The Y program
“Congratulations, mister Hobbs, we reconsidered our options and decided to offer you a part in our project. We hope you realize that usually, we do not give second chances. This is your lucky moment.” “Like for real?” that was the first thought to cross his mind.“What are you five? Say something smart, quick!” his inner dialog started turning into an inner fight, “Say something before they think you’re crazy!”“I am honored. Honestly, when I saw an incoming call from your office, I thought that I forgot something during my first interview, and you were calling to tell me to come and get it. I ...
For Tomb the Bell Tolls
About twenty minutes before midnight on Halloween, Manuel, a friend of mine, called me and suggested we spend the night at our town's oldest graveyard. Until sunrise.“You mean camping there?” I asked. “Or just wandering around.”"Don't you want to be surprised?" he asked."Not really," I said, and sighed. "Okay. I'll meet you there."I arrived first.

It’s Moonday at the Lunar Mall
It’s Monday morning and I take a stroll down to the corner news agency and buy a paper. Back home I start up the coffee machine and full mug in hand, I sit on the couch, skip the bad news on page 1 and start paging through on my way to the crossword. Wow! What’s that huge ad on page 2? “It’s Moonday at the Lunar Mall Today and every Moonday. Everything at half price!”Where on earth is the Lunar Mall? Well, if it’s Lunar, it’s not on earth. It’s got to be on the moon. Very clever! If I had a store that no one could get to, I would offer a 90 percent discount on everything. Maybe even 99 percent...
