The mermaid.
I’ve always been intrigued with mermaids, and their legends. I’ve met real ones, well, at least ladies who dress up as mermaids and work in a bar entertaining patrons by swimming in a large aquarium behind the bar while the patrons drink. So I thought about weaving a story around a mermaid and their legends.

Death ship
The year is 1492, although you don’t know that. You aren’t Christian, or European. You are native to this land, and you and your ancestors have lived here since the beginning. And one day, this alien craft appears out of the clouds during a storm, and alien men come out of the craft that you have never seen before, pale white skin, colored hair ranging from black to red, with some white blonde also. And blue eyes. Wearing clothes that are strange. Talking a language that you don’t understand. Waving weapons of war unknown to you. But you welcome them anyway, as is your custom. Your world is about to change forever. For the worse. Most of your people will die, and those that don’t die will be imprisoned in steel cages, or banished from your ancestral lands and be fugitives, hunted down like vermin. Your children will be taken from you, and made to be like the aliens. Your language and customs will be lost. It is a time of great sorrow. Your world has come to an end.

The effects of coffee, or should I say, the lack of coffee.
I love my wife, she’s a wonderful, loving, caring, beautiful lady, who I have been married to for 45 years. She’s my best friend. I trust her implicitly. I’m her best friend, and she trusts me Implicitly as well. I know everything about her, what makes her laugh, what music she loves, what movies she watches. We finish eachother’s sentences. So it sounds like we are good together, right? Well, we are, but I have to walk a straight line between carefree loving and knowing when not to cross that line. Even by mistake. Like making sure I don’t run out of coffee in the can in the kitchen cupboard, let alone a backup can in the pantry. It’s the little things like that, forgetting to give her some morning coffee, which can take her over the edge, and bring out the inner monster. It’s a scary thing to behold, and after seeing it once, I never want to see it again. How can something so hideous and nightmarish be inside my beautiful wife, lurking in there and come out attacking over something so trivial as coffee? But it’s not just my wife, We have a friend that is so sweet and amenial to everyone, even people who are mean to her. But if she doesn’t get her morning cup of coffee, sometimes even two or three cups, with an extra shot of espresso thrown in, the inner monster comes out roaring, and heaven help you if you are in front of her. It can be shocking. That could explain road rage, and mass killings at schools. Coffee is a necessary drink to have to suppress the monster inside. You definitely don’t want to release it into the general population. So maybe I’m kind of exaggerating, but only a little. If they don’t have their morning fix and boost of caffeine, they are discobulated all day, and makes life miserable for everyone around them, and especially their closest friends…ie, their spouse. In the case of my wife, that means me. Oh, and by the way, my wife, who read this story, made me say that it is a fictional story, especially about her inner monster. So disclaimer… this is a fictional story. “ yes dear, sorry dear. Oh, here, I made you a fresh cup of coffee, just like you like it. Enjoy!

You’re so beautiful, I could eat you up.
“you are so beautiful and sexy, I could just eat you up.” I said to her. “Oh really!”she replied, with a mischievous smile, and a glint in her eye. “Put your money where your mouth is, don’t brag about it, tell me about it. I’m all ears” she challenged me. So, taking a deep breath, I told her my fantasy about what I would like to do to her and with her. I was taking a risk, because I had just known her a short while, and did not know her well enough to know how she would take this fantasy. She would either love it and embrace it , or reject it and and then me also. So here goes!

We are a country of immigrants.
since the beginning, this country has been populated with immigrants, sometimes waves of immigrants.Like the first wave of European settlers. They were accepted by the the indigenous Native Americans, but quickly it turned to resistance, as the settlers kept coming, with a different lifestyles, different laws and ways. There was a struggle to integrate into their existing society, but for the most part that didn’t happen. The indigenous people had to integrate into the settlers society, or die. Which they did. They came close to extinction. They were imprisoned, forced off their land, placed into reservations, had their children taken away from them. So although this example of a wave of immigration is not the typical, it does show that immigration is hard and assimilation is not easily granted.

The whistleblower.
so, I’m about to retire from one of the government’s 3 letter agencies that no one’s ever heard of, an intelligence agency. I’m not much an analyst as an information operative, or more accurately an misinformation officer whose job it is to be a magician for the public…you know, like a magician, hold everyone’s attention by waving your left hand while your right hand does something sneaky that no one sees. And so it appears like magic, but it’s not really. I’m paid to lie and fool everyone about what the government is doing. For the good of the National interest, for us, or you, the people. Maybe.

Emerging from disaster.
My name is Tracie, and this is my story. So, I was just scrolling through Facebook, when a post on Emergency RV caught my eye. They were asking for someone to deliver a camper to a single mom and kids. She was a survivor from the LA fires, who had lost their house in the fire, and with it their innocence and their safety net. Their confidence was shattered.They have been waiting, and the delivery had fallen through several times. As a survivor of the Camp Fire, in Paradise, Northern California, where I had lost my home and business, where I met John and Susie, the people running theEmergency R.V. Organization, this touched me. Really, touched me. It's like God was tapping on my shoulder, saying, you can do this one. She needs help, nobody else is coming, right now. So, I prayed for confirmation, and didn't even finish my prayer. So I messaged John, I had taken a week off to do maintenance in my motorhome, which still needs to be done, but no help was coming for me either. I can do this, anytime. I'm not going anywhere, right now. Too much work to do.

Tracing your ancestral history.
All my married life, I have heard about my wife’s Native American roots, that she has a Ojibwe native in her family tree. My wife is a California hippie, blue eyes, blond hair, furthest from a Native American that you could imagine. Every once in a while, she would find more information, then later on she would dig, and find more. What she found out first was as a child, her grand mother told her the “shameful” story of her ancestor, Barbara, an Indian woman who was kidnapped by her German immigrant ancestor up in Michigan sometime in the early 1800s, and taken as his wife. The shame mentioned by her grandmother was not the kidnapping of Barbara, but that Indian blood was now running through her veins. That was the attitude of Americans up til the 1980s. That is the only native blood in her line, so it is pretty small. But she identifies with it, and is proud of it. It grounds her more to this country than just being a 17th generation born in America, starting from the first ancestor who came on the Mayflower.

Marilyn Monroe
my wife loves Marilyn Monroe. So when I was scrolling through the internet one day, I came across some photos of Marilyn wearing a strange dress made of potato sacking with potato print on it. I showed my wife and she was immediately anamoured to it, and wanted to know more. So after some research, here it is.

The Berlin Wall.
The 155-kilometer-long Berlin Wall, which cut through the middle of the city center, surrounded West Berlin from August 13, 1961 to November 9, 1989. the Berlin Wall rose—and how it fell, is a fascinating story that is now history. Berlin Wall was a physical barrier constructed by East Germany in 1961 to separate East and West Berlin, and it became a symbol of the Cold War. It was erected to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the West, and it remained in place until its fall in 1989, marking a significant event in the end of the Cold War.

Names convey stories, traditions, and a clear perception of the world — how we see it, how we imagine it, how we position ourselves in the present, past, and future, and how we understand our role and relationship with other living things.

Atheist or Agnostic.
Agnosticism is a philosophical view that the existence of God or the supernatural is either unknowable or not knowable. It's a stance that neither affirms nor denies the existence of such entities, holding that they may be beyond human comprehension or knowledge. Agnostics may also exhibit skepticism towards religious claims and beliefs.
