(each story is available separately in PDF format)


Nuclear Preemption

Beware oh dreamer! You tighten your noose with every step.
 The plan is in control, not you. Awake!

 

Sergei's the Oasis

There comes a point when the best established processes are not enough,
 when nothing remains to save us, but our humanity.

 

 Lunch Break Surprise

From civilization to Armageddon
 in thirty minutes.

 

Operation Noah

Flying at the edge of a poisoned world.

The Sound of a Bird Woke Me

A gently daring brilliance is allowed to unfold in love
 in order to hold back the darkening of a failing world.

The Chess Player

When the death of millions becomes a statistic, the death of one person remains an unspeakable tragedy and the prevention of it a triumph of our humanity.

 

Mission to Hell

A child's poem: 
...I watched a rabbit under a bridge;
 then fire came;
 with a big light; 
the forest was burning; 
with screams; 
there was no more sky; 
there was night; 
not a voice.

The House of the Sun

Oh what a joy when loved ones are found that were deemed lost forever,
 and what great sadness, when the path to them is blocked!

Time Zones

Which distance is greater,
 the geographic distance that separates the continents and nations,
 or the distance heart to heart that separates humanity?
 Imagine a voyage across twelve time zones.

Sky Fire

If one comes from the sunshine into a darkened room, 
is it possible to bring the sunshine along?

Trial for Innocence

The focus of every trial should be to establish innocence
 in order that the healing of society can begin.

 

Death in Paradise

Who dances at the pinnacle of the world still needs to heed the old rule:
 Don't slip!
