Coffee and Champagne
Small-town suburbia, south of Chicago, Illinois, was a heavenly childhood. Maple, elm, and enormous oak trees lined the streets, where we swarmed in summer and winter, playing in groups with no worries except tornadoes. Always wondering what it was like elsewhere, I yearned to travel, with two desires: Paris, but the lions and elephants of Africa called to me.

A Flight
"Do you like the female British voice or the male Aussie? I can click this button and change it." "It will confuse the passengers and make them anxious. Choose ONE and stick to it!" Marsha was co-piloting with Brad and tired of his antics. An error in scheduling had resulted in her being called up for the flight.

Homeland Performance. Top Story - April 2025.
I must look stunning to get Donald to select me as his running mate. My makeover includes my hair, teeth, outfits, and makeup. I won't wear jeans and cowgirl shirts. It worked as South Dakota governor but won't sit well with Donald. He requires camera-ready, attractive, and photogenic television personalities with bright, shining smiles and beautiful long hair. If he doesn't select me as VP, I'll get a Cabinet position.

Concert Shock
Germaine entered the dusty town as a sidewinder slithered diagonally across her quickly disappearing footprints. Oblivious to the slithering snake and trying to prevent the dust from blinding her, she licked her hand and wiped her face, leaving ginger streaks.

Reverse-Engineered
Chuck was an AI engineer, a pioneer who worked alongside longevity scientists to create a human chip with two objectives: 1) reduce stress on the brain by analyzing daily life inputs, and 2) increase human lifespan by fifty percent. Chuck's initial chip worked one week, so its results could not be measured. Fifteen-hour workdays of testing hypotheses and fifteen-minute standup meetings with the team daily. Finally, they decided. Five men, ten women, and ten girls, aged twelve, were implanted with the chip. The adults volunteered and were implanted in their armpits. The women volunteers perspired profusely, rivulets soaking and spreading to the breast area. The male subjects emitted a fragrance similar to almonds, acting as an aphrodisiac. The girls' hormone cycles were disrupted. Chuck tweaked the implant gradually until the body no longer identified it as foreign, ending the havoc with sweat glands and lymph nodes. The women became frigidly cold and wore thermals under heavy sweaters. One female felt continuous twitching, cut the implant out, and died from blood loss.
