  The Luckiest Man Alive! by William Morrison - The man who won the contest for a perfect specimen to be named "Mister Earth" would be in a unique position! 
  "Do you love me Grant?" 
  "No doubt about it Baby," said Grant Hayes absently. He was tired of hearing the question, and he no longer answered it with the old fervor, but he couldn't brush it off altogether. Not yet. Not as long as he still wanted to eat. 
  "You don't act as if you do." 
  "You know how I feel about you, Gilda." His tone was careless, and he didn't even bother to look at her. He stared into the mirror and smirked at what he saw there. Then his eyes wandered. They caught a headline on the newspaper thrown across the table, and he went over to pick up the paper. He turned over the pages idly. 
  "You haven't kissed me once in the past hour." 
  Grant Hayes was no longer paying attention. He had caught a glimpse of an ad on an inner page, and he was avidly reading the details. Win Fame and Fortune! it shouted. It was almost as if the thing had been directed at him. His eyes glis­tened ashe read. No stupid routine work, no tiresome job without a future for a man of his talents. It was the kind of work that wasn't work at all-the kind he loved to do.

  Skeletal hollows transfixed on twinkling space. Empty sockets full of vibrant memories of the living. Dark boney holes, dazed and bamboozled by the expanse of the afterlife. The Galaxy of the Dead. 
  Wooden gnarled hollows deep as the midnight sky above. An untold guardian of spirit portals linked to our mysterious universe. Trees who know the true origin story of their Mother Earth.  
  There is an ancient secret scrolled across our living wood. Engravings more vital and wise than we could have ever imagined. Soon, these ancient wooden wizard guardians will return, only to fight against their own demonic forms. Set in the 21st century, three loyal brothers are drawn into the struggle to save the planet. Shocked in witnessing this Earthly awakening unfold from the beginning, they discover they too are deeply intertwined in Mother Earth’s roots and have a bloodline of secret planetary guardians imbued with strength, speed, and stamina.  
  Our world is a small speck in perspective to the entirety of the universe. Yet, Heaven and Hell see Earth as a crucial strategic battlement. They both seek possession, whether by exorcising demons into the woods or by using holy starships to cleanse the world of its pollutants. 
  As the battle between light and dark intensifies, weird galactic humanoids, modern pirates, and powerful tree folk start to join the cause, yet demons are working hard to establish their foothold, and new trees rise with dark magic. Skeleton armies begin to march, and their hollows burn with crimson light. 
  In this breakthrough punk fantasy from environmental activist and author Efren Stat, humans have cut down trees for so long that we now face the consequences when they do the same to us.

  A Christmas Tree and a Wedding

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  This short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky was first published in 1848. A man walking past a wedding is reminded of a children's New Year's Eve party he attended 5 years previously – a party that was clearly an excuse for the parents to make advantageous connections in a casual setting. As an outsider at the party, he was able to observe the guests in greater detail than most, and took particular note of the children playing by the Christmas tree, and the social hierarchy they unwittingly participated in. This recording is based on the 1918 translation by Constance Garnett.
