Minion Critique
Minion Critique: Satire By F.G. Baker Spoken by Rod Sterling: In a book-publishing world controlled by one last corporation, it was necessary to create an elite cadre of editorial minions to prevent anyone from writing anything remotely original. It began in colleges, teacher’s trade schools and all classrooms, even and especially at writer’s retreats where the indoctrination could be applied 24 hours a day. The programing called ‘creative writing’ quickly generated a legion of editors, writers and agents that could group-think the mantra to the letter. All creativity was driven out of fiction until homogenous drivel was all that remained. We look in on a typical ‘critique session’ in which, by chance, the ultimate drivel was produced.Read More

School is Hell – Short Story
School is Hell F.G. Baker 6/15/15 I was a dead man, lying spread eagle on my back, face turned up toward the mid-morning gloom of another overcast Chicago day. My skinned knees told the story of how valiantly I fought against the insurmountable odds, like Lancelot fighting barehanded against the huge and overwhelming Dark Knight and his heavy, spiked Mace. Blood seemed to ooze from every pore of my knees and elbows, where they had been savagely ground into the gravel surface of the ground. My face, pale and in repose, was a swollen mass of contusions from the beating I had received, blood everywhere, torn by mighty fists. I had fought bravely, desperately using my arms to block the heavy blows as best I could.Read More
