Around the Place
The wealthiest man pondered making more money.
The wealthiest man resided in Wilmington, Delaware. Out of the thousands of billionaires in the world, a black man sat at the front of the line. He had built up his fortune in technology and cement to build virtual realities and skyscrapers.
He felt the draw of the coffee in his hand as he looked out over the city in his office. His stance as man of color in pole position allowed him the ability to know what it meant to be successful. He sipped. He paced around the place. In his mind he would one day be a trillionaire.

Smartystan
Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

The Blue Ridge Stalker
Tom had left the Ford down the way, its spark plugs finally exhausted and no mechanics for a dozen miles back through the foothills to Strossburg. No matter, he had worn his boots—almost as if he planned for this to happen. The puzzle he sought to solve emanated from the woods clinging to the slopes above; the valley behind held no mysteries.
