That evening, Nov. 19th, 1981, Jim was sitting in the train station of Brig, Switzerland, writing in his trip log book. Brig was a small city not far from Zermatt, and was an important rail link in that area. Jim planned to catch a night train across the Alps to northern Italy.                      The train would cut across one of the major passes which connected Italy to central Europe--there was the famous St. Bernard, the Simplon, and one or two others. These passes were

Here is the second short story in my fiction section. In this, again I was trying for mood and atmosphere, rather than just storyline. To create a sense of mystery , as well as of foreboding and the ominous. Because of the treacherous danger of the Swiss Alps, in which the story takes place. The juxtaposition of the irresistible beauty of those mountains, with the nearness of death , in them. In the small skiing and climbing resort town of Zermatt, Switzerland, there is a

There were  dozens  of Monet paintings in the museum, which was a long narrow building, two floors, built in the 1860's as a court for a game, similar to modern racketball or tennis. The building was turned into an art museum in the early 20th century, the interior modernized: plain white walls with pictures

Allow me to say a few words about the fiction section of this magazine. These works are original "short stories", as this genre is called, by me, solely. I began writing in the late 1980's and my first effort at a short story won second place in a contest here in the US in 1989. I've evolved greatly as a writer since that time. The story below is intended to be an homage to the city of Paris, France (one of my favorite cities in the world) and its great art. Also, to the peop

The "establishment" news media had whipped up a sort of frenzy of fear, that Trump would
