The Life I Thought I'd Have
Would my life be better if I hadn't dropped out of high school? If I hadn't been put on SSRIs and Zyprexa as a teenager? If I had worked steadily to develop a craft--any craft--instead of drifting through infatuations, anger, distractions, and half-formed ambitions?

Alive
The shocking true story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 and the moral horror that saved sixteen lives The crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 into the Andes Mountains on October 13, 1972, and the subsequent seventy-two-day survival ordeal of the passengers would become one of the most controversial and morally complex survival stories ever recorded, forcing sixteen young men to make the unthinkable decision to consume the flesh of their dead friends and teammates in order to stay alive in one of the most hostile environments on Earth, and the psychological and ethical dimensions of their choice continue to provoke debate and reflection more than fifty years after their rescue shocked the world. The flight was carrying forty-five people including nineteen members of the Old Christians Club rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, along with their friends and family members, traveling to Chile for a tournament, and the passengers were young, healthy, optimistic people with their whole lives ahead of them, many of them students from wealthy families who had never experienced real hardship and who could not have imagined that their routine flight would turn into a nightmare of freezing temperatures, starvation, and impossible moral choices that would haunt them forever.

Daddy Patterns - Son of my Enemy
Distraught and bewildered, landowner Reginald Whitmore watched his son Maximilian burning with fever and delirious in his hospital bed in Ironwood Village. He had arrived a few moments earlier with his wife, thinking it was some kind of prank when he received the phone call, but now he was facing his youngest son in a critical, truly dangerous condition, when just a few hours earlier he had been perfectly healthy. Maximilian had returned to the Whitmore mansion just five days ago, and everything pointed to him spending a peaceful and productive summer there, trying, among other things, to repair his relationship with his father as much as he could. Reginald was diligently trying to make Maximilian's stay at Whitmore Vale as pleasant and safe as possible, as he had a secret intention to ask him to settle there permanently. The nurses removed Reginald's companions from the room, leaving only him and his wife inside. At the same time, Reginald threatened the medical staff to take good care of his son. "This is not just about my son's health. Your life is also on this bed," he said to the head doctor. "We are doing our best, sir," he replied. Maximilian, in his frenzy, had clenched the bed sheet in his fist and, with his eyes closed, was muttering incomprehensible words.
