Belts with Holes are Dead
In 2050 the fall of man was brought about not by a nuclear holocaust or alien invasion, nor by a biological agent unleashing a zombie plague or a global economic collapse, but rather by an event so mundane, so random, so seemingly inconsequential that not even the wisest of men could have predicted it. This is the world of belts with holes are dead. A world ended when the last belt with holes suddenly disappeared from our planet earth. A hellish nightmarescape where the ability to keep one’s pants up even if they are too large is no longer an option for most. The rich seclude themselves in future belt enclaves where they live in relative luxury and wear whatever size pants within +/- two sizes they desire while the poor live in squalor, suffering from constant pants droppage or doing anything they can to just get by. The lowest of these, the so called “below the knee cutters” are the worst off by far. Their misery was so great that they actually took scissors to every pair of pants they owned and cut them off below the knees. Sick I know, do not read on if you are faint of heart. The only hope left are the so called Pioneers of Future Belts. Will they arrive in time to save our once beautiful planet and usher in a utopian paradise where everyone, regardless of means, can choose to wear whatever pants they want, no matter the waist size or inseam length? These stories represent the collected works of just some of the people who lived through those dark times. Pray their future does not become our own.

What’s Above
Wilmington, Delaware 2050 Bustle. That word suited the many people darting here and there. Most of them sported shoes that kept you in stride while walking in the air. These upright postures promoted back and neck support and alleviated any pain on the spine and feet. Everyone, though, possessed a chip in their heads that allowed them to communicate with thoughts.

Satire, Parody and AI are difficult for some to detect
Some people are truly bad at detecting sarcasm, AI, parodies, satire and Poes. A Poe is you don't know is when a parody seems real since it may actually be what the thing or person being parodied would do. It is not that hard to detect for people who can think.

Spaceballs is Still Hysterical!
I wrote a lot of Star Wars content back in May; something I realized a short while after the last article was that I should have reviewed Spaceballs. Why? Because it's a Star Wars parody. Wait a minute, you've never seen Spaceballs?
