-_- i FORGOT to mention, the story's called "Alien Stones", because it's a reference tooooo... that ancient pre-abacus counting method of putting small stones on a board. And uh... i don't remember why they were talking about that in the story though ~_~ sry.

something I forgot was that the island originally thought Oldbro would kill Youngbro-- "You, who are so easily hated, so different from what it is thought a boy should be." Was he originally introduced to the island *just* to be killed, when Oldbro wouldn't kill Girl when he was alone with her?

When Youngbro realized he had to be a BETA, Oldbro stopped attacking him and taught him to survive. So was the island's plan thwarted? What really made him kill Girl, after the three of them were able to form their own little society? The island even says "This is the death *I* chose for her".

It's interesting that he was only allowed to leave after killing her. At one point the girl says "sometimes he wants to kill me", so maybe he really couldn't be trusted to return to society until he knew from experience that he didn't enjoy killing. And the island would rather her be killed than some random person in the future, whose life might have actually mattered, unlike hers. Very sad.

That's got to be it, right? Why else introduce Youngbro, believing he'd be killed, when he wasn't killing Girl? The island wanted him to kill someone. And when Youngbro demonstrated he could function in Le Society better than Girl, it refocused on having her killed after all.

Protestants act like Catholics don't have relationships with Jesus when Catholics literally lived in deserts alone just so they wouldn't have another soul to speak to except God

As for porn, LA's in flames. I've prayed for the people there per the Knight's request. Nonetheless, God's opinion on this number one exporter of porn's been made clear. I'm sure if it weren't for His mercy, we'd be gone. And, America loses wars not for lack of strength. We lose because God's against us.

How can a skeleton look like an old Asian man? He's a skeleton. Hmm, I'll try. "Withered skeleton, missing a rib, holds a cane, wearing traditional east Asian garments, and a fedora." The fedora crucial because only atheists, try hards, and old people wear them.

These humble brags have me feeling like Jason on the lake ๐ญ lol. In all seriousness though, can't help that the humor masks a lot of pain. It sucks to think about, but I think Jacob was onto something when he was kind of okay with his daughter getting kidnapped to be the bride of some guy. If I were a Dad and this happened to me, at least I'd get an alliance out of it and guy who'll care for her the rest her life.

Cont. People in this country, they do everything "right," this being consenting to fornications, but nothing good comes of it. Like, Jacob would have preferred his kid to be kidnapped by a good man than have her consent herself in sin to a bad one. Like, would you want your kid to be kidnapped by then married to a prince or living in love with a deadbeat who'll toss her aside?

Cont. Darn, I have to apologize. This got too real. Ask, this was a good post. Young men in the Taliban are out beating world superpowers and guarding the chastity of their wives. Meanwhile, us men in civilization are like, what, playing Magic, and teaching ourselves how to lead girls on? God help us all.

I must say DidntAsk, reading your blog entries is like reading up on someone's thoughts throught the day at exact intervals of 2 hours and 43 minutes; sometimes they're coherent and sometimes they're not. They're also always interesing to read
Also where do you find these stories?!?!?
thank you very much lol & they're from "The Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories and Other Stories" Gene Wolfe is one of muh favorite authors!
