Another Book...
And here comes something for the season... I have decided to put out an electronic edition of 'A Techno Carol,' just in time for the holiday season.

MURDER IN THE BASEMENT
“He’s going to die. Obviously. No one knows where he is, and right now, he doesn’t know if they’ve stopped searching. In the long run, it won’t matter.

This dark basement will be the last world he knows. He’s ready. Or rather, he’s looking forward to it.”

The Sun That Rose Only When Needed
One winter, the sun stopped rising automatically. It appeared only when someone truly needed warmth—emotional or physical. The sky stayed dark longer, but people grew gentler, more attentive. Light had become precious, and so had one another.
