Millions of years of evolution had been compressed into laboratory test tube months. The aerial carnivore ...

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had tried to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - For the rare and ...

In fact hindsight is of course a wonderful thing, and this is never truer than when considering the major conflicts of the 20th Century and the Second World War in particular....

The Gods were angry. All attempts to control the dominant species of the planet had failed. Disease, Famine, Pestilence and Warfare had all been unsuccessful. THEY NEEDED TO BE CULLED.

In truth, “fortune” is probably over-exaggerating; enough money to feed and clothe the two of them and put a decent roof over their heads was all this young mother asked, but it was proving to be incredibly difficult.
