All in one voice the same voice sounding like a echo of God telling Archie "This

    William sighed happily at the solitude he greatly enjoyed in the mindscape. He quietly hummed to himself. Ever since his brother was busy tormenting some new puppet of his named Dipper Pines, (or as he called him, Pinetree) it has been quiet. The silence never tore into him. In fact, talking tore into the young demon more than the silence. His thoughts were interrupted by black void surrounding him. He looks around, startled. He had no idea what was going on and this had never happened before. He saw a flash of pale yellow light, almost white and felt himself being pulled towards it. He heard voices the more he was pulled.…

    The saga of old Geo. Ochenski continues. As Geo. sat on his rock, watching the Cadillac, getting smaller and smaller, until it was just a dot on the horizon before it disappeared over the hilltop. He sat there for some time, with his head in his hands. Contemplating, about what the elderly gentleman had said. As wheels of the mind began to turn the gears of thought, 'old Geo could almost hear them groan' from lack of usage. Suddenly the old 25 watt incandescent light bulb, lite up. Somewhere in the dark shadowy corners of his mind, stirred an almost unheard of phenomenal, reasoning was taking place. In panic Geo almost shelved it in disbelief. Slowly, oh so very slowly it came to the front of his mind. But, in the dim light of the 25 watt bulb, Geo was unable to understand it. Geo shook his head, in an effort to clear it. But, as with most things, Geo tried to do, it ended in failure. In shaking his head, Geo had accidentally turned on, the other 25 watt bulb on the right side of his brain, which he almost never used. As the light became brighter, Geo was slowly able to make out the printing in bold red, black and blue crayon, the words on the jello (sic) paper he was holding. It said, in bold…

    Boy in the Bubble

    When conducting the survey for whether David should have been removed from the bubble once doctors saw this his sister’s bone marrow was not a match for him, the winning answer was that no, David should not have been removed. To support this decision, the most important point to consider is that David’s life has been an essential study to develop the cure of SCID. By putting David in the bubble, doctors were able to learn more about SCID to help future generations. Whether you call this a “living experiment” or a “guinea pig”, there’s no doubt that researchers and doctors learned a great deal from David’s death to finally reach an experimental treatment in 1990. According to William Shearer, one of David’s doctors, "David's life was important, but his greatest contribution medically was his death, because with this information, we will be able to treat other children with this disease." After using David’s life as a resource for Doctors, a cure was developed through gene therapy in 1993. Keeping David in the bubble for as long as they could was the best thing the doctors could do for David, because had they let him out, they knew death was certain for him. Had they let him out, they would be euthanizing David against his wishes. David and his family always had the option to let him out of the bubble whenever they wanted. Because David’s life was essential to help future generations of SCID patients, David should not have been removed from the bubble once they saw his sister’s bone marrow was not a match for…

    The engaging, alluring scent of the wildflowers on a farm matches that of fabric softener, expensive lotions, and fresh pinecones, but about 100 yards from this pleasing scent exists a rather smelly one that comes from the hog houses filled with the feces of a thousand pigs. When the noun smell becomes the adjective smelly, it changes the meaning-- changes it from an engaging alluring scent to a repulsive, vile one. This bad smell resembles the scents of Farty Fred, Pig-Pen, and David Smith.…

    As you are growing older, I have noticed your fascination with superheroes and their role in the world today. As you begin your own adventures and explorations, I felt that it would be necessary for you to understand the path of heroism and the theory developed by the 1950 author, Joseph Campbell in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Someday, later in your life, you will look back and be able to follow your own exploits, comparably to those similar guidelines that every hero must confront as observed by Campbell. It is only a few weeks until the opening of this century’s greatest super hero, Superman, and his tale is very relevant to the term coined by Joseph Campbell as, “The Heroic Monomyth”. (Oracle) In order for you to better understand the Monomyth cycle, as designed by Joseph Campbell, the conflicts of Superman will be presented as the hero for your instruction.…

    I once lived an American Dream in Midwest America through the vision of a perfect stranger who went on to become my soul friend. He used to live in a tiny town called Perham in Minnesota. The town had a population of only 1,000 people at that time (this was in 1990). He was a typical American jock. He used to love everything his country could offer a rowdy all American white boy: blonde women, fast food, fast cars, American football, beer, and the chance to pick up fights at college fraternity parties. He was full of American capitalism. His name was James Scott Morris. I fondly called him, Jimmy boy.…

    I eventually broke through the jungle onto a beach to find myself among other kids and kiddies some of which I recognized. We made our way towards the source of the booming noise, a boy who was well built like a boxer or wrestler. The boy carried himself in a stately fashion. Perhaps, the object he was carrying, which was the source of the noise, made him seem adult-like. All of a sudden a blob of black appeared at a great distance moving towards us, and slowly, the blob formed into a brood of choirboys. The leader, named Jack, commanded his group to stand still until one of the boys became knackered and collapsed. It was here where Jack allowed them the clemency to sit on their bums. Following this, we voted on who should be our leader, like Winston Churchill. Most of the other boys and I voted for Ralph, while all the choirboys voted for Jack. Ralph ended up getting voted as our…

    Born in the 1950’s the world was recovering from World War II. Being the youngest out of 5 brothers and sisters meant he was the baby. Technology was just getting started. Television came out in the 1950’s, but being born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico electricity was still rare there. But my dad was privileged to live in the biggest house in the city, at the time. “We used candles until I was 8.” My dad smiles as he remembers the times when he would sit the table with his siblings exchanging scary stories. “They would say if you would go out into the woods at night by yourself you would see this devil-like creature that had one horse foot, and a big hat. But since I was the most daring, I went out one night, five blocks away from home, to try to find it but my mother came out and found me and dragged me by my ear all the way home.” “I was raised in a Catholic oriented home, that meant I had to put god first before anything else. And if I was bad I would get a punishment.”…
