Societal Satire in Shorts

        This collection of curious anecdotes is intended to stimulate thought about the world we live in, the products we use, and the way we interact with each other.  These tales combine elements of fact and fiction, and generally represent the random reflections of the author, who is intrigued by observations from daily life.  You may notice some common themes like first-person narrative perspective, and the use of time, a valuable commodity we humans cannot alter or create, to reinforce the plot flow.  Enjoy, and keep your eyes open out there.
