Grand Designs
A rollercoaster engineer gets his time in the spotlight.
Code is everywhere. Sly Collette stood in front of the roller coaster he designed. He envisioned the shouts of joy and the chills of fearchis contraption would produce when it opened the first day of July.
“Sly, baby, this is going to be a hit!” the park supervisor Bob Dyerson ran up to him with cigars.
“Let’s try to use the word ‘thrill,’” Collette corrected “And you know ai don’t smoke.”
“I know. I know. What do you think of this thing up and running tomorrow?”
“Delighted.”
“No problem with fly Sly,” Bob said, a cigar hanging from his lips.

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 The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Captain Michael and the Horn of Logan
“I am King David the Magnificent. The Great and Powerful. Ruler over all that is in front of me, all that is behind me. All that is to the north, south, east, and west of me. Why have you come before my great presence? Make your request now. If it sounds pleasant to my ears, I might consider granting you your request. If not, you will be fed to the lions.”
