When an ordinary person, any of us, suddenly finds himself in a situation of life or death in the middle of the jungle, would you know how to survive?

It’s spring break! But Max doesn’t get to go to the comic book convention to see his favorite superhero Mr. Amazing like he wants to. No, he has to spend it at the beach with his family. And his vacation turns into one horrible disaster after another. First, there’s the sticky road trip, thanks to his little sister’s messy eating habits. Then, he suffers the worst sunburn ever, and to top all of that, his nose has a dangerous confrontation with a crab.

This is my first attempt at writing a laugh-out-loud comedy. It is a satirical look at what it’s like for your average 18-year-old who joins the elite British Army Parachute Regiment. From the initial shock of leaving home to the pride on donning the famous Maroon Beret. However, this is not your typical book. The story is narrated by a very clever and sarcastic fly. If this fly were to be compared to a human, it would probably be a morphed version of Jeremy Clarkson and Billy Connelly.

Christmas break is only a few weeks away. But before Max can relax and enjoy his winter holiday, he has to face a danger beyond any others that he has come across at Filmore Middle School. It is something he fears more than the school bully, Bart Johnson. Something more embarrassing than having to wear stinky gym clothes from the Lost and Found. The Winter School Dance! Girls are supposed to ask the boys this time to the dance. Will anyone ask Max? He doesn’t even know if he wants to go. Will he be expected to actually dance at the event?

Today is Halloween, Max’s favorite day of the year. That’s because of trick-or-treating, the neighborhood haunted house, and he gets to dress up as his favorite superhero, Mr. Amazing. But the day doesn’t start off as Max had hoped. First, his best friend, Sam, also dresses up Mr. Amazing. That’s super embarrassing. Then he has to deal with the big kids at Filmore Middle School who keep tugging on his cape and snapping his mask. That is super annoying. And on top of it, his parents ruin his plans to go trick-or-treating. That is super upsetting.

School’s out! But that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the school year for Max and his best friend Sam. It just means that Filmore Middle School is closing because of the Covid-19 flu pandemic. Max will be quarantined at home for “an indefinite amount of time”. Instead of having fun outsmarting the school’s bully, he will be adapting to online classes, crazy family meetings, and using dad's hilarious downstairs toilet.

It begins immediately. There’s no transition period, no trial run, no supervised training, no e-learning module, and no simulation.

Mysia, a young woman, leads a monochromatic life that, step by step, will become increasingly tinged with black, a black that knows sadness, fear, mourning. And in an escalation of violence, when the situation seems to become irreparable, impossible to bear, it will seem as if there is only one solution. But life is sometimes able to surprise us, and although this will not represent a fair reward for the wrongs suffered, perhaps over time it will be able to mitigate the memories, cushioning sharp edges and opening a glimmer of light. Every one of us deserves a life in color.

The first step for you is to sharpen your intellect and not buy anything that is presented without question. To wake yourself up, skeptical thinking and critical questioning are extremely important.
