I hope that you will enjoy these 21 short stories featuring ideas about drones and the new innovations that we may see in the coming days. Each one of these little sketches of concepts to come came in to my little mind, ususally in the wee hours while sitting on a very comfy-overstuffed chair in the dark. I have these little micro flashlights (rechargeable) that fit on my fingers to shine the light on my clipboard as I frantically try to jot the idea down before I forget it and my mind returns to thinking about more important things, like what is in my refrigerator. After I jot down the idea, I go type it out on the computer and maybe flesh a little more out and then edit and re-edit and edit again. And then when I read it aloud, I find scores more errors! And I wonder why I ever wanted to become a writer! And the fights with my printer are legendary. My neighbors don't often talk to me when I am out checking the mail or whatnot, as they have, no doubt, heard me fighting and cussing at my computer through my open window. I must apologize for that,but you must understand I don't have muses or spektors, but instead, only and aging printer that only works when it wants to and I find it a semi evil entity. But, back to writing, which is a passion and a need to get the stories out of my head before I forget them. They are like puzzles to me that only I can solve because most of the time I have no idea where they are going. Anyway, I hope that you will, or have enjoyed these stories and will eagerly look for others...as I certainly will be. Thank You for your time, PAHVoir livre

After spending the summer of 1853 in the Berkshire Mountains, where he supposedly had a real life encounter with a lightning-rod salesman, Melville published “The Lightning-Rod Man." At the end of this short story, the lightning-rod salesman is exposed for the fraud that he is. However, that will not keep his successors from fanning out to the Middle West, where lightning storms abound and farmers were gullible. On another level, the story can be interpreted as a confrontation between Good and Evil. Through description and diction, the narrator is understood as a follower of God, someone who believes in The Almighty watching over him. On the other hand, the lightning-rod man is seen as a negative character, someone who only has faith in the product he's peddling.Voir livre

Will Father Brown discover who killed the well-to-do ne’er-do-well? It appears as though he was stricken with the hammer of God. Is that a thing? G.K. Chesterton is most notable for his creation of Father Brown. This unlooked for, and often unwelcome, detective is actually not a detective. But rather, an individual self-trained to think as criminals think, for he has heard so many of their confessions. He knows how their minds work, and can piece together many things that others cannot. This story is from the first collection of Father Brown Stories, The Innocence of Father Brown.Voir livre
