People always talked about killing Hitler. "If you could go back in time and kill Hitler, would you?" The answer, resoundingly, was "Hellz yeah." Until now, however, the question had been entirely hypothetical. Fredersen was the first person with the opportunity to actually do it, but Fredersen had bigger plans. He also had no intention of setting foot in that machine himself. He had once sent half an avocado twenty minutes into the future just to test it. He didn't know why it had re-emerged as a plasticine walrus, but he sure as hell wasn't going to stick his head in to find out.
"Robot!" He clapped his hands to summon the device. It was a cheap one. He had little money, and if this worked he would have less still. None, in fact: nobody would. It would be worth it, though.
The robot wheeled towards him. "Please enter command." Its voice synthesiser was truly terrible: like nails on a blackboard, if the blackboard had laryngitis and was trying to sing Carmen.
"Your job," he spoke dramatically, for the benefit of the lone television camera he had set up to capture the moment, "is to erase evil from history!" The real command he tapped into the robot's keypad: "Enter the machine and destroy all money." Money was the root of all evil, they said, and they were right. Fredersen had done his research. All crimes, even those that seemed violent and unplanned on the surface, had their ultimate cause in financial gain. Anyone who thought differently simply didn't appreciate the sheer scale and brilliance of his plan.
The robot rolled into the machine, emitting a small puff of sherbet and lice as it passed into the temporal disassociation field. Fredersen made a mental note to replace the plasma reticulation filter: he'd pick one up from the corner shop later in the afternoon. Despite this hiccup, however, the robot's journey went smoothly. It vanished in a sparkly haze. To the camera, it would appear as though it simply reappeared a few seconds later, but Fredersen knew the truth. Its voyage had covered hundreds—no, thousands—of years. There was no telling how many stops it had made throughout history.
Frederson stuck his hands in his pockets and his face fell. He felt change, and so he had changed nothing. He took a penny out and squinted at it. Definitely still money.
"Heap of junk!" He slapped the robot on the side of its plastic head. "You haven't done anything!"
"Incorrect," the robot droned. "Task has been completed as specified. Claude is dead. Humankind has been freed from the corrupting influence of impressionist art."
Frederson scrolled back through the robot's memory to check. "Money, you idiot! That was supposed to say 'money!' What have you done?" His rage becoming unbearable, he hurled his clipboard into the time machine, causing it to turn up thirty seconds earlier as a startled egret. Fredersen knew money was the root of all evil, but at that particular moment he couldn't help but wish that he'd spent just a little more of it and got a robot with spellcheck.

Believe in Your Strengths (Poem)
Believe in Your Strengths By J.C. Solis What strength I hold within My heart To journey’s made in rocky starts The pain and joys of Life abound That are not sullied and made sound For Life carries Me through its gait And walks Me down towards my fate The joys and pleasures that I feel Make my life become much more real But those with hearts heavy with weight Who’s goodness came just far too late Will not be forgotten by time And can still live their lives sublime The pain held in a million years Of suffering and mounting fears This woe’s not meant to always last And will soon be left to The Past What Strength we hold within Our Hearts A power that won’t come apart This drive to see what fate does bring Is what won’t make Me fear a thing For even if I’m on the ground And filled with screams of pain abound I am a man who wants to see The life I can live filled with glee For even as I rot away As Life comes by day after day For even through this agony I still aim

FFM9 2022 - Tam Lin (ish!)
A warning to you children all who dwell this region round, For in the woods at Carterhaugh there roams a great hell hound. And if you go by Carterhaugh, he’ll chase you out of breath. Then he’ll pin you to the floor and lick you half to death. Now Janet was a wilful child, who ne’er did as she should; She filled her purse with doggy treats and ran straight to that wood. She had not stepped inside the woods a foot but barely three, When she spied two glowing eyes a-peering round a tree. She threw a ball, he brought it back, then led her to a glade, And there upon the soft green grass they sported and they played. They chased around played tug of war, he fairly won her heart, And Janet, she decided then, that they should never part. They lay together, dog and girl, exhausted from their game, And from the collar round his neck, Janet read his name. “Tamelene” the tag did say but what turned her heart to ice, Was the footnote scratched in underneath “The Devil’s Sacrifice.” “Oh
