Author has written 26 stories for General, General, Family, War, Love, School, Haiku, and Romance. "Ideas are more dangerous than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?" -Stalin I present to you here a small fraction of the scrawlings that gather dust on my desk or wait, unfinished, in one of many notebooks. This writing is a way to preserve ideas in an era when it has become impossible and impractical to tell stories around a campfire or to talk of anything but reality with friends and family. I'm a seventeen-year-old female American Northeasterner. A few of my favorite things are chemistry, classic literature, Russian history, and international politics. Constructive criticism is always welcome and reviews are greatly appreciated even if a story has been posted for a year or more. Favorite Authors: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, George Orwell, Fyodor Dostoevsky, James White. Representative Work, Fiction: "Moscow Blaze" and "These Hallowed Halls" "Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin." -John von Neumann *** I'm going to be gone for awhile. | |||||
