I touch her and she walks away

I touch her and she walks away, I lay beside her and she leaves my bed, I’m beginning to think there’s something wrong, Something wrong inside my head. I want those things I cannot have, I want those things only we can share, I’m beginning to think there’s something wrong,…

And I want to fall

I am a sad song. I am darkness. I am age. I stand at the cusp of the void, waiting. No expectations. No regrets. Only transition. I am a sad song. I have no release. The words, the lyrics, bind me and hold me. I cannot be free of them….

I haven’t forgotten about you

Yes, I know that it’s been a long time since I’ve posted an article, but I’ve been busy. Really. There are so many cat videos.  And important political memes.  And life. But don’t worry. I’ll be back. Soon. Because I miss you. I promise. ©Copyright by Kevin Fraleigh 2018

Thirty-nine times around the sun, together, so far

The working office

If you saw my office, you might mistake it for a junky spare room.  The only clue that there is anything special about it is an oversized desk and the computer—and books, lots of books.  With only a single chair at the desk, it does not invite visitors. When I…

Navigating Hyperspace

Yes, I’m still working my way through Michio Kaku’s Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension .  Full disclosure requires me to tell you that while I can easily grasp the higher concepts and especially appreciate the human aspects of the minds that generate them, the…

Hyperspace and the Snows of Charleston

Okay, so I’ve been reading Michio Kaku’s Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension and it got me to thinking about applications of the fifth dimension to my fiction.  I did touch on the idea of parallel universes in Any Tomorrow, but I thought…

The Sin of Complicity — FDR, Auschwitz, and the Lilliput Troupe

The world is so much clearer in hindsight.  That’s why historians practice what’s called the “fifty-year rule”.  The rule is a tacit acknowledgment that it is virtually impossible to judge history objectively until the consequences of historical events have played out and been realized.  The downside to this however, is…
