Who Or What Is The Woke Mob?
By way of metonymy, the 'woke' mob gets thrown around quite a lot in our modern political arena. So, what exactly do you think it means? And, what’s the best way to capture the essence of the message being conveyed, without being overly (or perhaps unbearably), critical of the Left? I’ve come up with a story to do just that. So here’s my personal reflection on what or who the 'woke' mob may be….

The Daughter of Atlas
I sat alone, taking in the sight of the dying day. Nothing but the rhythmic sound of the tide ebbing and flowing interrupted the tranquility of my Isle. Purples and golds stretched across the evening sky, as sculpted clouds lazily passed through it. On my lips a song began. An old one, from a time before the Greeks came to be. There in the distance, I could see a speck. A small ship loaded down with food and drink. A single man steered it. Odysseus. My dear Odysseus.

100,000 worth of cake
After retiring, Henry Sr. opened a pastry store and spends his days in the store with his grandson Jimmy. When it comes to Old Henry's pastry-making skills, that is one word - "excellent"! He made the cake not only taste good, and the cake pattern is fancier, as long as the customer said the famous things, he can make the pattern on the cake, so the people who came to order the cake are particularly large.

The Big Bad Wolf
One day, many animals were invited to the forest, except for the Big Bad Wolf who did not receive the invitation. On this day, the Big Bad Wolf saw many animals coming to the highest tree, and he felt very strange, so he quietly followed behind, and one small animal saw the Big Bad Wolf and shouted, "Quick, quick, run away! There is a big bad wolf." When the animals heard it, they scampered around, and in a short time, the animals under the big tree ran away without a trace, leaving only the big wolf alone. The Big Bad Wolf cried and said, "Why is there no animal playing with me?" The owl heard the cry and flew over and said, "Because everyone is afraid of you, so they don't play with you." "Why are you telling me this." The big bad wolf said. The owl said, "Because I know you are lonely, but you have to be friendly when you make friends, goodbye." The big bad wolf said, "Thank you, owl, goodbye."

Is there really such a thing as a vacuum of space?
In the vast emptiness of space, there is no sound. But that doesn't stop people from screaming. Some people scream when they're excited, like when they're finally able to walk in zero gravity. Others scream when they're scared, like when they see a meteorite hurtling towards their ship.

The Sea Girl and The Sandman: Now We Have Cats
Where We Are This follows on from “The Sea Girl, The Sandman and The Christmas Kittens” and does sort of break up the sequence of the series but that is the nature of life, multiple things can follow on from single events, but these stories also stand alone. This is not so much a story as a situational description, essentially about the effect that cats can have on a household.
