  Jimmy Goggles the God by H. G. Wells is a satirical short story blending humor and social critique. The tale follows three friends—Treherne, James, and Borker—who salvage a pearl diver’s suit, dubbing it “Jimmy Goggles.” During a yachting trip, Treherne dons the suit to explore a sunken ship but is mistaken for a deity by an island tribe. Revered as a god, he exploits his newfound status, demanding riches and obedience. However, his actions lead to unintended consequences, exposing the absurdity of colonial exploitation and blind worship. Wells uses sharp wit to critique imperialism, greed, and the clash of cultures, while exploring themes of identity and power. A blend of adventure and irony, Jimmy Goggles the God offers a thought-provoking yet entertaining commentary on human folly and societal dynamics.

  New Year's Eve is usually a night of fun and wild celebrations, but for a police officer, it can be the most dangerous night of the year. 
   
   
   
  Officer Ellis Mason has worked as a beat cop on the streets of Atlanta for over eight years, and he knows what it takes to survive them. But when Lieutenant Godfrey and his infamous narcotics task force issue a dire warning about a lethal drug that's coming to the city, Mason finds himself fighting a war he's not trained for, with God pushing him beyond his limits. 
   
   
   
  Mason and his partner are both on high alert, but the moment he stops the tall, handsome drifter who wandered into town, Mason knows he doesn't belong. 
   
   
   
  Jesse Holstrom is lost and possibly in trouble, but Mason's instincts tell him that it isn’t the drug-dealing kind. Every night that Mason patrols by and sees Jesse huddled on a park bench, cold and alone, it pulls at his heart a little more. Mason doesn't know how the young man ended up homeless and lost in his neighborhood, but when Jesse ends up on God's radar, Mason knows he doesn't have long to find out. 
   
   
   
  Mason promised himself he wouldn't let a good thing slip through his fingers again . . . not this year.
