What Mouth Talking, Which Ears Hear?
Oh please let us have just one more child We promise to raise them meek and mild Never mind the children we will conceal Who will have to learn to cheat and steal Population worry is only for the poorest We are the richest, so all should adore us Population worry must haunt the richest […]
Serial Tuesday ~ Toliver
Chapter Two Darkness, blacker and denser than the heart of a black hole enveloped Toliver. He thought he blinked his eyes, but there was no reference, no way to compare. He could not feel his body below his neck, but his mouth felt stuffed with worms. Part of him thought he should gag, but it […]
