Motoproto Show

Wheelie rider drives up and down the freeway and over sand dunes.

A rhythmic gymnastics participant wears a prototype motorcycle suit; a wheel on each appendage.

Drive Wherever

My silver Rabbit passes Kent on highway 17.

Later, with Lucas and Sue Heck in the backseat, we drive downhill in the rain towards the beach.

It All Ends With No

As my grandfather sorts rare proof coins onto photocopies of the Seven Dwarfs I ask him whether his stepfather was ever impressed with my grandmother's knack for fixing television aerials.

He replied, "no."

Machine-gun Whisperer

Sitting in the left-most wrought-iron patio chair of three in a row in an outdoor cafe in Las Vegas, I heard machine-gun fire from an underground bunker three thousand five hundred miles away.

Life Changing Visions

Withstanding an electric shock with increasing voltage, I awoke with a start with the feeling of being blasted with freezing wind and a voice succinctly shouting, "Create!"

Deepwater Denizens

Jakob had a swimming lesson today. I saw him dive deep into the pool.

He became tangled in a sinewy spider web halfway to the bottom and thrashed wildly in the water. Some giant beetles were similarly ensnared - dead victims of dinners gone by - but a giant dragonfly nymph wriggled fiercely, struggling to free itself.

The movement of the dragonfly nymph frightened Jakob and he started to wail, his terrified cries piercing through the water to my ears.
