EULOGY FOR NATURE Lately‚ many people have expressed their sympathies about what had happened to you. The painful things that you had gone through‚ the way you had lived your years in this world with us.

“Devany‚ would you please read this passage aloud to the class?” Oh no‚ not again. A crowd of amused snickers erupted from behind me. It seemed as though my teacher had forgotten to accessorize with her pitchfork and horns this morning. I looked up at her and crossly glared. Apparently‚ no number of parent-teacher conferences could deter her from her “we sometimes have to do things we do not want to” mentality. I looked down at the page and read very slowly‚ stumbling and whistling through every

One for the price of many Looking over my wife’s‚ Ida’s‚ Gustav’s and Otto’s grave made me remember when my favourite son was alive... Adolf Hitler.
