Il ne rêve pourtantque de çä!Cette histoire, pleine d'elfes et d'humour, est tirée de la chanson de David Myles, ¿Santa Never Brings me a Banjö, et adaptée en français par nulle autre que la grande Marie-Jo Thério.

Un soir d'été, ce couple heureux de vivre leur amour a voulu agrandir la famille, donner un sens à leur vie et le partager avec un enfant. La nature consentira la rencontre entre le spermatozoïde et l'ovule et laissera ce flagelle pousser la porte de la vie.Pour être le premier, tu vas parcourir un chemin qui est rempli d'embûches, dont tu ne connais pas les obstacles. Cela s'appelle l'inconnu. Malgré le fossé qu'il y a et les étapes à franchir, tu es déterminé à ne pas te laisser influencer par la peur de l'inconnu.Ce petit têtard que tu es au milieu des autres s'est dépassé pour être le premier et atteindre l'objectif. Une force intérieure t'a poussé et tu as franchi tous les paliers. Au bout de neuf mois, tes parents t'ont accueilli. La dernière phase fut un moment difficile, mais tu l'as franchie.Tes parents t'ont fait un cadeau; ils t'ont donné la vie, avec un grand V pour VIVRE pleinement et découvrir le monde qui t'entoure, t'enrichir intellectuellement afin de t'épanouir.

Lei appartiene ad un altro mondo. Colpita da una strana malattia che confonde i medici umani, Neera decide di rivolgersi a quelli alieni. La prognosi? Lei non è quella che ha sempre creduto di essere: l'atmosfera della Terra la sta lentamente uccidendo. Troppo al verde per permettersi il folle costo del trasferimento in un mondo nuovo e più adatto a lei, Neera si rivolge disperata all'Agenzia Primaria. Il suo abbinamento? Un tritone sexy, con squame rosa, capelli scarlatti e una voce che le fa arricciare le dita dei piedi. Quando Echo viene a sapere che l'Agenzia ha finalmente trovato una compagna per lui è al settimo cielo. Scoprire che la salute compromessa della sua compagna richiederà molta cura e nutrimento durante la sua guarigione fa emergere il suo istinto protettivo. Nonostante qualche imbarazzo iniziale, il coraggio, la resistenza e la personalità birichina di lei lo affascinano. Ma mentre Neera si evolve nel suo vero io, è possibile che anche questo paradiso ritrovato si riveli tossico per lei? Sarà forse costretta a lasciarsi alle spalle la nascente felicità che ha trovato qui con Echo?

Had there been this medical procedure, the sampling of amniotic fluid to screen for the development of a fetus, including sex determination, the following scintillating words would not have been written. Robert's mother had decided to stop at two children. The Depression was depressing, and well, two is enough. Joel and Seymour were twelve years and nine years older than Robert. You do the math. When his grandmother, Rebecca, died, his mother wanted a girl to name after her. She decided to let this pregnancy make it through to term, go with the flow. This was, after all, a sign. A rogue sperm had found its way to an ancient ovary. She just knew it would be a girl. Robert surreptitiously slipped into this world by default. So, here he is, this accident waiting to happen, happy to be hanging out on this Earth. It's all good, so good. There he was, born with a crayon in his hand on October fourth. Ten-Four, over and out. He slept in the crack between two beds until his oldest brother moved out to join the Coast Guard. When you're introduced to the grand scheme this way, you have a leg up. You're not supposed to be here, be around, exist. So, hey, every moment is a gift. You're playing with house money, always in the bonus round, right from the get-go. Now, much closer to ephemeral dust in the wind than birth, he is heard to say, "I'll take 'Existentialism' $2,000, Alex." Robert's journey takes us from the hardscrabble streets of Post-Depression Brooklyn to the dunes of a Sartre-like Rockaway beach. Tales are couched in the conceit of Dinner Theater as he peers out from the wings, gains the courage to emerge, mingle, improvise and clutch the stage mike.

