The avarice of the deceased persons was so keen that for a long time they had hoarded their money for the pleasure of secretly looking at it. Old Monsieur de la Bertelliere called an investment an extravagance, and thought he got better interest from the sight of his gold than from the ...
Set in the deceased’s manor in the dead of night while Annabelle and the other potential inheritors stay the evening, the story involves a great deal of thrills and comic moments as someone else in the building tries driving Annabelle insane and collecting the inheritance for themselves. The C...
Please keep reading. As we last left Lex Luthor, his decayed and broken clone body finally gave out, rendering DC’s bitterest man a paralyzed shell of the great tycoon and supervillain he once was. But Superman also had a mullet, so it’s a toss up to who had it worse. When we ...
Looking at it from a child’s perspective, I understand why it might not be a good idea to have parents that old. I understand that all too well because several years ago, mom’s employer at the time was a 50-something year old guy (now deceased), who had remarried after divorcing h...

Stopped in Barnes and Noble today, bringing with me my mocha from the adjoining Starbuck’s. Some might say this constituted a corporate morning, and point taken. But, I like the consistency of Starbuck’s drinks, and I want to do my part to keep brick and mortar bookstores alive and ...
Europe to fight in World War I. Few alarms went off indicating that this was something to be taken seriously. Due to the war, most countries involved gave it little attention because they wanted to keep their fighting resolve in high gear. The only attention it got was when it swept ...
enough.As a brief interruption several hours later, the various paperwork snafus have been cleared up. One guy starts tomorrow, one on Monday. Hooray. Now to get back on my bullshit:I’ve got a few reviews lined up for down the line – one goes live tomorrow, in fact – so keep ...
