Sacred Cows
By Roy Griffis
I had wandered far into southern Mexico until the village of San Idro rose out of a hovering haze. A sleepy town in the hilly uplands of Oaxaca that the tourists never marked on their guidebooks and the drug cartels wouldn’t have bothered over, not even for free samples from the local talent.

Who Murdered the Dinosaurs?
The death of the dinosaurs was a huge change that benefited many different creatures. So in a way, nearly everyone had a reason to want them dead.

Chrysalis

Doctor Ahmad Jones, from concussed head to throbbing ankle, was down for the count. He bled from the gash on his cheek where Coffman’s knuckles had connected. He had twisted his ankle, and banged his elbow against the wall too, whacking the humerus bone and the cluster of nerve ends. He glared at Coffman, who […]
