Click here for the other parts of The Last Day. There was no way of telling what the weather was like up above. It was warm and stuffy, so Juan Martín Estrada could only surmise it must have been a sunny day. Either that or the congregation of bodies was letting off so much … Continue reading The Last Day Part 3–Juan
Haruna hadn’t slept. What was the point? He’d sleep enough when he was dead, something he soon would be; something he and the rest of humankind soon would be. Instead of sleeping, he’d taken a cocktail of different drugs and allowed himself to bask in a psychedelic experience.

I won't lie when I say I ignore a … Continue reading Scorned (Poem) (and an introduction to a new genre on my blog)

Some time in my mid-twenties I developed a crazy obsession with astronomy. I mean I went nuts over it. Professor Brian Cox definitely had a lot to do with it. I can’t fully recall, but I think it was when Wonders of the Solar System first appeared on BBC. I saw it advertised and thought … Continue reading Paul.E.Bailey’s World – The Article of Astronomical Proportions…
