Leading from the Brink
On an early November evening, the weather had begun its shift to the wrong side of the thermometer. Our prior attempts to hire for this position had come up short. We had been through dozens of applications, toured multiple facilities and been outbid by a couple of other employers where we felt we had found our dream candidate. Our search committee had grown weary, like we had been looking at the same type of candidates, with the same type of experience, and the same background. We were about to put our search on hold when our HR Manager stumbled upon a pair of dark horse candidates.

Nightmare into Fantasy- Part 8
The ranch was a 30 minute walk through mostly fields. He knew if he ran, he could make it there in 20. “You have 30 minutes”, kept ringing through his head. He couldn’t lose his family. Well maybe his parents, they were old but not Tanya. That day she flipped him, changed everything. Gone were his days of fear, loss, and despair.

Nightmare into Fantasy- Part 7
“Ain’t that some bullshit.” Jacob reflected in bewilderment upon seeing the river. “I see history has a way of repeating itself. You cost me a lot of money back in the day… I can’t believe I took the bounty off your ass. Must have been a moment of pity.” Jacob derided.

Nightmare into Fantasy- Part 6
The car crawled to a stop in front of the modest storefront. You wouldn’t guess by looking at but the Hoarder was the unofficial center of commerce for the city. Everything flowed through it. Drugs, guns, women, men, exotic animals, political figures, law enforcement, and some amazing rates if you wanted to pawn stuff! Seriously, they gave money away.

Nightmare into Fantasy- Part 5
It was nearly two in the morning when Parker arrived at the hospital. It had been such a draining night. The mix of emotions from his family’s kidnapping, Anthony being hospitalized, the dismemberment of his girlfriend’s finger, and the disappearance of the chocolate cake were almost too much for Parker to bear.

Nightmare into Fantasy- Part 4
He jumped off the couch and began frantically searching his parents house. He desperately yelled out into the darkness, “MOM! DAD! TANYA! ANYBODY!” illuminating the house as he dashed from room to room. Everywhere he explored was deserted. The house was trashed. Picture frames were shattered, furniture was overturned, loose paper was everywhere as the contents of drawers were emptied onto the floor. The most unsettling aspect of the chaos was the blood.

Nightmare into Fantasy- Part 3
“Ugh… what the fuck happened?” Parker’s head was pounding. It felt like his brain had grown three times its size and was trying to free itself from the prison that was Parker’s skull. He pressed his hand to his forehead in an effort to quell the pain. Where was he? It was dark when he opened his eyes. At least he could be thankful for that. Moonlight streamed through the windows in the living room, illuminating different parts of the room as the moon traversed the sky.

Nightmare into Fantasy
“Bro, how were you able to talk me into this?” Anthony grunted as he moved another bale of hay toward the front of the barn. Sweat was dripping furiously from his brow and he had long ago abandoned the ragged t-shirt he wore today. He should have known the day was going to play out like this. Every time… every…damn… time, Parker asked him to come out to his parent’s ranch, Parker, that sneaky s.o.b. always manipulated him into chores.

Bitcoin- When Ledgers are Born
The origin of Bitcoin is as much a part of the legend as its current value. Shrouded in a cloak of mystery, its creator is an enigma worthy of a tale befitting contemporary heroes like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, or Batman; history defining characters, whose collective actions focused the hearts and minds of others to strive for something more, something better. This is their story, documented through hundreds of hours of research and collected from the deepest, darkest corners of the internet…
