    I just drove a 13 ton rig 4K miles zigzagging across the corn country.

    because people will pay you ludicrous amounts of cash to shuttle race horses across the country.

    Minneapolis Protests

    race car helmets are better than motorcycle helmets, as they're multi-impact rated.

    Mobile Suit Zaku 0085: Uprising

    Exodus That I found myself in a cockpit again was inevitable, that it was so soon was a surprise. That the cockpit belonged to a Gundam owned by Charity Alexander made me feel... it made me feel a way that I lacked the poetry of language to properly articulate. The job was simple, I was going...

    Mobile Suit Zaku 0085: Uprising

    Archer My heart felt like a toy wound too tight and let go all at once. Tachycardia, that’s what the medical training manual called it. Heartbeat of greater than one hundred per minute. It felt like I was half again as much as that. I’d never expected to have to fight, that wasn’t what we...

    Mobile Suit Zaku 0085: Uprising

    Foolish Heart I couldn't think or hear past the blood rushing in my ears or the pounding in my chest or the emptiness of my lungs. A cold fist had clenched itself tight around my heart and it felt as though everything inside me would explode and shrivel up all at once. By the time I was clear...

    Mobile Suit Zaku 0085: Uprising

    Decolonization The cockpit alarms screamed at me as I clung to the edge of consciousness. Thrusters were pushed well past the safety zones and the computer was trying to warn me that I was killing myself. It didn’t, and really couldn’t, know that I already knew and didn’t care. I could feel...

The warning tone that I’d become so familiar with chimed in my ear and I leaned hard on the thrusters to change my trajectory. This was for keeps, I had to...

    Mobile Suit Zaku 0085: Uprising

    For Auld Lang Syne I tapped the thrusters and launched myself towards the false Gundam, both of my sabers in a double slash coming in from the right. It was an obvious move, telegraphed from the moment I started moving, but that was fine. The pretender swung a tight, sharp stroke that locked...

    Once More, With Feeling “Brooke, did you finish the numbers for July? If we don't have them ready by the first we're going to get audited again. I refuse to do hand inventory again so it's going to be on you if it comes to that!” I yelled up the stairs. In the five years we'd been on Colony...

    Journey's End The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas. Everyone knew how it went, you couldn't live there without picking it up. It wasn't hard to find the spirit of poetry in the night sky, and yet those words couldn't do justice to what it was like to actually be...
