There is no such thing as a mundane existence. Adventure is everywhere around us. It is for us to recognize those stories that tantalize the mind and tickle the spirit. These stories are a mixture of romance, adventure, history, and a touch of science fiction. If nothing else, humans are humans in the journey of life. Enter into the following stories with an open mind and you will find the familiar and the unfamiliar that will cause some thought beyond the enjoyment of listening.

Man, in his technological brilliance, has outdone himself. Political wrangling and disparate factions have vied and fought for limited resources, until those were exhausted. Some could be created; many could not. Space and the oceans held some promise, but never yielded sufficient quantities for the swelling hordes. The results were cataclysmic, at first minor skirmishes, later blooming into wholesale destruction. Humanity had lost its way.

The girl who led the English against the French in the One Hundred Years War, who hears voices of the saints and God himself, discovers she will burn at the stake, not for leading the French Armies against her English captors, not for heresy against the church, but for cross-dressing. Despised by Bishop Cauchon, he lays out a legal case against Joan which is full of lies but no one goes against him. Most look forward to watching whom they believe is the devil woman burn at the stake. A guard she has befriended lays out an escape plan to free her but fate intervenes.
