    Thanks! Only stories as short as a blog post.

    Recently Igor Frankenstein was captured in Canada. I am working on an article arguing that he should be kept in humane conditions. Society which is humane to the worst is humane to everyone.

    I have never published anything. It would have been great had I been a lawyer, but I took a wrong turn toward STEM.

    I took care of Frankenstein in one. He wasn't dangerous, he was misunderstood- and not real.

    For instance I believe that everyone should have Fundamental Human Rights. I wrote a short story describing the capture of Igor Frankenstein -- a proverbial monster. I argue that even he should be treated humanely.

    Many authors and non-professional writers and bloggers describe their political ideas through Utopias and Anti-Utopias. Only a professional can write a book, but any blogger can write a short story.

    I've tried to write but the story/book never gets finished. Sometimes it has a social point to it. But then again sometimes it doesn't.

    Your problem right there.

    I have never read the Frankenstein book. I have seen the movie by Mel Brooks is all.

    Thank you. Maybe I would have been a lawyer passionate about his work.

    But wrong choices are costly -- I went into STEM.
