Back in the day, a local college employed me as an adjunct faculty
member. And Ziff-Davis (ZD) and other publishers paid me to write. 
    ZD is a 1938 Gernsback associate. At times if felt like Gernsback's 
geist squeezed me harder than a nigh empty tube of toothpaste to force
words out as cheaply as possible.

Casper College had a murder in 2012. The victims lived a couple of
blocks away. One victim passed on the sidewalk outside her house.
    This same sidewalk's frequently traversed by me during dark Winter
dog walks, while audio-books play through my earbuds. Flocks of demons
feasted on the carnage long afterward. Their lingering presence is
still felt by me to this very day during dark Winter dog walks.
