Dream Connection Fiction by Sam Aurelius Milam III
Sleeping
peacefully, in his dream he called her again, the fifth time that evening.
He was determined to change her mind. In his dream, he invited her
to his place, for a late evening snack and maybe to watch a video from
his collection. In his dream, she yelled at him to stop harassing
her, to leave her alone. In his dream, she refused his invitation.
Sleeping
peacefully, in her dream the telephone rang again, the fifth time that
evening. In her dream, he tried again to get her to come over for
a visit. In her dream, she refused and demanded that he leave her
alone.
Sleeping
peacefully, in his dream, he called her one last time, and again invited
her over for a visit. In a cold, hard voice, in his dream, she told
him that she'd be there soon but that he wouldn't like it.
Sleeping
peacefully, in her dream, the telephone rang again. She'd had all
that she could take. In a cold, hard voice, she agreed to his invitation,
but told him that he wouldn't like it.
Sleeping
peacefully, in his dream, he made a few preparations for her visit.
Sleeping
peacefully, in her dream, she went into her office, unlocked her safe,
and took out her pistol. Wearing only her robe, she drove across
town to his place.
Sleeping
peacefully, in his dream, when the doorbell rang, he went into the front
room and opened the door.
Sleeping
peacefully, in her dream, she rang the bell. When he opened the door,
she shot him in the head.
The
next morning, she'd completely forgotten her dream. It didn't really
matter anyway because, in her waking life, she'd never even met the man.
She didn't even own a gun.
A
week later, after some of his friends reported him missing, the police
broke into his house. They found him laying in bed. He was
dead, with a gunshot wound in his head.
The
police didn't find a bullet, anywhere, just a head wound that had been
made by a bullet. They didn't find a spent cartridge or even any
gunshot residue. There weren't any fingerprints. There wasn't
any sign of forced entry. There weren't any clues at all. There
weren't any suspects. Everybody that he knew had an alibi.
It
was a perfect crime, the kind of crime that happens only in dreams.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif)
We've Lost Our
Bearings Sam Aurelius Milam III
I
can remember when rotating parts had bearings that could be periodically
lubricated. Even the motors on electric fans had oil cups.
It was a long time ago, but things really were that way.
I
remember when stuff started to show up with permanently lubricated bearings.
Such bearings were guaranteed for the life of the product. Eventually,
I realized that the life of the product is defined as having expired when
the bearing fails. Today, lawn mowers don't even have oil drain plugs.
We're told that oil changes aren't necessary. Wear it out, throw
it away, and buy a new one.
Just
in case failed bearings don't guarantee that an item will be discarded,
and replaced by a new one, the marketing persuaders make sure that replacement
parts are not available. It's all a part of the throw-away economy,
driven by forced obsolescence.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Zerothink Sam Aurelius Milam III
Here's
a test. Does somebody believe that the father determines the gender
of the child? If so, then that person fails the test.
Too bad but, as it happens, the gender of the child is determined by the
mother.
Yeah,
I know. The gender of a child is determined according to whether
an egg is fertilized by a sperm containing an X chromosome or by a sperm
containing a Y chromosome. So, which kind of sperms does a man provide?
He provides both kinds. If he provided only one kind or the other,
then he'd make the choice, but he doesn't. He provides both kinds.
Imagine that. The man doesn't make the choice. The man offers
the choice. The choice is made inside of the mother, when one kind
of sperm or the other is accepted.
It's
logical and it's obvious. It's even self-evident. Why don't
people think of it themselves? Why do they believe a lie? Maybe
they've been taught to not think at all, but merely to respond, and to
mindlessly believe whatever some "expert" tells them.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Stray Thoughts Sam Aurelius Milam III • The
almost universal need for religion, throughout all of known human history,
is a fatal flaw in the personality of our species and a good argument in
favor of the belief that people are inherently stupid.
• Any
cause that's worth dying for is also worth living for. Living for
a cause might not be as heroic, but it's probably more useful.
• There
isn't any such thing as an illegitimate child. Regardless of the
behavior of the parents, every child is legitimate.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif)
