It was not quite a mile from the middle school to his house but, to a thirteen-year-old boy who wasn't very athletic, it seemed much further. His mom usually picked him up but she couldn't this afternoon because his little sister had a doctor's appointment. He hoped they wouldn't be there when he finally got home. He liked having the house all to himself—unless it was dark outside. That gave him

There are no happy endings in hell.

The papers call it "The Suicide Virus." The teenagers of Gethsemane, Ohio, are killing themselves at an alarming rate.
Steven Wrigley is trying to survive his senior year of high school, still reeling from the death of his mother and adjusting to life with his father. While sleeping, Steven writes names in a notebook-- the names of dead teenagers before he can possibly know they're dead. These messages fill him with dread, clues to some mystery he must try to u

Until my massive 6000 page travel epic is posted I would like to ask you this: Why are we spending trillions of dollars to fight terror in other countries when the most offensive terrorist is right here in our midst?

That's right. It's the "Grand" Canyon. Every year the "Grand" Canyon is responsible for over 3,000 civilian deaths. It's time to fill it in. We have a lot of trash and a really big hole in the ground. I can't think of a more clear cut case of symbiosis. Not only do people fall in, it
