Brotherly Love a Coming

About 21 years ago I sat down to write a little short about something, and it just was not there, but now it makes a little more sense.  I will dust off this little bit and publish it here, and see if it doesn't make a few people think.  Of course this will be the edited version, and I hope I don't taint it to much, but I will do my best not to let the now enter the past.  Look for it to hit the blog near the end of the week, around Friday.

At one time many, many books (or works of literature) were published this way (Charles Dickens is known for his serial publications).  Some were then repackaged into a collection known as a novel, but many were not until much later.  It is not that a full length work such as a novel is bad, or that it is something really new, but the serial seems to had faded, but maybe not. The Return of the Serial The serial is making a comeback on the world wide web.  I see blogs that act very much like serials, and some are specifically designed to be very ...
