PROF ISAAC GALISTEIN
Microfiction: Sisters should never have
children, they thought. No matter how
fashionable aunties are, nephews
always think of them as retro.
INNOCENCE
Don’t we hate what the west is doing to the planet. We’d all be green
if we could. The reality is WE could never be green enough. It is the
system that must be green – in other words, commerce and industry.
Big Biz will play at green, but is not committed to it. Does this make us
innocent? Sadly, no. Big Biz only succeeds because we buy into it. If
we really said ‘no,’ things would change very quickly.
BRIT NEWS: Some 6 million Brits
have been hit by tax errors. They used
to say that computerisation would make things
easier. It seems to me there are more errors nowadays
than ever before. Is total computerisation in admin a good idea?
SCI NEWS: Stephen Hawking has finally discounted God. Big Bang was
inevitable due to the law of gravity through spontaneous creation. But
is this theory replacing God, or becoming God?
MEDIA NEWS: So an insignificant Pastor has placed his Koran
burning on hold. I should think so. I’m all for free speech,
which includes telling him what a vile idiot he is. But
a question: why do we know about it?

PASSING BY
A woman’s scream in the night,
Two drunks shout and have a fight,
Another purse snatched by the lout,
Painted girls – sex they tout,
It goes on no matter how we try,
All because we just pass by
FLASH 55 – THE ROAD
Fiction: My partner and I had decided upon a couple of days of
freedom. Maybe we’d watched too many road movies, but off we went.
We drove; partied; did things we shouldn’t; vandalism; burglary. Then
back to work, hoping we’d get away with it. It was a stroke of luck we
were put on the case.
REDWOOD
Wolves and thieves made you enter with dread,
So much violence turned the green wood red,
They’d had enough by the time they advanced,
Time, it was, for society to be enhanced,
So they looked on the past with a terrible frown,
And they went and chopped all the red woods down
