"Dear Waldo, "My moron brother Lance is obsessed with the idea that there's millions and millions of other planets with life on them. How do I break the news to him it isn't so? "Sincerely, "Bruno" "Dear Bruno, "Before I answer your question, I'd like to point out that there is no such thing as a moron or an idiot or an imbecile. There are only living things that know different things than you know. "To answer your question, let's take a look at this thing called Life that your brother is talking about. Of course there's a much earlier model of Living Things: Plants. The basic different between Animals and Plants is that Animals are cordless, whereas Plants have to be plugged in..." "Dear Waldo, "I have done a horrible thing. It's such a horrible thing that I can't tell anybody. I'm hoping you can help me. "Anonymous" "Dear Anonymous, "Unless you're born and then die real quick, you will live to do what you think are horrible things. May I take me, for instance?

A few days later my father poured some chloroform on to a rag and put the rag and the bunny into a shoe box and held it tight until everything stopped moving... "In my opinion we all have a Treasure Box in our heads. It's where we store our essence: The greatest of our great pleasures, our proud moments, and great sorrows. So why not place into that same Treasure Box the most horrible of our horrors? "Anonymous, answer honestly: which has done a better job of sharpening your focus--the good things you've done, or the bad things? "And so, Anonymous, that horrible thing you did that broke no laws and hurt no one but yourself? Toss it in your Treasure Box and move on. "Your fan, "Waldo Mellon"

Download or read book The Music of Your Life written by John Rowell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a voice that is both sophisticated and deeply Southern, author John Rowell evokes the memory of the great Truman Capote in this wonderful collection of short stories, peopled with unforgettable, endearing characters and filled with wry insights. Drawn from the emotional well of a young man who grew up in love with the glittery, glamorous world of music and movies and theater—far removed from his own more prosaic life in North Carolina—and informed with honesty and compassion, the seven short stories that comprise The Music of Your Life showcase the talent of a remarkably gifted writer. Compulsively readable and always accessible, each story takes the reader into the mind and heart of its central character, whether a young boy suffering from Lawrence Welk damage and teetering precariously on the edge of puberty ("The Music of Your Life") or a not-so-young-anymore man for whom fantasy and reality have become a terrifying blur and who finds himself slipping over the edge toward total meltdown ("Wildlife of Coastal Carolina"). Nostalgia plays a part in these stories as a somewhat jaded New York film critic looks back on his life and the movies that shaped him ("Spectators in Love"), and an aging flower-shop owner ruefully assesses the love he found and lost when, as an eighteen-year-old, he embarked on a Hollywood career that never soared but did include one particularly memorable appearance on the I Love Lucy television show ("Who Loves You?") These stories all create entire worlds within which the characters live and struggle to find their way. Funny, touching, serious, and tender, the tales within The Music of Your Life are sure to appeal to anyone who has ever known the awkwardness of being "different," and while life is often harsh for the stories' characters, the bold determination with which they persevere offers inspiration to all.

Download or read book Mine to Adore written by Kameron Claire and published by Snuggle Whore Press, LLC. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when the search & rescue veteran and his K9 get trapped in a remote mountain chalet with a gorgeous older woman during a freak winter storm? My first time on a ski slope in twenty years, I overestimated my abilities and got lost in a blizzard that hit the mountaintop faster than anyone expected. Trapped in the trees with a twisted knee and zero visibility, I’m quickly losing consciousness when an insistent wet nose and a pair of strong arms save me. Now I’m in a mountain cabin in front of a roaring fire and a muscle bound shirtless man who insists on getting me naked. Too bad it’s merely to save me from hypothermia and nothing else. Or is it? Lincoln Abrams is the sexiest man to ever put his hands on me. Even though he’s barely a few years older than my daughter, our age difference doesn’t deter him in seducing me at all. Charmingly sweet, supremely confident, and intent on adoring every inch of me, he is out of a romance novel (or maybe a porn), but either way, I grab hold of this opportunity with both hands and let him show me pleasure I didn’t know my body was capable of. Literally. When the question of his manwhoring past is brought to the forefront, I have to remind myself that this is nothing more than one amazing night born of proximity, anxiety, and convenience. I can’t expect a relationship with a man fifteen years my junior who lives in another state, and any fanciful dreams I had last night in the throes of orgasmic ecstasy must be forgotten. Linc doesn’t agree and refuses to let me ghost him, promising if I do, he’ll find and give me the spankings I desperately need. He says I’m his to adore, and he’s never letting me go. After one night off the mountain in Spring City, I might believe him. !! Formerly titled Snowed in with Search & Rescue !!

Download or read book Holy Radishes written by Roberto G. Fernàndez and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1995-06-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A host of memorable and wacky characters populate this satire of Cuban immigrant life. Lisander, the poet laureate, trades the golden laurel crown of yesteryear for a career as a rock musician. Dina, once the squirrel-costumed prostitute of MarinaÍs zoological luxury brothel, is now the mistress of the radish processing plant. Nelson goes nuts for the squirrel and Bernab? poses as a Nazi concentration camp survivor. The civic leaders who resort to the wilderness of Lake Okeechobess spend their days planning the liberation of their homeland while their wives toil in the radish plant and find consolidation in their shared memories of the Xawa Ladies Tennis Club and their canasta parties. While Holy Radishes is a parable of the Cuban immigrant community, it is, foremost, the story of Nelly Pardo, a dreamer who envisions herself in the paradise called Mondovi, where she has an intimate relationship with Rigoletto, her truffle-loving pet pig. And it is to fulfill her dreams for a better world that she will team up with redneck ex-cheerleader Mrs. James B. III who fabricates a mythical antebellum past to rival that of the immigrants. This unlikely alliance reflects the capacity of women to endure, survive, and overcome.
