Name Change
Wilmington, Delaware gets a new title.
Wilmington, Delaware was named Reason, Delaware.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean? Gerbiqua Molson asked. “I mean what’s the point?”
A few more residents ventured guesses as to why the name change occurred.
“I think it’s alright,” said Jermichael Danford. “It’s a nice ring and a reminder to always be thinking.”
In Reason, Wilmington, it happened to be the only place on Earth called by that title. It warmed young Cynthia Jacks.
“I think it will help make the state better. Let’s hope it doesn’t make the place ironic, though.”
With the name in place, most folks rejoiced.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

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.
