Описание: Get some insights into how one Texas judge looks at the world, and why some Texans think the way they do. Meet his family and get a taste of old-time Winona, Texas (pop. 622). Murders, suicides, and accidents happen in the country as well as in the city. The mysteries of death on television are solved using CSI technology, on-the-spot DNA testing, and all kinds of gimmicks, all within the hour. In real life, the solutions take more time, and some mysteries will never be solved. A few stories of death linger in one's mind, while others will be buried on the lips of those in the grave. Laugh, cry, wonder, and take a closer look at yourself through these memorable stories. Death comes to us all. You may find it is time to start living-maybe even living with the dead From Chapter 17 Inquest #1236: Happy Birthday "I bought him the shotgun for his birthday. I told him not to play with it. It was not a toy," exclaims an emotional wife, crying her eyes out. "He had done this before. Like it was a game." "Don't worry," he would say, pointing the gun to his head and pulling the trigger. "It's not loaded." The last time, it was. "Through the words of this book you will see through my eyes what I have seen throughout the years."

Описание: In the second issue of Into the Ruins, we continue to explore the emerging sub-genre of deindustrial science fiction. John Michael Greer debuts a new column on the sub-genre while five new and compelling stories weave future scenarios devoid of spaceships and interstellar space travel and instead focus on a future defined by natural limits, energy and resource depletion, industrial decline, climate change, and other consequences stemming from the reckless and shortsighted exploitation of our planet-and the ways humans will adapt, survive, live, die, and thrive within such a future.These stories show a wide variety of possible futures for humanity, from a distant civilization that cycles through the same ebb and flow of peace and warfare we find littered throughout human history, to a melancholic meditation on our fast-changing world set in 2020 that feels eerily familiar to today; from a love story set in a less energy-intensive time, to a haunting encampment at the edge of dry and dusty ruins; and on again to an adventurous and amusing attempt to deliver a key new manuscript on the herbal treatment of spinal meningitis to a distant library. These stories inspire a wide range of emotions, from meditative reflection on the predicament of our times to delight at unexpected adventure-all while offering readers fascinating tales utterly different than what science fiction normally provides.
