This story, They Stole God, is one of my favorites from this collection, delving into theology, cosmology, ethics & morality, while telling a tale that ends up containing dramatic & violent bank robberies and the violation of the sanctity of religious dogma – by force. Follow a group of monk-like religious adepts and their friends as they find that the deeper into the secrets of their religion they delve, the more impossible their escape from its clutches becomes. Some readers may want to look up the nature of such far-flung physics concepts as dark matter, dark energy, and the nature of singularities to understand the full scope of theology herein, and others will just want to know what strange plan they come up with next.

Ep. 175: Two poems from Worth 1k — Volume 1
The first of these two poems I wrote after spending a delightful morning & lunch with a woman I met in the tour group I took through Temple Square. We continued wandering around the various historical sites in downtown SLC, talking and having a good time, and then had lunch together before parting ways. She was in town for a convention and I was just passing through, and it was nice to be able to make a human connection so quickly and randomly. The second poem is a haiku I wrote while driving away from SLC, about a particularly striking view to be had there.
Ep. 174: Welcome to The Family (a short story) part 2/2
This story, Welcome to The Family, is about a strange group of cyborgs – not people with robotic limbs or organs, but whose physiology at a cellular level is a co-mingling of organic and robotic components. Cyborgs whose gross physiology bears no resemblance to the people they were before becoming members of this tight-knit group known as ‘The Family.’ This story, really, is about a boy in love, and the lengths he’ll go to to try to save the girl he loves from succumbing to the fate he himself has fallen prey to. Will he be able to protect her from becoming a member of The Family?
