Here be dragons.
I’m trying to understand about NFT’s (non-fungible tokens). The more I read the more this seems to be some kind of backlash to online games in which you work/grind/farm to get what is essentially a digital image or file, one copy of it, which you in fact do not own.

Why are game shows teaching people to scream, jump and jump on other people and things?
My Mother likes to watch game shows: The Price is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, and the odd other. Wheel of Fortune is the only game show I haven’t seen anyone jump on the host.… Read the rest
Fast food restaurants should begin serving happy meals for pets.
People seem to be having less human children and more pets. Some call themselves their pet’s parent. (I have never called myself the parent of an animal). People seem to need to keep their pets with them and bring them in the car.

To say we are bombarded by information is just scratching the surface. We are endlessly flogged with marketing, and information. Most of what we see and hear is marketing based, or focused on selling. Does it even turn off in our sleep any more? Do you have dreams with product placement?

My Mother read about this company, Peace by Chocolate. I was surprised to find it in the Vince’s grocery store just a few days later. I bought two of them, one for her and the Canadian maple for me (I don’t love hazelnuts and I am fond of almost anything Canadian).
The chocolate was really good!… Read the rest
I found a 53 word short story contest. I like limited word story writing. You need to consider each word, work with the order of your words and still have it all make sense and be a good story. Short stories are very under appreciated.
This is the story I wrote. It’s based on an idea I had very early this morning.
