Old crone speak to me I see your face wrinkles like water eyes like a stone Tell of the young girl who danced and loved the boys Tell me of the children and crying alone Tell me of sweeping the front porch and waiting by the phone Tell me that he left you and the dry place like a bone Old crone speak to me I know that you ar...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pain: 125 of 378
When I wake I'm still dreaming Breathing underwater Gasping Choking Never dying Every flying Over the shadowed seascape Of an ocean I never sailed The surface breaks above me A shattered mirror I can never pass beyond I wonder if the lights shine up there When I die I'm still living Breathing in the Earth Gagging Spitting Ne...

Sciences > Physics Why and how absolute zero is -273.15 Celsius: 2 of 6
Actually, absolute zero is -273.15 C not Kelvin. There is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin except perhaps a lawyers soul. I work for the government as a statistician. This can be difficult because govenment officials tend to view statistics as a sort of beehive that they can stick a stick into. They seem to think this is going t... More..
Sciences > Astronomy Aurora Borealis: The Northern Lights: 1 of 3
Why Are Northern Lights Northern? One of the most beautiful sights in nature has got to be the northern lights, The Aurora Borealis. These vague curtains of light shift, drift and flash in and out of the night sky of the far North in a display as breathtaking as it is ephemeral. Why just the North? Why on a cold winter's nig...

Entertainment > Movie Genres The worst movies ever: 20 of 58
The Ten Worst Horror Films of All Time For some reason, horror among all film genera seems to attract more and worse scripts than any other kind of film. Bad acting, plotlessness and terrible direction seem to be made up for in the world of horror by splattering brain bits and nubile teens. Not a bad trade I suppose. Let's l... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nature's seasons: 57 of 158
Do I age? Will I fail? When winter comes, it comes into my bones, and I am the crone, home alone, tending my fire. An age passes, and it seems the gray hair will not stay within its tresses. For every winter that I have seen, there has come a spring and soon a hot summer, and I am the willow woman trilling pleasantly by the ... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short Stories: Jake: 12 of 33
Cube Root "Lieutenant Garrison, your presence is requested in the electromagnetics bay." Jake Garrison's eyes shot open. It seemed strange to be sleeping in the middle of an interstellar battle, but, after three days of kilometer long capital ships hurling phased matter at each other, waiting for the other's capacitors to ov...

"Deloris' Breakfast" At seven stories, eight counting the basement, the Bank Building was by far the tallest in Summerville and the only one with an elevator. Deloris wasn't thinking about any of this as she walked down the cooly lit basement hallway. There was a small cafeteria down there and Deloris had gotten herself a re... More..
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Dark fantasy: 55 of 149
. I remember with great clarity a day early in the dry season one year, when a space was cleared in the market and a platform set up. My mother was unusually quiet and there was a buzz of tension in the air. "What is it, mother?" I asked. "It is nothing." My mother was refolding already folded blankets. "They've caught the l...

Sciences > Disease & Illness Cancer: An overview: 3 of 8
This is a very very simple overview of how cancer works. Among the many different functions in a cell is a set of instructions on how and when to reproduce. Some cells, skin and hair for example are almost always reproducing. Others, such as brain cells almost never reproduce. The rules for how and when cells reproduce is re... More..
