Admiring Tourist.
I am just an admiring tourist
Walking the streets to a world in which I don’t belong
Window shopping for a change I want to see
Trying to speak a language unfamiliar to my tongue
I have known this landscape for far too long
Does anyone see me?
A place I used to call home
Has turned against me
Dark waves of admiration
Of greener pastures on the other side
Create blindness
Or fear that’s deep inside
Am I a permanent resident?
Or is it all in my mind?

Stories of The Unbreakable Spirit
She was a survivalist, that’s all she has known. This knife, this bag and a dysfunctional family that was all but ready to be rid of her. She didn’t mind though. When the time came, she enjoyed not being a part of the family. She never felt like she really belonged there anyway. The black sheep of the foul fortuned family. What she didn’t know or was ready for, was that the world she use to look up too in wonderment, would start to crumble in her mid-life. She watched the simplicity of the world, the creation of technology, the movements that changed the calloused society she was raised in, and finally she watched the downfall. The destruction of the planet. The day, mother nature claimed back with force, all areas we called home.
We all should have seen it coming really. The red flags were there for years. The extreme weather, the cities sinking, over consumption, the encumbered landfills, the lack of water management, the panic. It was all there, we just felt more comfortable being distracted.
While she pondered all these thoughts she felt a pain lodge in the back of her throat. The guilt. The self-shame. She was a survivalist after all. The weight of the darkness almost grabbed her perception, as the weight of the blade impelled her dinner.
Association of Helpful People
"Association of Helpful People"
One day Stan opened a door and saw a bald man in a long quilted black coat who was standing on the threshold. The man introduced himself as a representative of the Association of Useful People. Stan heard about them, about an organization that introduces people to the norms and laws of modern society...

- I am authorized to be assigned to you for a period of one month, as a leading specialist in my field. The man paused abruptly, tilting his head to the side.
There were more and more questions, and Stan flared up:
- By whom are you authorized? What industry?
- Hot temper is good, it will play an excellent role in political conflicts, but this is not about that now, - the friendly intonation has not changed despite the cries of Stan, the specialist continued, - in the modern world it is very dangerous to be detached, lead a reclusive life, ignore the information life. You have completely dropped out of society, and I am here to help you. Three years ago, Helpful People units were created in every city for people like you who are not in the digital world or who do not have the skills to live in it. Such as you are not able to know the joy of social contacts through a virtual network and lose friends right and left. How long ago have you been invited to parties? Or take a walk?
Stan bit his lip.

- And what do you offer me?
- I am your monthly life consultant. You have to do everything I say, and I return your friends, fans and fame.
