Fun? Maybe not so much! In this sci-fi/fantasy short story, hapless home-owner Ed Rumsfeld is attacked by mutant man-eating insects. Thus begins a FREE series that will chronicle an increasingly unstable world in which nasty natural, technological and mythical forces are unleashed in response to climate change and other human induced problems.Fun? Maybe not so much! In this initial short story of a planned FREE fantasy/sci-fi series, hapless Virginia home-owner Ed Rumsfeld is attacked in his own front-yard by mutant man-eating insects. Thus begins a series of short stories and/or novellas that following completion will also then be merged into an epic novel that chronicles an increasingly unstable world in which nasty natural, technological and mythical forces are unleashed by climate change and other human induced problems. So what's 'fun' about global warming/climate change? If you’re a glass-is-half-full kind of person maybe global warming and other human-induced disasters aren’t really ALL bad, maybe they’re also opportunities: chances for mankind to further make a mess of things surely, but also opportunities for adventure, surprise, and (Maybe, maybe not!) triumph! Will humans survive? At this point even the author doesn't know; follow this gradually emerging series to find out!

The world is young, and a single man struggles to cross a desert wasteland. He has no other option, since he’s been exiled from his homeland. His father once told him that dangerous people lived in a fair, green land across the desert. He hopes his strength, cunning and the mark he carries upon his head are enough to keep him alive. And perhaps his dreams of ruling will no longer just be dreams...The world is young, and a single man struggles across a desert wasteland. He’s been walking almost fifty days, and his food and water are gone. But he sees mountains in the distant east, and if he can hold on long enough to get there, he just might make it out of this alive. He has no options; he’s been exiled from his land and now he’s a wanderer, so there’s no going home. He’s never seen anyone outside of his family, but his father once told him that other people lived in a fair, green land across the desert. His father had said they were dangerous, but only to each other; not to a member of his family. He would have to hope that his father was right, and his cunning and the mark he carried upon his head were enough to keep him alive.Somehow he is able to make it through the desert, and he stumbles upon the Others almost immediately. His father was right; he has nothing to fear from them. His parents had always called their family the firstborn, the children of God, and he immediately realizes that this is another race, a race that cannot compare to his in strength or intelligence. They are small and weak, clothed in filthy skins and speaking a barely intelligible language. While he feels nothing but disdain for them, he immediately realizes his dreams of ruling are no longer just dreams.As time passes he is able to bring all the tribes under his rule as he teaches them his language and ways, and imparts the knowledge and inventions that had allowed his family to thrive. Over the course of time his contempt fades as he comes to realize that though they are not his match in size, strength, or longevity of life, they still possess a spirit, intelligence and soul equal to his. Through the guidance of a wise woman, one he is proud to join with as his wife, after years of condescension his heart is opened and he can see that the others are his equal in the eyes of God. In spite of the fact that he was prideful and arrogant, the kingdom he has built with a heart focused only on his own selfish needs is still a good one. There are many challenges, both internally and externally, to his new-found wisdom, but if he can stay true to his ideals, he, his wife and their children just might be able to make a real difference in this young world.

It all starts with an old friend, Gregers, returning home after a long journey. His arrival leads to unprecedented turmoil as the main character, Hjalmar, has to decide what to make of his life. This is not easy as things have changed a lot in the north since the age of Ibsen... In fact, everything has changed.AbstractIbsen’s classic Wild Duck is the epitome of Scandinavian literature with a feministic point of view. In fact, if we look at Ibsen’s other works, like a Doll’s House we see things from a woman’s perspective, in other words we only get one side of the story. This is typical of Norwegian literature.The current work attempts to remedy this, or better put give insight into the possible feelings of a man, with all the positive and negative aspects. In Wild Duck, Hjalmar Ekdal plays the role of a dull and rather repugnant character, who can only think of selfish goals and comfort. According to society he is more or less a male chauvinist, a bad guy for rebelling against and being bothered by things that should simply be accepted or not questioned at all.Wild Duck revisited looks at the situation from a modern point of view taking into account of the emancipation of women that had taken place over the past hundred years. The main characters are the same, the storyline loosely follows the classic, but deviates more and more as it advances. Hjalmar is the main character, we see things from his perspective, the singular third person is reserved for him. The book is divided into five parts, the structure and style develops from classical continuous to intermittent modern. The wild duck symbol is present, but some others are included as well, most notably the lion that eats grass and the Viking legend. Conversations and events not from the classical masterpiece have been adopted from real life cases.Wild duck revisited criticises modern western society and lifestyle for being unable to fulfil the most rudimental of all human needs, the need for love. It also tries to determine how much someone’s identity can be twisted, the limits that nature (genes etc.) impose on the individual.John Fajo, 2003
