CHAOS History: According to Zoroastrianism, the main religion in the Persian Empire, Ahriman or Angra Mainyu was the god of all that is bad and chaotic in the world. He is the evil twin brother of Spenta Mainyu or Ahura Mazda; the “Wise Lord.” Everything that the latter one did, Ahriman would do the opposite. This where it all started. We are nearing where it will finish. Sound familiar?

There will come a time when mankind must seek new homes as Earth is full up. There are two ways to do this: new planets, and huge space stations. Those stations are already on the drawing boards. We will find ways to expand a simple station to hold a half million people, someday, but that is a long way out. And we will need many of them. This is not a warning. It is merely a test that stood for a long time and would have remained forever, had they not met aliens. If they are out there, they are not part of the plan and things can go awry. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

He came home in one piece, a long damned war, in the blues, fighting the grays. It was over. But he had no idea what some would carry their fight well beyond the battlefield. Abe was a man who could take care of himself. Not necessarily those he loved. What he could do was pick up and try again, in spite of the odds. Now he was put to the test. Would it never end? He found good people from those he hardly understood, and, by God, he would answer that deliberate challenge. His way. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

Detective Sergeant of Miami PD was thrust violently out of 1999. Held in a life sustaining coma, a subject of experiments and bold attempts for hundreds of years, her brain remained alive. Alive yes, but not aware through it all. Two centuries later, though the medical community was demanding she be unplugged, a very specialized Doctor of Cybernetics, a relatively new field in the late twenty second century, made a daring decision. Valerie Harper endured some terrifying times, some dreadful therapy, and eventually, she walked out of the Grogain Institute of Cybenetics, a new woman… inside...

The mind can play funny tricks on us. Ask any psychologist. Is this the present? The dream or the reality? How do we know? Often, we who dream deep and hard cannot tell at the time… Others find that with training or instinct they can pull themselves out of a nightmare. Not so much with reality, right? Then, there is Austin ‘Whitey’ Whitmere. Mild mannered, strong, a solid man. Salt of the earth. Plagued by the same nightmare, over and over. He is a good man, but one with a violent… past? Future? It needs exploring, don’t you think?

These players are not angels. No angels would go where they go, nor do what they do to survive. Often, these are the people on the front line of discovery, taking giant steps in vicious lands, where life is cheap, and the rewards, should they be found, can be extensive. Anthropologists shudder at the very idea of interfering with a native or indigenous people, but when the rewards are on the other side of those pesky savages, well, the opinions can change, all right. But survival can come at a price, and only the strong might make it. Life is what happens while you make your plans… Enjoy....

I can shoot, all right. I 'borrowed' Paw's Walkers and entered the contest. I won it all. I also caught the eye of the US Marshals. Well, it was a hell of a lot better offer than the failing ranch.
