Excerpts from "Bradburnamov Robot Factory Memories"
“It was different in those days, you know? It was an honor, not a crime, to let your child to work in the factory, and if he wanted to leave (unlikely as that would ever be) there were a thousand other children in line waiting for the chance to work in that gorgeous place.”
“Of course it was an emotional moment, the day I cast the tie-breaking vote that began the ‘One World’ policy, and I knew in my bones it was right. Perhaps I cast my vote not as President of the former United…

Too Big For His Britches
Billy introduced himself this morning, and then made it perfectly clear he’d rather speak to the real Mother Nature--the one that knows what she’s doing. He stopped me in the driveway on my way to the car, my mind halfway to work already and looking forward to the cruise on heavy metal rails. I stopped and looked at Billy, my wiry little pine with twigs planted on his narrow gray hips, glaring at me with soft green needles and said, “You got a problem?”

Mrs. America, Not Coping
Doug's day was far from over, and he tried to distance himself from negative thoughts about the long drive home and what would probably be another exhausting night coping with his wife's dark mood.

Fireflies Attend The Court Of Aunt Gert
The musty porch was cluttered with winter's unused blankets and clothes, newspapers for wrapping who knows what down the road, dolls with eyes closed since the day their daughters left them behind for men with wheels. Great Aunt Gert and her niece slumped post-roast-beef style on the long, crackly couch taking turns rocking it on flawlessly, unsqueaky tracks. Great Aunt Gert was tired, very tired after a long, humid week, but she was happy to receive her niece before she departed for big…
