Life has a funny way of throwing a wrench in the spokes. One day I was about to take my hot coworker out to lunch, and suddenly I was struck by lightning and transported to a different world. Crazy how that works. Once I got over my initial shock, I realized that this place was absolutely incredible. Furthermore, all of the adult men were killed in battle just over a year ago. Yes, I was the only guy in town. Destiny’s hero, right? Wrong. Turns out I wasn’t the hero they wanted and prayed for.

Cosa faresti se fossi Dio? Pirjeri Ryynänen, gruista di Helsinki, una risposta l'avrebbe trovata nei quotidiani monologhi di protesta che in cima alla sua gru rivolge all'Onnipotente: eliminerebbe fame e povertà, proteggerebbe l'ambiente e garantirebbe a tutti pace e felicità.

Every day in this place was like heaven. I had two beautiful wives that loved me and the entire valley respected me. I was living the dream. But things come crashing to a halt when the Ghost Prince and his army are seen right outside the valley. My perfect life becomes a scramble to prepare, and even still our fate hangs in question.

I've settled into an amazing life in the hidden city of Moonglow. Every morning I practice sword fighting with Anaya, every afternoon is spent with a beautiful woman hand-selected by the queen, and every night one of the local hot moms comes to see me. Everyone is grateful for my existence; even their deity thanks me. Really, it's hard to complain when I feel this loved and important.

Scritto nel 1909, è l'ultimo racconto di Mark Twain, totalmente fantastico, e ispirato da una vera figura di marinaio che gli aveva narrato una avventura simile, nel 1866. La storia fu però tenuta in sospeso e rimaneggiata per tanti anni, finché, un anno prima di morire, la pubblicò su una rivista.

Dr. Isabelle King has arrived on Paradise Island for one thing and one thing only - marine life research. Certainly not to explore her sexual fantasies or indulge in erotic adventures at Paradise Resort. But when she discovers a sexy stranger named Dax, she can't help but feel the physical and emotional attraction. Dax is hiding something. After all, he dives without an oxygen tank and has capabilities no human should have. And how does he know so much about her? It's almost as if she's connected to him, and that scares her.
