That's what they try to teach you in prison, and fair enough, I might even have left there one day determined to go straight except, suddenly, I was on an island in the China Sea, gazing at a beautiful girl in a yellow Bikini. So maybe it had been worth it after all. But careful now! You had to avoid thinking things like that because they'd a nasty habit of dissolving back into reality and you'd wake up right back in that stinking grey cell: five years of your life already erased, with another two to go, and all because you'd never been able to resist the puzzle of a pretty motor car! fantasy mystery romance short story speculative http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.png http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.pdf http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.epub http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.mobi The Man Who Talked to Machines Michael Graeme http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2783 en 2001 A short story from web-author Michael Graeme (a half hour read): "You have to talk to them, counsel them, mesmerise them into stillness before you set foot anywhere near them.

She was just a computer program, a crude simulation - at best a never ending animated cartoon with only one character and no story line. But she was "something",... a hobby I suppose you might say. Other young men had hobbies, equally obscure, though perhaps more socially inclusive. They collected camera gear, they went fishing, raced cars or drank themselves stupid. Me? I coded in my bedroom. Same thing? Well, not quite.

Schrag, Ph.D. http://feedbooks.com/userbook/624 en 2008 String theory [ST] is a relatively recent development in theoretical physics that reveals the fundamental, irreducible building block of the universe to be an inconceivably tiny vibrating string. Everything is built of these strings. Hence, ST posits a universe made of music. This work examines the implications of ST in a landscape seen as remote from physics, the human heart. As such it is an exploration of ST in the harmonic nature of life, existence, love, God and the universe. healing Zen Spirituality theoretical physics string theory metaphysics nature of the universe super string theory brane theory peace of mind universe theory of everything harmony meaning http://feedbooks.com/userbook/624.png http://feedbooks.com/userbook/624.pdf http://feedbooks.com/userbook/624.epub http://feedbooks.com/userbook/624.mobi How To Disappear Completely David Bowick http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3115 en 2009 www.bowick.net/books/ Sitting at the top of a Ferris wheel overlooking the Boston skyline, Josh’s life takes an unexpected turn, and things will never be the same.
