Life at the heart of the modern age - where old dreams and new cultures collide

- TomTom thinks he might have accidentally come close to being a father before, but he still thinks it is the woman's job to take care of such things.

- Sunok Yoon is the queen of deception weaving a web of deceit in the digital shadows

- Since meeting Candice, Merle Atkins has fully embraced the free love movement. How is that even possible? Never mind. One should never look a sexual gift horse in the mouth.

A Tapestry of humanity awaits

We all hope. It's what keeps us alive."
