I started putting together this story while I was living in Denver. It follows Jax Alpine as he navigates the city as part of the working homeless.

The character was inspired by someone I knew when I was working at a self-storage facility.

I wrote a piece discussing Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive policies and political stances, mainly how he left the GOP in 1912 to form the Progressive Party. He did so, believing the Republicans had abandoned the average person because they had. Nowadays, conservatives would most likely label him a Socialist.

I'm horrible at posting. I'm working on it. Here's the opening to a Robin Hood re-imaging I decided to write.

I wanted to focus more on the original ballads, not the American version. For the origin chapter, I used the ballad "Progress to Nottingham."

From the article:
"Now, as we stand on the threshold of a new era, it is time to view these stories for what they are – not as literal truths, but as symbolic markers of our evolutionary journey. They are the collective dreams and fears of a species coming to terms with its existence in a vast and mysterious universe."

An excerpt from the chapter:

Lucifer entertained a charming theory that a well-executed prank might serve as the metaphorical crowbar to dislodge the proverbial stick that had taken up permanent residence in Michael's nether regions since his very inception.

This chapter delves deep into the musings and memories of Lucifer and his fellow inmates of Hell, exploring themes of hope, nostalgia, and the longing for redemption amidst eternal damnation.

Here's an excerpt from the chapter Icy Hellish Accommodations:

"'I just don't get it. How can Brutus and I be considered betrayers?' Cassius would frequently lament. 'Yes, we did help assassinate Julius Caesar, but the man was insufferable! He's the one who turned Rome into a dictatorship! Before that—'

'It was a corrupt republic that let the rich trample on the poor,' Lucifer interjected, having heard the tirade countless times.

'Well, sure, when you put it like that, it sounds terrible.'"
