Genx Stories

In the shadowed hours when sleep evades the weary soul, we build altars from the fragments of a fractured world - raw free verse that confronts the ego's crushing weight and the digital haze of modern exile. These poems draw from noir nights and Catholic introspection, unearthing resilience amid PTSD's echoes, Ozark folklore's whispers, and a faith that questions even as it clings to Christ's sacrifice in the stranger's gaze. Here, beauty blooms in imperfection: an outlaw's crown forged from internal turmoil, societal manipulation, and the slow, deliberate repair of a GenX heart scarred by life's dust and screen-lit nihilism. With a gravelly edge and a defiant grace, the collection favors practical gratitude over grand illusion - inviting readers to linger at these insomniac altars, where transformation whispers louder than chaos. For readers who crave poetry that bleeds honesty, resists the rush of progress, and finds divinity in the everyday grind. A collection that listens for one blood's cry - and lingers like a half-remembered dream.

A nuclear strike is imminent in 90 minutes, your partner is miles away at work, the kids are across town in school and none of the cell networks are up. Do you have a plan? Meet the Tams, an ordinary American family as they confront a scenario that we are shockingly on the brink of today -complete isolation. They must find their way back to each other and decide what to do next without any information to go on except America is under attack. Yet there are no tanks, planes, or cars to be seen. There are no soldiers on the ground or places to get reliable information. Everyone is acting on instincts, some are leaving out of fear while others still don't believe a war is taking place at all. After the destruction and mayhem, the government arrives with promises of normalcy that clash with rumors of dwindling supplies. Fred's decision to leave with his family leads them on a perilous journey toward Arrow Hall-a sanctuary in the mountains. There, they uncover the truth behind the apocalypse and find unexpected allies.

July, 1983. That's when I first saw them. The five men that would become my focus for most of my life. Duran Duran. Each fan of this particular band has their own personal story to tell, whether it be short, or long. This is my tale. My fandom experiences from my perspective. How this band has affected my life. Probably forever.

Childhood Memories - poetry that reveals the exciting, joyful, energetic, passionate, blissful, raging, and painful childhood experiences of Baby Boomers growing up in the '50s, '60s and '70s. At least, that's what I think it will do ;) ©️ 2019-2025 Mark Toney

What makes you a millennial? Would you believe me if I told you it's because of the positions of the planets and stars when you were born? We've used science and statistics in futility to solve the baffling millennial problem. Mankind may just have one more trick up its sleeve: the age-old art of astrology. The precise delineations of each generation and their particular distinctions are finally within reach. Through historical data, actual examples from well-known people, and fun quotations, I recount the colorful saga of the 21st Century generations while attempting to reconcile their differences through the well-known "pseudoscience." In this book, read about: - The exact birth periods (to the MINUTE) of each generation - The different generations since the 1880's, explained - Historical figures and how they fit into each generation - The different sub-classifications of millennials - How to deal with your millennial - ...and more fun and cutting-edge information! Whether you're skeptical or not, admit it: aren't you just a little curious?

My Generation X experience. They called us the lost generation or the whatever generation, but I know that we were much more than that. Yea, we didn't give a hoot about a lot of the things going on in the world, but we had a lot more going on than you'd think. This is just a humourous look at the decades we lived through back then. I wouldn't have wanted to have been born in any other time period. I feel super lucky to have been a part of JenX.
