Breaking the Malthusian Trap
Everything hinged on today, but he wished he could have cleaned out his desk first. The elevator doors glided open, and Dr. Alfred Mortiz entered the boardroom. Corbin Maxwell, heir to Prometheus Pharmaceuticals, casually inspected the skyline. A darling of DC and Wall Street alike, Corbin treated this tower like his castle. Alfred thought it was another phallic monstrosity assaulting Mother Earth. Malthus would’ve wept. Outside, sunlight from the unseasonably warm day burned off the neighboring skyscrapers. He felt like a rat stuck inside a test chamber.

Run Through The Jungle
Author Unknown - April 17th 1968 The Devil himself reached from the jungle and dragged me into hell. A minute before, the jungle across the shallow valley swayed in the spring breeze. Minh glared over the stock of his RPD he had arranged in the brush nest. It was well concealed, and the veteran of three different colonial wars hated how we moved along our trench atop the gently rising hill. Bao and Tran smoked and lounged against the dirt wall. We dug while they smoked, always. I hated them.
