As they say... "Better late than never." "Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1 Corinthians 13:8 (NIV) |

Logging Off? Creative Non-fiction by Hazel J. HallYeah, 10 hours yesterday / I am happy though / (happier than most) / Satisfied, even / I mean, the rush is never as strong as the first time it hit / but at least something is guaranteed / it's the internet / there always *has* to be something out there / something else to know / something new I haven't heard of before / i know i'm hooked / but you have to understand / we all are tapping, liking, scrolling, disliking, saving, favoriting, quitting and coming back. |

Extras From a Movie: Ludlow Massacre, 1914, a Poem by Lenore Weiss1. The ghost girl was Little Lucy, no connection to Lucille Ball, flashed her dimples, red hair on the Capitol Mall, wore smoke-soaked clothes, no shoes for her, a black hoodie so she wouldn't catch cold, her own joke. It didn't matter. Bullets had shredded her family's tent in Ludlow, Colorado, when everything she knew had exploded. |
