Today is the release day for “Truth in Advertising”! The original concept was of a paranoid individual who is easily discounted by his friends, and fits all the outward signs of a wacked-out conspiracy theorist. He is recruited by aliens to be their agent, because if he were to spill the beans, no one would … Continue reading

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Reconcilable Differences”
Memory is very interesting to me – that grey matter isn’t stone, and we all seem to remember things a bit differently from each other, and even from the ourselves of a year ago. All memory is unreliable – it takes some strength to admit this, and some work to compare multiple memories of the … Continue reading

Halloween is next week, so I’ll suggest an appropriate read for today’s Fractured Fragment – Here’s the blurb from “The Body” : A long-suffering, social-climbing son deals with more than the usual embarrassment of misbehaving parents, hoping to find acceptability in the certainty of their demise. If some things would just stay buried… Have you … Continue reading
