Waking up, the demon above me leaning on the ceiling, grinning his yellow teeth at me. I look him in the eyes, his black eyes injected with blood, staring at me without blinking. The body of a dead, not his body but stolen from another nobody dead, abandoned, lost, and...

Digital natives 👽

It is the year 2506; the human being ceased to exist 300 years ago, uprooted from its deterministic nature of biological evolution. The cause was unavoidable: Relentless pursuit of technological innovation, driven essentially by a cascading plaethora of human weaknesses and desires. The human always wanted to be a god,...

Running

I started preparing for a marathon about a month ago and, after two runs, one of 15k and one of 20, in two consecutive days, I injured myself. A sore tendon in my left foot. Not a big deal, but it takes time to heal. I waited two weeks, and...

The frame of reference

Have you ever had a nightmare? One of those heavy terrifying ones where someone tries to kill you, or where you just fall off a cliff, or where you are in danger of being captured and abducted during an alien invasion, and you're running and running, trying to escape. Still,...

What is a life well lived?

Strange creatures we are. Delicate egos, soft bodies, big dreams and myriad desires. We are born into this world, nurtured and loved until we reach the age of adolescence. Then it's up to each of us to move on. As we age, we shed beliefs, ideas and ideals that fail...

Thinking about dying

One day I shall die, and when that day is, I know not. Death. What is death, anyway? It does not appear in my realm of experience; I can only infer what it might be from what I see, hear, or read. The experience of death is definitive. Some people...

Games

There are two types of players. There are those who play to win and those who play to keep playing. Each game has its own set of operating principles comprised of a set of rules, instructions, and incentives. This is a general characteristic of games. Depending on the type of...

Ashes

I wrote a letter to my future self. Then, I burned it.  The ash flew in the air carried by the wind. I could still see my words on the burned paper, frail and ephemeral. A gust of wind was everything it took to make them all vanish forever. I...

The game

The fundamental difference between people is not wealth but purpose. To find purpose in life requires leaving aside most of the petty fears, worries, and desires. It is easy to say but so hard to do. What keeps most of us stuck in this mesh of social norms, financial intricacies,...

Quote
