I’ve spent a month or so with very poor health and plenty of time to be sober and introspective. What have I gleaned from this time? Two things.
1. No one else will ever care as much as I do or in the same way as I do about the idiosyncratic minutia that bothers me the most about this largely pointless mortal coil.
2. No...

“Yacob came out alone to the meadow and trapsed out here into the deep woods until I came upon him only a few hundred yards from this place. I was cordially invited to attend the sentencing of my beloved brother for his theft and his insane heresies, which means I was tracked down and punched into submission by my...

Jacqueline stopped for a minute and looked at Felecia until Felecia turned her eyes away and found an inconspicuous spot of earth to stare at instead. “You’re bright, girl. You know where the rest of this goes. Never figured the towering monster/mother of your youth for a coward, did you? The kind of feckless wretch that let’s others do...

“She didn’t throw me out because of it either. She never made mention of it or expressed that she knew. My indiscretion didn’t factor in her plans. Your grandmother waited until our mother was too far gone to raise more than a whimper of complaint and she threatened the house staff to do it for her. I wasn’t but...

Felecia recited what she had gleaned from the book and its young and still angry author. “He spent his formative years in a hovel with his mother, they lived in the shadow of the big house watching it be built while they hunted and gathered for food and water. He met with the natives and used them for his...

The worst part about Washington states mandatory long term care plan isn't even that it's the inevitable beginning of stupid, filthy rich Dem politicians finally enacting payroll taxes in this state. It's not the naked grab for even more of our money on bad ideas implemented too little and far too late, and it isn't that this plan in particular seeks at its core to...

The book turned out to be just as coded and full of infuriating tidbits of the writers real life as the book written by Felecia’s great, great grandmother. Great uncle Phineas was the second son of Tiasa and Albert, behind son Jeremiah and ahead of daughters Abigail and Fionna. He made easy and often mention within the book of...

Felecia was fourteen and staring head long into another winter spent in the cave, another time of cold conjoined isolation with Jacqueline’s declining presence. The time spent in Phillip’s house seemed like a fading memory then and all her years spent in Rotary house felt like a distant dream that belonged to some other, younger and more hopeful girl....

"Politically speaking, the murder of John Brown would be an uncorrectable sin. It would create in the Union a latent fissure that would in the long run dislocate it. Brown's agony might perhaps consolidate slavery in Virginia, but it would certainly shake the whole American democracy. You save your shame, but you kill your glory. Morally speaking, it seems a part of the human light...

“It wants me to hurt the people at Rotary house, it wants me to destroy that place. Is that what it wanted you to do?”
Jacqueline kept on walking behind Felecia, the old woman started doing that back at the beach after the boat and had continued doing so ever since. Felecia wound up leading them to the meadow...
