The Immaculate
Death wrapped her greedy fingers around Don Lombardi’s throat on a steamy summer night. Detective Jenna Johnson strode past the weeping and wailing of what she assumed was her victim’s next of kin. She stopped and took in the crime scene. Lombardi was sprawled in a chair at the head of a large table laden with a bounty of food and shining silver. The walls were lined with what Jenna identified as historic oil paintings. A scrolling iron chandelier lit the room. The space didn’t whisper, but screamed wealth. Don had spent five decades wheeling deals and trading precious commodities to build his fortune.

Will We Ever Return to Normal? Or, Is This The New Normal? If So, Will There Be a New New Normal Tomorrow?
The Pandemic has left indelible scars on all of us. Right from our working models to our living arrangements, there is no sphere of life that has been left untouched. Whether it be financial, emotional, psychological, or physiological, the effects of the Pandemic linger. Some of us lost our loved ones. Others suffered from not knowing when this nightmare would end. Be it the layperson or the most powerful men and women in the world, Covid has been a Great Leveler. Moreover, there is no certainty when we would resume our "normal" lives and more importantly, whether this is the New Normal wherein we live precariously not knowing if any of the Delta and Kappa variants would wreak havoc yet again.

Seeing is NOT believing
This phenomenon may enable us to see multiple versions of the same thing. That’s right, we can see the same exact thing, in several very different ways. While this has actually been known for several decades, only now do we have an exact, concise mathematical expression to prove it.

Tina the Goat
(Read after my story, Lady M and before Gobby Blank) Tina, the goat, was glad to be alive and eating grass. She grazed around the burned-out remnants of the house where her people once lived and wondered where they'd gone. She saw the old barn was still intact, and a wave of comfort washed over her. The bad people hadn't touched the barn.

The Invo
“Only one Invo has ever escaped, and some Sailors say that particular Invo ran away only to avoid another evening with you, Commander Jensen.” Mary felt her blood rising as the chorus of male laughter came from around the table. She had to hold her tongue – this was the Exec Council, the club of captains that ran Foster City, the old boy club that outranked her and mocked her orientation openly. She didn't recall it being this bad before maternity leave, maybe she was just more sensitive now. Her life partner Liz was the only other female officer on the Exec Council. They knew they were tolerated in this group only because they were competent.

Hotel In The Space
Orbital ATK's plan is to begin building its Voyager station in 2026, giving it about a year to build before it can host 2027 guests. Travel looks more ambitious with plans for a Voyager station hotel in space and could open in 2027. The team behind Voyager has hinted at a future partnership with SpaceX's Starship System to take the hotel to space, but we know the space station will be open to guests by then.
