The guinea pig was just a damn guinea pig and I petted it ...

The old man scratched his head. On the one hand he wanted every creature's story to be told and respected. On the other hand he knew all stories were partial and that real truth could never be told.

Expanding on the fergusonian universe, often explored in his fiction titles, Jon Ferguson shares an old man's ponderings on su...

TO SAY THAT Professor Lenny Fuller has an irreverent attitude to dusty, unimaginative, uninspiring academia is an understatement. But he carries on handing out his A+ grades to new tranches of anthropology students, one eye set on his students' horizons and the other on his imminent retirement. Meanwhile the university hierarchy has its eyes set on him. So, when he swaps his staid corduroys for hip hop polyester and starts lecturing in explici...

I didn't see my father again until the morgue yesterday. He looked all right, a little pinker and puffier than usual. Then they closed the lid." For Adam Lamb, this loss is definitely not an existentialist experience. Instead, the funeral guests - who slowly drift in to a service where the pastor's only role is to keep his mouth shut and let the music play - open the lid on his dad's own philosophy. In a tender moment, with the friends, ex-lov...

Philip Papp cuts a rather sad version of Michelangelo's 'David', but that doesn't seem to matter post-deluge. He still manages to attract a small crowd of spectators, most days, from his first-floor window. After the flood, Betty Swain's old, arthritic fingers are free to work their magic with impunity and (bless her heart) for no fixed fee. Bereft, bemused widowers are happy to pay her a fair rate. Ask Bill the policeman. Who sent the mysteri...

NOT A WORD IN 2004 ran the (fictional) San Fransisco Chronicle's headline. By his own public admission, for 18 months Ted Foster "rarely rotated his noggin left or right because there was nothing it wanted to look at". But what had put him into this catatonic stupor? Seems we could be about to find out... "On Larry King Live, " he writes in chapter one, "I only had about forty-five minutes and he kept changing the subject to keep his ratings...

What If You Could Change the World without Changing Your Daily Routine? When you've been transformed by God's love, you can't help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom.
