A Story in the Steampunk Fantasy Universe
If Gottfried Leibniz had published his work on binary numbers and if Charles Babbage had read it, if Prince Albert had lived to a ripe old age and Victoria not become a bitter widow, the late XIX Century might have turned out like this!
An ordinary man discovers he can heal. Really heal. But not everyone is pleased with his gift. Some want it for themselves, and are willing to do anything to get his 'secret'. How does he cope when greatness is thrust upon him?
This Story is Part of Jake's Universe
After 22 years of marriage, things go astray for Noah. A man without vision to see ahead, but highly competent at his work. Cultural pressures in a land he does not know create a current that pulls him along to a place he knows not. But he ends up with a wife and two mistresses! While this story is not specifically attached to the Jake’s Choices Universe, assumes knowledge of life in the Philippines, which I have covered in the Threads Joyfully and with Ganda stories in the Universe.

Kenny Walsh has finally met the love of his life, cute, bright Emma Conroy. She loves him, too, and has agreed to marry him. But Emma has been raised by strict parents, and will do nothing remotely sexual until they're married. His friends call her "Little Miss Prim". Kenny's friends warn him that women like that seldom become sexually adventurous after the "I do's". But Kenny's sure that everything will work out fine, sex-wise. You should be careful what you wish for.
This is just a quick little love story. It’s a slightly expanded version of a writers challenge where a 1,000-word story had to include portions of lyrics from several different songs. That’s why certain scenes may seem a bit forced, like the bar room. This story has references to 5 songs. If you’re the type that enjoys this sort of thing, name as many as you can in the comments. Fair warning—several are quite obscure. Have fun!
