Raising the Dead, in Spite of the Natural Order: A Cautionary Tale Chapter 14 --- "So when you say 'angry mob', exactly how angry are we talking about?" I ask, once Iga is finished explaining what she found in town. "Calling it a 'mob' might be a little premature. There's a lot of rumors and at least one official town meeting about us," she clarifies, "B...
I'm a married man, and for the first 12 years of that marriage, my wife and I had what you might call a pretty unremarkable sex life. I don't mean to denigrate it.

It had been way over twelve months since I had last slept in my own bed. I was actually looking forward to it. A huge storm in the ocean that was coming in towards us had caused me to order the shutting down of all the oil rigs pumping oil completely. It was a huge decision, but it had to be made.
