Short Stories
* Shareware or Freeware from Hell and Heaven
” With the Devil and God describing the relative merits of their dominions and how to pay for their downloaded product by either telepathing the user's good - in the case of heaven - and bad - in the case of hell - intentions. Ever stronger Human need for things that run in/on their computers and cause them to lose time, setting everything up and leading to dropping of normal concerns and relations. The family gives way to virtual family software. Siblings and spouses configured at will, untrammeled by the quaint bounds of the social contract. Differences settled with a new teleology that said might is right and if you don't believe it it's knuckle sandwich. May the best programmer win.
* Transfer from the Rich and Wire to the poor
” Once a week a rich person's bank account is emptied and its contents poured over certificate-confirmed poor people. Poured over as in inundated.
* Hate Comes of Age
” All the hate projects imaginable accomplished : H bomb on India to rid us of all those groveling poor, eliminate all the Jews wherever they may be, even those about to convert one way or the other, let only the smart survive. These should be determined by smart bombs Sounds a bit like Die Gelehrten Republik/Arno Schmidt without the same genealogy.
* Someone witnesses a death
” A little child is hit by a car, tries to help. Accompanies the child to the hospital and from that moment on is drawn to despair and sickness by an event that should not have affected them so vitally, or to such an extent.
* A guy everyone grew up with
” And everyone remembers well because he had his guitar with him at all times and even brought it to school to play between classes and as everyone assumes that he did nothing other than play his guitar that some day he would play it well but strangely enough he never did, becoming a satisfactory accountant and happy family man. What were you thinking about when strumming your guitar?
* Raising boys and girls
” Why you have to look in your daughter's drawer dresser, never having believed her and read her diaries. They are inveterate liars (liers with the opposite sex), it is just what many mothers have said, it must be the truth, you have to maintain this distance from the twisted fruit of your entrails. There can never be a deeper level of trust because the person is not trustworthy.
* Part of a continuum.
” Boy is led to believe that this life contains every shade of human possibility so that success and failure, any one of their intermediary states, all exist and are logically independent of the effort dispensed to get the postulant to their goal. He thinks he has figured out where he belongs in the continuum of failure and success and cannot make a greater effort in either direction to either fail mightily or succeed uniquely. The hypotenuse does not touch, the circumference of the circle or any other piece of normally transmissible information is suddenly beyond the ken of knowledge. His knowledge.
