Brief Insight - Reginald Terlinger Reggie was a man like a sack of towels, balding with what remained of his hair being dark blonde like dirty straw. His eyes were pale green, a fact that he held in high regard considering the rarity of the gene and its general use as an icebreaker at parties (Not that he ever went to parties mind you but the option was certainly there.)Brief Insight - Reginald Terlinger by ~MetarsusDemented
His fingernails were as flint, chipped and sudden though long enough to seem as though they needed a trim. He repeatedly ran the nail on his middle finger sideways across the surface of his couch, hoping that the rough fabric would at least slightly wear down the nail, though he was well aware that this was
Sandman's Gambit Excerpt - Troxel and Cats On the bus, Reginald saw three boys. They each of them were completely average in appearance, except for the one in the center of their trifecta, who was rotund. Not the sort where an observer would think 'Oh, he's a bit big," but rather, this boy was large enough that if he were to fall from a great height his entrails would burst like a water balloon filled with tomato innards.Sandman's Gambit Excerpt - Troxel and Cats by ~MetarsusDemented

But for how long? So many workers, politicians, and country music stars claim to be proud of their 'simple upbringing'. They're proud of their lack of formal education, 'salt of the earth' they call themselves. And should their children show any intellectual prowess or ambition?

The Potential of Humanity Consider, if you will, the primordial genesis of civilization. The early human tribes, scattered throughout the world, nomads of the unexplored wastes and wonders of this mother Earth. What must it have been like, to be part of one of those spattered conglomerates of early homo sapien? Surely the strongest of the group were the ones who led the rest of their tribe, the dominant striding behemoths of strength and power. The hunters, the protectors, those who were so clearly superior to all others.The Potential of Humanity by ~MetarsusDemented
But what of, say, the childbearers? The mothers of the precious new generation, when so often they would die young, these women must have been tr
