How Fast do You Want to Go...

On the radio, you can hear the sweet whine of the engine. You can see the torque and rpm curves climbing strong and tight, on your laptop readout. Beside you in the pit, one of the tire guys is angry, almost in tears, a quiet guy who can lift two tires on each arm, a guy you wouldn’t want to mess with in a bar; he says, “The problem ain’t the motor, dude. And it ain’t the...

Eat or Be Eaten – Th...

Our planet is home to a terrifying savage zero-sum game, defined by finite resources. You were born into a shark tank— you must swim and hunt and feed, competing for resources, mates, space. On Earth, where creatures eat one another to maintain life, there is one great overriding mandate— Eat or be Eaten. At birth, you were given a set of tools. Your body. Your mind. With these two...

It’s a nightmare… opening...

The Salvaging of Sanity...

You drive into the high school parking lot, your wipers slashing at the heavy rain. It’s the first day of spring and students run from their cars and the school buses, into the dry halls of the high school. You’re heading for the faculty lot when you see them.
