Unexpected Places



It seems that my story, "A Dog Of Wu," [@fandsf March/April 2018] 
has been cataloged at libraries for Laredo College in Texas [under "dystopias"] and Universided del Sagrado Corazón in Puerto Rico [under "master-servant relationships"].
Stories are like beach sand. They get everywhere.

Another Human Species

They've found new bones in the Philippines - maybe a new species: Homo Sapiens Luzonenis.
Add it to Homo Sapiens Denisova, Homo Sapiens Floriensis, and Homo Sapiens Naledi.
All recent [geologically speaking] and all...extinct.
We Sapiens Sapiens are the only ones left. The sole survivors. The...murderers???? [Cue terrifying Hitchcockian music]

My Back

Ah, back spasm.
We meet again, old comrade, old enemy.
For you I have broken elevator holds.
For you I have swallowed pills.
One day, my back shall be as dust.
What will you do then? Eh?
Victory shall be mine, even as the worms devour my flesh.
