John Betner wanted his own clone girlfriend so badly!
They were getting cheaper all the time, but to John they were still out of reach for the moment, and that really burned him up. He was twenty and just out of a relationship with his first human girlfriend.
That had lasted a couple of years and was much more of an ordeal than he had ever imagined it could be! If he could have gotten a clone woman, things would have been much better for him, he knew.
But those wonderful things, made to order just like you wanted, not only the body but the personality too, were still only what the rich could afford.
However, he was determined to find a way to get one and see if they lived up to the hype.
My latest short story is now available as a Kindle ebook (free with Kindle Unlimited for about the next 90 days), and as an audiobook (also free with Kindle Unlimited/Audible trial for about the next 90 days).

“The migraine headache came on as soon as I woke up. I wasn’t sure what caused it, I never am. Though I had my suspicions…like my nightmares and the strange creatures there.”
I hope you had a good Christmas and holiday season!
Happy new year!
It’s nice to see the length of the days growing quickly since we have passed out of the dark time of the year following the winter solstice (“sun stand still”) on December 21st (and the three following days of nearly the same length of daylight, until December 25th when the longer days really started to kick in), and we arrived back into the light time of the year! (Well, for us here in the northern hemisphere, anyway…).
Published today: “Simpson: D.U.M.B.s (Deep Underground Military Bases) – Prequel”
The story of “The General” before the D.U.M.B.s series began, back when he was a younger First Lieutenant John Simpson, and how he came to be involved with the shadow military and the secret war with the Greys.
The Last Spike site in Eagle Pass, Craigellachie, British Columbia, Canada, is where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven, on the morning of November 7th, 1885. I was first there in 1986 during a family road trip from Toronto to Vancouver for Expo ’86. We got replicas of the last spike in the “Last Spike Gift Shope” there – still have them!
In the spring of 2024, I was on another long road trip and passed through Craigellachie, so I had to stop! I got this video of the Rocky Mountaineer train rolling in, westbound. It was a lovely day for it, and I did recall being there, many years ago. My Dad worked for the CPR for 42 years, so this visit was especially poignant, as he passed away in 2020.

Ministry Live at Cruel World 2024 in Pasadena, CA. 05-11-2024 (Full Set)
Pigs can now fly….This is a triumph! Love it, Uncle Al!
It was in August of 1992, on a hot summer’s day on the second Lollapalooza tour, (in Barrie, Canada) when Ministry took the stage, that time-and-space split apart…I’d never heard, or seen, anything like it. I know I wasn’t alone in that perception. I became an instant fan. Sure, I’d heard Ministry singles on the radio, like “Everyday is Halloween”, and danced to them in clubs – but seeing Ministry live was on a whole ‘nother level.
I went on to scour used record stores for any recordings of Ministry I could find. The early albums I found from the 1980’s were very different from the type of music I had heard that fine day. But I loved the early music, too! It was well-written, masterfully composed and played, and recorded on cutting-edge technology that made it possible – true 1980’s art you could dance to!
As for this show from the Cruel World Festival, I never thought I’d get to hear older Ministry songs performed live, as Al Jourgensen had strongly disowned them numerous times, publicly. I always thought that was a shame, and found that attitude hard to digest, as those early songs are some of his best work; many seem to agree, as evidenced by the positive comments on YouTube to this concert.
I can say that finding the video of this show is a very unexpected pleasure! Wish I had been there! I hope they tour with this stuff (and even expand it more), I’ll be there!
I’ve heard that Paul Barker is going to part of an upcoming Ministry record…wow! Hope it’s true. His presence has been very missed on the serval albums since his departure, since he and Al laid down the breakthrough Ministry sounds. This Ministry “revival” could truly be the gift that keeps giving! New recordings of select old songs on the way, too? Am I dreaming?
To sum up: If you’ve never experienced Ministry live, and you get the chance, I have two words of advice: DO IT!
-Dave