4,000 years has passed a promise was made for the return to bring salvation to all who eagerly awaits him. Man-kind has become strangers. A prostitute, given a chance at a new life, a new beginning, a gift of a child that changed the world. A battle between good and evil. Seven strangers drawn to this woman, who was she? And why were they drawn to her. No one really knew what their role were until it all came together, each one given a chance at forgiveness to protect a mother and her child will they succeed? The storms were brewing. A global shut down, a pandemic a race war brewing. Political discourse. A cry of a people. The rise of false prophet's, was history repeating itself? It was written but this time it's about salvation...

"Life is filled with unexpected events." How true. We plan for the future and live our lives anticipating what we think will happen. Then the unexpected occurs. Unforeseen events intrude and disrupt our plans. Things turn out differently from anything we imagined, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. We are humbled when we discover the limits of our ability to foresee the future. But whether for good or for bad, unexpected events make it certain that life will always be interesting. The same is true for short stories. Unexpected events produce reactions in characters that we recognize from our own experiences. We imagine what we would do if we encountered the same surprise occurrences. A good short story can remind us of who we are or teach us something new about ourselves. Or it may just make us glad that the events depicted didn't happen to us. Told with humor, irony and a touch of social commentary, the stories in this collection tell of modern day situations that are sure to entertain.

Spring break mid-1990s in a small California beach town. A middle-aged man suffering a 'mid-life crisis' meets a young woman while out barhopping with a friend, and in less time than it takes for a few strokes of a Corona bottle, she creates an emotional whirlpool that will threaten his sanity. Yet will eventually lead to uncovering a murder.Narrated in nearly-stream-of-consciousness by the man as he spends the next couple of days floating through a movable bubble of strange, but wondrous daydreams beyond his imagination, spiced by illusions of the young woman. Engulfed within those hallucinatory outings still churns the 'crisis' he is experiencing - divorce after a longtime marriage collapsed, then financial ruin, followed by guilt over not being there for his children, chaos made the worse by booze.A mental state also intensified by his desire to creatively write again, dabbling even in poetry, a literary form he hadn't messed with for near two decades. And also discovering he can cry too easily.Instead of employment at a level with his age, his life's work, and education, he's chief night cook at a popular Italian pizzeria in Pismo Beach, an old, old guy compared to his way-youthful co-workers. However, he develops a knack for the phrase, 'Yeah right, ' and the music of 4 Non Blondes.Spring break at a pizza joint is beyond the concept of pandemonium, yet he handles the pressure, though, in a whining-like poise. Despite the restaurant getting slammed, and all the rush, disorder, and craziness that comes from it, the young woman makes two visionary visits, once playing out the scene at the bar - near-insane situations he conceals by playing dumb, which as it turns out, is quite easy.Along with the cook's job, he also occasionally prepares legal documents for his friend from the bar, a lawyer who's reeling through a similar 'crisis' of divorce, and child guilt, who can't seem to stay sober. In a short time, the two had developed an intense camaraderie of oddball misery - listening to their conversations one would think they were illiterate rednecks, cussing everything, and using the most-horrible grammar. Nonetheless, they're 'best buds, ' so in the words of the cook/writer's 15-year-old daughter, with whom from time to time also shares a toke or two off a joint.Two days following the meeting in the bar, and after a county courthouse visit to file a motion in a nasty divorce case, he encounters the young woman on the sidewalk, finds her to be much older in age, and too, carried a long-forgotten footnote tied to his distant past. A sensual trek through a seemingly hallucinogenic-like wormhole into a nostalgic neighborhood fabricated from a youthful, maybe more-secure time, generates an unraveling criminal scenario.In like manner, he faces an abhorrent sacrifice in obtaining justice for that story.A mystery is a mystery until it's not. Visually written, "Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona" is a quick-paced exploration of life and love through the years, even beyond murder, with knowledge of the crime elucidated by the murder victim.
