Satan Nicholas
Saint Nicholas' sinister colleague, whose task is to deliver appropriate gifts to the less-than-good girls and boys on Christmas eve.
He awakened to the sound of a Harley landing on the roof - right on time - and man, had he prepared his list in hopes of a visit from Satan Nicholas. In an hour he'd run downstairs and find a Chucky doll, gift certificates to Tattoos-R-Us, the Vape store, and Murder-and-Mayhem Video Games. It pays to be bad, he mused. And next year he'd be worse.

twenty-twenty-phorbia
Fear of the coming year, as twenty-twenty-three draws to a close and 2024 presents potential for catastrophic damage, with A.I. and a certain former president threatening to overturn the world as we have known it.
He had lived through a great deal, yet the prospect of 2024 was inducing twenty-twenty-phorbia, the deep-seated fear of the year ahead.

transcendent beauty
An exceedingly rare quality, possessed by very few women, illuminated from within. Most of the world's celebrated beauties do not have it and cannot acquire it, as shown by their age-driven pursuit of cosmetic surgery, and the tragically self-erasing results. For a woman so blessed, it is simply a gift, immune to the passage of time.
She appeared to be ageless, radiant with transcendent beauty. Wherever they found themselves, she was the most beautiful woman in the room, not by degree but entirely in a class of her own. Strangers, both men and women, stared, sometimes approaching to comment. It was more than her exquisite proportions and facial symmetry. Paired with those things, it came from an inner quality of goodness. The man beside her was sometimes told that he was transcendentally lucky, which he knew to be true.

More Guns Than People
In the United States, 332 million people and an even greater number of firearms openly compete . On a daily basis, the firearms succeed in eliminating some of the human population. Humans attempting to reduce the number of firearms always fail.

Birkenstockbroker
Now retired to Napa, surveying his private-label vineyard from the pool-deck of his 20,000 square-foot 'villa', he strums his Martin - yes, it's the one on the cover of 'unplugged' - purchased for six figures from the Christies Clapton auction, a true Birkenstockbroker, a 60s radical who simply took a brief detour.
