About me - Peggy Molloy

I write because I think it is important to share our personal truth. I went to dancing school to take ballet, tap and jazz dance several times a week. My love of dance sheltered me from the more typical teenage blues and I was distracted with classical music,

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Drug addiction: 2 of 46

I met Kurt at a telemarketing job. He had a booming authoritative voice resplendent of George C. Scott playing the part of Patton. We liked one another and I asked him him he were planning on voting. He answered with a question, "Is Jesus on the ballot?" I said no and he explained that he was not interested then. He was a we...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Is there life after being cheated on: 1 of 19

Infidelity murders marriage. Sure there's life, and abundant life afterwards...after the divorce court fees, the heartbreak of the children, the damage and hurt that can take years to heal, the inability to trust a partner again,...sure, go ahead, cheat! It will be trivialized on television and in the movies, and your head c...
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Do we all have satan inside of us: 1 of 18

Satan comes and goes, like an unwanted guest. Always waiting at the door to sneak back into our brains, our minds, our souls. Drugs, be it alcohol or street drugs, allow Satan entrance and unfortunately there is a ratio of energy required between how deeply embedded he had become into ourselves with how difficult it will be ...
Entertainment > Entertainment (Other) Which genre is the most useful: Radio or television?: 2 of 29

Radio was once referred to as The Theatre of the Mind". I think it did a great deal to fuel the imagination of an entire generation, the greatest generation, now dead and dying. As a child I listened to symphonies, stories, news, advertising, shows created to be thought provoking and/or educational. Television is one dimensi...
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife Is Hell a real place or a metaphor to deter evil-doers?: 7 of 94

Look around you, are we not in hell now? Read the news! Check out the statistics on violence towards women and children? How about spending a quiet afternoon in Baghdad? No metaphor will deter anyone who is determined to do evil. A truly evil person won't care about a story. Check out the paintings of the Black Plague in Eur...
Education > Teachers & Administrators How schools take away children's free speech: 1 of 12

The assumption made in the title is that all "schools" are the same. There is a vast difference in attitude among the private or government schools. The private school has greater room for tolerance and exception, whereas the government (public) school's main feature is controlling the masses. If one defines freedom as being...
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Facing death: 2 of 23

She picked up the telephone, it was late for her to be accepting a phone call. It was her friend Alice, and she was screaming. Her son who was 23 years old had been in a car collision and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Alice was hysterical as this boy was the light and hope of her life. Two years ago her hus...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Assessing Rudy Giuliani's chances for the 2008 Republican primaries: 1 of 11

I find Rudy Giuliani's dependency on his wife a drawback. Newly remarried, few of us are foolish enough to make our new spouse our managers as he has. Did she really think it would be a hop-skip-jump to being First Lady? How vain! I don't like how he stops in the middle of speeches to get his "calls", gee, who could it be? I...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The concept of time: 4 of 42

As a choreographer, I use time as a punch-card, tracking time, listening to beats and rhythm, giving me a framework, a wire-frame from which to plug in my creative thoughts about using space. As a composer, the metronome ticks away at various levels of speed, bundling time into tidy packages for the construction of sound. As...
