Chapter One Maya woke up one morning by the sound of her phone. When she looked at the phone to check the notification, the notification said “Delete one person.” And the face of the person that popped up was her boyfriend. Her boyfriend used to be a tall, fair and handsome guy who had been showing love and care to her while they were in school. But after they graduated from school, he had been so cruel to her. Always trying to dictate for her, control her, and forcing her to do what she had never dreamt of doing. The last time they talked to each other was like two months ago when he asked Maya to send him her nude pictures. Since she didn’t allow them to have sex before marriage or else they are going to end up breaking up — and if she truly loved him after their five years of dating — Maya tried to make excuses in order to divert the topic. But when the pressure became too much, she stopped talking to him. And since her boyfriend didn’t see any positive response, he gave up talking to her as well. And now that the notification came to her to delete someone, she said to the phone, “What will happen if I delete this person?” Then the notification came again saying, “You will forget all about the person. Both the good and bad that he or she had done to you.” “So you mean all the good memories also? Can’t we find a way to remove the bad memory alone?” she said. A message popped up on her phone. It said: “NO. That is impossible. And you have less than 10 minutes to decide.”

- The Porcelain Throne's Portal
Some forty years ago, I had the opportunity to have as many friends over as I'd like while my parents were at work. I was told that the house was now mine. My siblings, nine years older than me, were all gone. A 3-1/2-bedroom home with two bathrooms and a decked-out basement with a barn that I called Pete's Pub. Pete's Pub also had a large freezer that I easily put quarter barrels in if needed, depending upon the amount of people that came over. It was like running a speakeasy, except there was no famous knock and there was no one not accepted. Everybody could come in as long as you were either a jock, a freak, or just a walking nomad. As long as you had a buck to suck, you were in this party, but this party wasn't for pussies either. It had shots. We were going to do whisky. We were going to do tequila. We even did a day of vodka. It's morning, for God's sake! Make mamasas. Though my friends and I were not into pussy drinks, we went for the gusto, probably whisky and water for the most. Back then, wines were still big: country quencher, Boon's Farm, strawberry hill, things like that. It was amazing at 14% alcohol, and drinking like it's a beer, you get very trashed. You start talking about shit that isn't there. You start to do shit that's not there. You march up big hills by yourself and sit down and what the hell is going on? It's a good time. Have the normies check on you once in a while, just in case you forgot to put your cataract on or you're laying in frozen or whatever your issue may be. Take care. God bless! One of my neighbors is out for me, saying I wasn't home to fight with her. I guess the word that came down is these are the same people, mind you, that flooded our apartment there in 303 or in 203. Our apartment happens to be on the first floor. You go in the basement for 101 and 102. That's either here or there at the moment, because here we are. This is where I got to. I'm pretty much a washed-up wrestler. I got my ass kicked by the guy who ran the meeting prior to this, Mike Canodo. I'm sure he's going to teach another rough crowd to do more of that, because that's what he's about, and that's what I respect about him. He keeps doing the next right thing, allowing himself to make mistakes. You
