The anthology "Alternate Forms of Life" features notable stories like "Hammerschlagen," inspired by a traditional Midwest game, and "Blue Tarp," which draws from local observations. The author reflects on cultural significance, using personal experiences to shape characters, particularly Maggie, who navigates challenges through relatable actions like discarding cigarettes.
Books, games, music, and life — filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.

"قوتك تبدأ من هنا"
The goal of this blog is to create a list of super facts. Important facts that are true with very high certainty and yet surprising, misunderstood, or disputed by many. This blog aims to be challenging, educational, and fun, without it being clickbait. I determine veracity using evidence, data from reputable sources and longstanding scientific consensus. Prepare to be challenged (I am). Intentionally seek the truth not confirmation of your belief.
