&lt;p&gt;A remarkable change had occurred during the past millennium; Perhaps more sinister than remarkable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soon after the turn of the 21st Century, a worldwide nuclear conflict broke out involving all the major powers. The force of the nuclear explosions had destroyed countless humans and animals alike. They also caused some inexplicable peculiarity to the human metabolism and chromosomes. These defects created much smaller and feeble males, and yet did not affect the female. They were born perfectly normal and developed into startling creatures with no defects whatsoever - even the common disabilities prevalent in the previous millenniums. So there are two outstanding results caused by the nuclear fall-outs; and thirdly, all those countries responsible were, quite simply, raised by their own petard. It did, however, cease all hostilities. No longer could the braying menfolk rattle sabres or flex their muscles, nor indeed, be any further threat to worldwide peace. After all, who could possibly take notice of heads of state ranting and raging at only six to twelve inches high?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Dark Period of History</title><link>/stories/2019/02/24/a-dark-period-of-history/</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2019/02/24/a-dark-period-of-history/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Given to circumstances the beast is found in all of us - male and female alike - Robespiere&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I shall not delve into the whys and wherefores of that radical change in French history or the political dogma as many may know the cause and outcome. Instead, I would like to write about the unmentionable occurrences that transpired as a result of that historical event&amp;hellip;. One can compare such horrors of human destruction to humans past and present, viz: The Holocausts such as the Soviet pogrom, the Cambodian Killing Fields and the Final Solution inflicted on the Jews and other &amp;lsquo;undesirables&amp;rsquo; opposed to the Nazi Regime, and the rather lesser widespread slaughter of certain minorities for political, religious and lebensraum purposes, and all the horrors they entailed&amp;hellip; So how can we deplore cannibalism - especially as such acts are at times virtually necessary?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Amanda's Story</title><link>/stories/2019/01/13/amandas-story/</link><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2019/01/13/amandas-story/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;For a million or so years since man evolved from either fish in the sea or mere microbes from the earth or, indeed, from some faraway planet, the female has, even today, been the lesser/weaker of the human species; but came the time when that “weaker” and long-down-trodden species grew stronger, not so much physically but mentally, even in those countries that steadfastly kept their womenfolk under the thumb and foot.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Three Choices</title><link>/stories/2018/12/15/three-choices/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/12/15/three-choices/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Bill refuses to comply and receive an I.D.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three Choices&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;em&gt;A second sequel to the ID Registration Squad&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Never had William (we’ll call him Bill) been confronted by such a lovely, sexy-looking young woman in his life. He’d seen such beauties portrayed on television, films, in magazines and the computer, but having seen Beyonce once – a member of the ID Security squad &amp;mdash;seeing her in his house was most disturbing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Realism</title><link>/stories/2018/11/20/realism/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/11/20/realism/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This narrative is in first person singular and will change to third person towards the end.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How many people, male or female, have certain fantasies which they are obsessed with&amp;hellip; dream of daily and nightly? Innumerably, no doubt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have had a particular fantasy since the age of about 7 or 8, and it involved cannibals; having seen in an old book that had drawn pictures of naked natives. The nakedness had a fascination for me, imagining that I was a white hunter in darkest Africa and had been captured by a savage tribe, and seeing them dance around me; but that’s as far as it went. It was many years later that my fantasies developed &amp;hellip; from dominated by females (sexually as well as brutally) and began writing down my fantasies for a magazine and later, for various sites. All my stories were well received and sort after in several countries.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
