Yes, this is a satire. You're allowed to laugh. * Another fire, pasangs away... She had not been able to keep from voiding her bowels when she heard the spear cut through the air; at what seemed to her the eleventh hour he had raised his shield, and the deadly missile struck with a dull, anticlimactic sound of wood on wood. She could hear the tearing soun...
"Twenty below with the wind-chill," announced the weather reporter on the local PBS radio station.

I pulled another bottle of beer out of the icebox as I shook my head in disgust. Getting laid in a military town was almost impossible, unless you were actually in the military.

He couldn't believe it. Of all the days for him to be caught in traffic, it had to be today! He was running late as it is. Nothing had gone how he planned; everything had taken longer than it should have done.

"Honey, do you smell anything?" Hector paused to sniff the humid air. "Yeah, now that you mention it, I do. It's sort of musky but sweet at the same time. I don't think I've ever come across anything like it before. Let's look around. Maybe we've stumbled on some new species of wildflower.
