eyes. Books are my only respite from the hell-world I live in and the instant my mind is distracted from that hell I tend to fall asleep. I need the rest more than I can let anyone literally/…

A Purchased Life (NSFW)


When Thomas Elkin got his wildly inflated, otherworldly yearly bonus, first call he made was to his favorite hooker - $3,000 a night, sheets included. Next, he called his mother, thrilled to hear of his worldly success. Lastly, he called a woman who would no longer talk to him, getting/…

I Saw One Of Those "Must See" Films


There's an eternal naiveté about war and it's one that inhabits most its proponents who most claim to know its dangers. As all the world truly is a stage, those with war in their souls must sell that war and thusly turn a blind eye to the true reality of/…

Interview With An Assassin


"You people!"

Her eyes were incredulous, shattered glass. Trembling lips searched the lone face before her in her drab, eastern bloc apartment. To find one's self so helpless, so vulnerable to a careening world, a leaf who suffers whims of the wind. Where is justice and order in that?

The "New Normal" Ain't So Normal!


A message from one of the "greatest generation":
