A Wall Between Worlds
November 9, 1989. The concrete cracked, and the world shifted. The Berlin Wall—once the iron line splitting East and West—was falling.

"Unlucky Number 7s, III"
Seeking Seventies Stud Seeks Submissive Broad: Chronologically, I’m 74YO. Biologically, I’m 24. On patrol, outside Hanoi, in AUG ’72, a flash flood claimed me. Steeped in nutrient-rich mud, I lay in torpor for 50 years, until a backhoe unearthed me.
