There are a few books that I wouldn’t mind being trapped in. Some scifi masterpiece would be nice. A well written romance novel could be fun and hot . Even a thriller might have its moments.

But damn it, why this lousy technical manual. I’m going crazy here. Anything but this.

First off: I have been gone for nearly 2 months. This effectively extends my mini saga endeavor into March. So yeah. Naughty.

Back on the horse, or Tauntaun…

When she would don the suit, everything would change. Suddenly 50 feet tall, she would rampage across her small town, breathing radioactive fire on her office , skipping down freeways, and kicking the suvs that crowded all the street parking on street sweeping days. Being a giant monster is cool.

Mentioning Atlantis in most real underwater research communities will get you laughed right out of the room. But there were underground treasure hunting organizations that will chase wild leads and mystic maps. They always demand a high share.  Our man fancies himself a modern Hagbard Selene. I’d pay him anything.

Pop music is a much more complex world than most people really comprehend. There is a very secret world of rivalries and wars going on just beyond the ken of most mortals. For example, you probably have no idea that Prince, Bowie and Idol were in a bitter blood feud.

When did I start smoking?  People can remember when their first cigarette was. Here I am with a full ashtray and no frame of reference. I have no idea. I don’t  remember. My body knows just what to do. I’ve  been at this a long time, there’s no urge to cough.

Do not underestimate the power of marketing, my friend. I’ve taken this one step beyond the level of selling ice to Eskimos. Instead, my mission has been to have ethical vegetarians hunger for bacon. While the other meat groups falter in new economy, we thrive. The strip of greasy bacon is our hero.

When you came back into my arms after that journey, you had tales of adventure. You told of dark days, demons slain, of villains vanquished and treasures found.  

But all I want is to wipe the blood from your swords, lay you down, and kiss you hard upon your lips.

I searched my grandfather’s personal effects for the artifact. I have no doubt ,of course, that he was in possession of it when he died, but somewhere between the accident and where he was pronounced dead and when they gathered his things into a cardboard box,  the small golden pendent went missing.

Standing at the edge of the city looking in, we knew the days  ahead would be tough.  This enclave had strict xenophobic rules about outsiders after dark. We knew no people who would stand by us if it came to that. It would.  We needed to make some friends, fast.

It was the set up for a bad horror film. We were a film crew, in before the casino even opened, in the hotel all day and night. There were no windows or clocks. Then we realized we were locked in. When the men began disappearing, we began getting worried.
