A PHOENIX'S NEW START (first break egg) AND TAKE ON LIFE AFTER TAKE OFF. It is a time when one’s spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death. -Mark Twain

A story I wrote in the hospital w/ meds

  1. A City of Tailors
    Or
    A Parody of Swift

    Once upon somewhere there was a town only made of tailors. Now, dearly beloved, you might think that this meant they were a sect of puritans with an obsession about staying covered for their own and others benefit but this of course was not the case.

    Rather it was a town devoted purely to craftsmanship. In most towns, you will find that there is an upper, middle and lower class. This was just not true in Taylorville. This town was segregated much more differently: you had: heehumblers, hicynics, denikrates and kehoffs.

    Heehumblers would sew the worst clothes for themselves and make better clothes for
    others.

    Hykynics make clothes badly equally for themselves and others.

    Denikrators would make good clothes for themselves and threadbare ones for customers.

    The Kehoffs would make clothes of quality for themselves and others.

    The shopping habits in Taylorville have failed to yield data by our marketing department.
