Solutions: The Dilemma of Patience is the last in the series of seven stories which explore one's relationship with self, others, and ultimately our Lord God. The story picks up not long after the Dilemma of Faith left off. In this last story of the series, Michael and his two friends are up to no good. Taking a number of necessary items for the host of believers held up in a secret location, they run into the most feared woman in the fiefdom of Los Angeles--Councilman Torres' personal enforcer. Having fallen into the trap with no way out, something remarkable happens. For what Michael and his friends believe will be instant death becomes a choice for life.
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Sonas, the finest kingdom out of all the kingdoms in the land, everyone was so very happy since King Kindely and his wife Queen Caroline were so very, very good.
But one day King Kindely lost his wife and very young daughter, Princess Priscilla. Upon returning to the Kingdom of Sonas, the King's finest ship carrying the Queen and the Princess was swallowed up by the biggest fish anyone had ever seen on the Salty Sea.
The King was very sad and for years cried and cried. Soon, the Salty Sea began to rise and with it many, many islands that were as big as mountains too. Also, the fish were found no more.
On the land the driest drought anyone had ever experience was taking the only fresh water left leaving the people worrying that one day it would all be gone and they would perish.
But one day the King cried his last tear and came to his senses. He believed if the fish could be found the Queen and Princess could be rescued from its belly and the Kingdom of Sonas would once again be the happiest kingdom in all the lands.
He sent out a plea asking all to help.
And the story begins when the plea reaches the hands of a son of a simple farmer. The son reads the plea and decides to help The Lonely King.
This story my children is the continuation of a A Fairy Story, also known as The Fairy Chronicles. Once again, the story I tell you is based on ancient truths from a time when the world I created was filled with joy and love and peace and happiness.
For Doctor Paul Hatford, life is coming to its ultimate conclusion. Having been a highly skilled neurosurgeon and a brilliant university professor, the time to retire has finally arrived. But something arises that delays his plans. One of the most generous yet mysterious benefactors to the university wants to meet him. When he does, the benefactor invites Jeffrey to join his private medical research team. The research, however, proves to be something quite different than what he has been led to believe. What Jeffrey discovers is not only alarming, but sinister as well. What does he discover?
For young Bill, the one time child mathematical prodigy, life is good--very, very good. After graduation from one of the finest universities in the world, he and three of his fellow prodigies are hired by a private business consortium. The consortium consists of powerful individuals that are seeking an advantage in the world of business. What they are asking Bill and his friends to do is to create a machine that will clearly give them such an advantage, and in return have been promised riches and pleasures beyond any of their imaginations.
But one day, Bill, on a rest and relaxation period, receives a message from his three friends. The message asks him for an answer to a question by which the machine they successfully constructed can be tested for reliability. The question, however, is one that Bill finds annoying. It is a question for which he knows there is no truthful answer, and worse, goes well beyond the nature of science. The question also begins to wear on his conscious, and before long, something begins to make sour the sweet, sweet life he lives.
What that question is and how Bill arrives at the answer just might be found at The Happy Haven.
A Plea and the Two Witnesses consist of a letter and two short stories that may seem rather different from one another, yet are written with the same hand. And while the letter is rooted in fiction, the two short stories are written in reality. And while each was written with the same inspiration in mind, what that inspiration is could depend on if you ever shouted out a plea or have been a witness to something that goes beyond ordinary explanation--you just might be surprised that at some point you have.
The war to end all wars brought about a change in the world. Governments and their madness that brought the Earth to the brink of total destruction, have been wiped out and corporations now rule.
In order to appease the new world citizens, the new corporate rule kept certain things of nature intact, things considered once vital but now seen as wasteful. One of these natural splendors is San Diego's Rain Forest Park. But over the years, the new corporate rule has been eliminating such leftover wonders.
The park is now the last bit of rain forest that the corporate rule allowed to exist, but different corporations want the space back.
Pressuring the Governor, a remnant of rule of the past kept alive to appease the new world citizens and who is the sole authority as to its future, a decision to its closure and transference to one of the corporations is demanded.
For Hal, manager of San Diego's Rain Forest Park, and his friend and coworker Ron, this means their world is coming to an end.
The Governor's decision over the fate of the park will come after a tour in which the representative of the Meat Council, Hal's brother Kenneth; a representative of the Board of Realtors; and the Air Commissioner, the main three corporate entities each seeking the park for their control and profit.
Before that decision is made, the Governor dies. Hal believes that he is being blamed for the death. He and Ron escape, but to where they just do not know.
What will happen to the Rain Forest Park? Where did Hal and his friend Ron end up at in their mad dash to freedom? The answers can be found at The Garden Club.
Solutions: The Dilemma of Hopelessness is the third story in a series of seven that explores one's relationship with self, others, and ultimately with our Lord God. The events in the story occur within the same time period as A Man's Dilemma. Meet Timothy, more or less a test subject at the Solutions Center. Other than his ability to sense the eyes of those watching him he has proven to be a failure for those that wish to use him for their specific purposes. But one day Charles comes seeking Timothy. He too has a plan. Besides the flu pandemic that is threatening humanity's existence, an imminent threat from space to do the same is approaching. But a call to help from a specific point in the solar system is heard, and it is Timothy who is selected as the emissary to meet those that sent the message. What will become of Timothy after the ten year journey?
Note: This story is "The Fairy Chronicles." I changed the title to "A Fairy Story" at the request of an author who is using "The Fairy Chronicles" title for her stories. I hope this has not created any confusion for any of you who had downloaded the story thinking it was a new one.
