Counterculture storie

Amy and Mike have always been inseparable siblings. But after Mike got drafted to fight in Vietnam, it's not only Amy who acutely feels his absence - his pregnant wife, Laura, also misses him dearly. Amy copes by writing and burying herself in her summer job and her own dream world. But, this tomboyish loner is growing up at the same time, starting a relationship with budding musician Jeff, who's got his own trouble to contend with. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, Mike battles with both physical and psychological enemies while protecting an orphaned girl. In this stirring drama of growing up, falling in love, and of the innocent victims of war, family remains at the center.

Personal Narrative about Sept 11th Attacks

In a future where silence is forbidden and every thought is drowned in noise, one man hears something he was never meant to. Ernst Keller, a weary audio archivist, discovers a rogue signal that invites him into a world beneath the static. As he dares to unplug, the overwhelming weight of true quiet nearly breaks him-and then begins to remake him. Hunted for his heresy, Ernst becomes the first "blank" in generations to listen for truth between the sounds. Echo Logic is the beginning of a whispered rebellion, where silence isn't empty-it's alive.

The man just wanted to go to sleep that night, but because of his age and gender, he wasn't allowed to.

Afterthoughts. Not Ex Machina, just Tabula Rasa.

Poem about harsh times with a sprained ankle

In the 1970s, Troy joined the wave of hippies and draft dodgers going back to the land to enjoy the "simple life." When his attempts at homesteading fail as miserably as his attempts at love, Troy devotes his time instead to building life-size dinosaur replicas from the broken farm machinery that litters the Ontario countryside. The simple life indeed, until a young woman claiming to be his daughter knocks on his cabin door, and Troy is finally forced to admit that, far from simplifying his life, he had complicated it more than he ever realized. "Old Bones" won the Canadian Authors Association prize for best short story and was first published in the journal "Existere." Praise for The Wolves of St. Peter's: “This is the third novel by the Canadian team of Buonaguro and Kirk, and it’s the best so far. The setting is Rome, 1508, and Michelangelo is hard at work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The master’s houseboy and dogsbody is Francesco Angeli and it’s Angeli who spots a body floating in the Tiber. It wasn’t such an unusual sight in those days, but when the corpse is dragged in, Angeli is astonished to find that he knows the dead woman. The writers are adept at plotting and they make great use of the grand artists who were in Rome at the time, along with the streets, smells and the brothels they attended. There are also floods on the rise to add to the suspense as Angeli hunts for a killer and attends to genius.” --Globe & Mail

Marcus, aka "w1n5t0n," is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works - and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. His whole world changes when, having skipped school, he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they're mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself. Can one teenage hacker fight back against a government out of control? Maybe, but only if he's really careful...and very, very smart.

I wrote this in Creative Writing man idk

"It May Be the Devil" extrapolates to the not-so-far future of human-machine interaction. Technology is progressively getting better and better at predicting our needs and wants, making life easier and easier. However, as machines are learning to adapt to us, we are adapting to the machines. Convenience comes at a cost: to the individuality that makes us human. "It May Be The Devil" introduces the unlikely alliance between an individualistic subculture and the machine intelligence that they rebelled against...

New poems about how it was and still might be. Hate the hippies? Sorry. You may leave now.

These are poems straight out my heart. Words that I could never say out aloud but have decided to write it down. These are part of my life, things that have happened, things that I have seen and things that I have felt. Straight from the heart tells a story that even I have yet to understand. Straight from the heart is straight from my heart, an organ that keeps beating till it can beat no more. This is my heart and these are my words. So take a look at my HEART and see all that it has to offer. @All rights reserved 2017 None of these poems can be copied in any way or form without permission from the author
