Whispered Violence

A voice whispers in my ear. It is the droning of a fly, The cry of a wailing baby on a plane as you try to sleep, The inane natterings of someone Who has trapped you in a conversation at a bar.

I feel my blood pressure rising. I feel venom coat my tongue And practice using words as weapons.

I let go. I walk away, Leave the voice behind, And go about my day.

Paradise Gardens is a political dystopia, called like Huxley but for now. Begun in the 1980s finished in a final New Edition in 2017 (Pelekinesis). I was working a clerical job on a Wall Street paper, when I had visions of downtown NYC in 2250 and the purged world of 3001. The story opens at the desk of Janet McCarthy, claims adjustor at Rudimental Life Company, part of the United Business Estates (U.B.E.) Left behind are the Unconnected, people outside corporate protection. Capitalism has devolved into the corporate feudalism of the U.B.E., where employees are conceived as Superior or Average to fit the needs of business. In 2250, after the Federal government has dissolved amid ecological breakdown, a real estate visionary, with a PR maven, sell corporate business on “Eden underground,” Paradise Gardens.

Though I wrote the book, because I couldn’t get the characters and scenes out of my mind (even dreamed sequences), I thought it was therapeutic, a cautionary tale.  I had no idea any of it would come to pass. I prayed it was a fixation of my underemployed imagination. Yet here we are, almost in 2023, dealing with the described killer flus which decimate the population. As society breaks down in PG, the federal government is garrisoned under the capital against the social chaos. Now all of this may sound Matrix-like, another ho-hum Netflix dystopia but these fragments have the reality of the world we know.  

I am making the audiobook available with the idea that if enough people get what course we seem on, it may be possible to change paths to a different future.

I wanna start either The Untamed or Word of Honor, but they are 50 and 36 45 minute episodes, respectively, and I just don't know if I have it in me to watch that many episodes of one show. I just don't know if I have it in me anymore. That's just so many minutes.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a drarry au fic that's sort of inspired by the selection by Kiera Cass. I think Harry is part of a royal family and he's looking for suitors and ofc Draco is one of them. I think other characters like Blaise, Cormac, Dean, Micheal Corner might make appearances as suitors as well. And I think maybe ron is like a friend of the royal family or like an advisor or something?

I'm hoping you can help me find this fic or that someone might know what I'm talking about lol :)

Thank you for everything you do for the Fandom!

We believe you are looking for The King and his queen and The King and his family by Synni123, which have been deleted. Sorry!

This Friday’s Featured Friend is lps #2250! A black and white lovebug with purple eyes. They came in the Flowers ‘n Fashion set with the B32 Blythe doll as part of the Black and White Collection. The set was a Target exclusive!

Thoughts: A classical young lady! I think she’d be in love with the aesthetics of the 1950’s. Loves dresses but doesn’t mind donning a snazzy suit when the occasion calls for it! Definitely owns a collection of vinyl records, and has an *~*aesthetic*~* record player for them! Still stans Doris Day. Her biggest comfort food is definitely brownies.
