It ain’t easy!
The Castlehom Chronicles 1.01
That’s right 1.01 the first revision erazed almost all of my Posts (starbadger) but none of our first editor: Elisabeth Thrush. I had to do that because what is happening is so much better than I expected back in January. The Stories to be told are being lived. Her Husband is laid off when Mercedes give up on building cars in AMerica and she’s putting together a cleaning Co. I won’t be surprised becomes a national franchise. The next editor coming on board is going through a total life reset. He and his wife, university graduates and homeowners are wiped out, ten years into the perfect life they both lose their jobs and the house is foreclosed. They are buying an RV and there will be despatches from the road and Wal-Mart Parking Lot. This is going to the #1 reality site on the Net. Most of the editors are young and they have to fix the world as it is where they live. A few of us are so old we are surprised we have a pulse. Me for example. The only rule here is that there is no “we and they”. All six billion of us are in this together and everyone has a story. Most of humankind will be too busy to write. We are the lucky few. We have to get the simple story out and yes the Internet can be the critical difference - we are so close to “all together now”. Either this is the last century or the first century of humans waking up to what Buddha and Christ and My Uncle Joe used to say. Sorry to end on silly but the end of man is hardly the end of the earth. Species have been coming and going from the beginning of life on earth about a half billion years ago. Part of my putting Castlehom together in the first place was a reaction to that best selling book about “what if humans went away”. My money is that the animals that live under foot would be the next species to have a go and my money is on racoons. I like rats but too small and crows - I don’t think so. Hands matter. Bats are a long shot. Once the racoons figure out how to open jars of peanut butter, tin cans will be easy and then they’ve got all they need to be get to where we are now but in less time than it took us. That book has been written. Castlehom is no less than the site to wake up the sleepers. All together now.
