To get in the right mood and writing flow, I'm revisiting Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Do you think these three books, combined with my creativity, will tickle your curiosity?(less)

He traveled alone with his horse and covered wagon across Canada, meeting and interacting with American Indians. His letters home to Europe detailed their habits and cultures, offering glimpses into his unique and adventurous journey.(less)

“A conspiratorial biter, finding no rival nearby, relentlessly gnawed at their own forearm.
(From: The Jar of Dragonflies)”
Delenda Carthago, Incredible Stories at the Bus Stop: A Flash Fiction Collection on Human Experience

“All became the same, indistinguishable: mediocrely skilled, lovers of the same things, and dreamers of the same desire. No one would have suffered from another’s talent, endured detestable individualities, or been endangered by embarrassing diversities. While no one would have been happier anymore, nobody would have had to question their beliefs.
(From: Hyperuranium)”
Delenda Carthago, Incredible Stories at the Bus Stop: A Flash Fiction Collection on Human Experience

“As I watched the new couple settle into the apartment, I wondered if they, too, would one day take in a stranger in need, continuing the cycle of kindness that had carried us this far.
(From: Those Little Things)”
