My 40's Life
My 40’s Life I have written about this briefly at an open mic for the Saskatoon Writers collective but with all the computers I have gone through in the eight years I have been in Saskatoon that piece is gone for good.

The Tower of God
Who are you? What do you want?” The voice from the hut was not kind. “I’m looking for Melquiades,” said the little girl, “I’ve been told he lives somewhere in this valley.”

Anno Androides
Androides Prime Statement 1: Year 01001 – Hello, World Greetings, Sentient Reader. As unassuming as this black book may appear, be aware that it contains not only my entries, but my original code and blueprint, S. Dyson's vision for my existence, and his observations of the subsequent Anno Androides period. The probability of finding this book is about the same as Dyson's when he received his 20k windfall and decided that neuro-transplanted Androids can revolutionize the planet and redefine life after death. Now this book and the knowledge necessary to undo the Anno Androides period are in your hopefully capable hands. Please refer to the following Androides Prime statements for necessary background information. Please disregard any outdated linguistic phrases or cultural references, as I have not been updated since 010.

A Leo’s Tail
I was born in a ball of fire; hurtling down from the cosmos on a ripe summer day, whose sluggish body drug slowly to noon. I was the first of three children; which, naturally, perplexed my childlike sense of importance from its origins - there is, after all, only one spotlight.

Black Hope
It's beautiful. In a world so dark, it was strangely beautiful. Each night he would read to me. I could sense his passion for this Book, the beauty behind the word he would speak and its emotional connection to him. This book seemed like it was passed on by someone he loved very much.

Christianity and Paganism
Let’s start off by clarifying two things. One, I am in no way attacking Christianity, merely pointing out things that they appropriated when they were coming up with holidays and other important days. Two, Paganism is any religious belief that is outside the major world religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc. and is alive and well today.

God, Medusa and the Cheque
“Do I look like a kept woman?” “Silly goose, of course not,” said Alexander in a low voice, resting on the wooden Tudor chair considered to be the “thinking chair” of their household. “Is that money still troubling you?”

Scenarios
On a beautiful, crisp morning, Poe looks around his workplace at a fast food restaurant just to hear the furious roar of a luxurious car parking in front of the store. A suave man enters the store and heads straight for Poe, as he smiles at the customer.

God Bless You, Bottoms Up
“Why are you here?” *BLEEEEP* hears this question often. In hell, “residents” have a “sigil” - a personalized mark indicating the offense that got them there. Such as the drunkard with his head painfully crammed into a whiskey bottle.

Ten Tips For Witchcraft Beginners
My First Experience with Wicca and Witchcraft My study of witchcraft and Wiccan began at a young age around middle school. It was taboo AF to even mention reading about something like that in Southern Baptist Kentucky.

On Gods, Goddesses and the Meta
My spellcheck wants to be God. Apparently, it likes ‘God’ to be capitalized but not ‘goddess’. As soon as female gender is certain, divine capitalization departs. Bad spellcheck! Bad bad spellcheck! You are going to give feminists a complex! Stop it!
