Springtime seeds fallingSwirling on a warm southern breezeScattering like dreams. Jim Bates loves to write. He takes his inspiration from people and nature. "LIfe is a gift," he says. He loves every minute of it.

My grandfather was the last of the freak hunters. In his younger days he traveled the world to find for circus and carnival sideshows the “Peerless Prodigies of Physical Phenomena & Marvelous Living Human Curiosities.” For a man who left school at fourteen to join a traveling carnival he had quite the baroque vocabulary, crammed with superlatives, overflowing with adjectives and adverbs....

The steady hum of wasps gets louder,as if someone demonstrates the International Prototype of hummade of platinum and iridium,exhibited under the glass dome of the summer noon.The watch on your wrist was a tadpole in amber,showing the girlish time, toy time.Here’s the country house, ivy-clad,a green poodle rearing on its hunches,holding a balcony in its teeth....

The cat arrived at approximately 5:07 that Tuesday evening. Stalks of wheat, normally static or singing softly in the breeze, parted and revealed two green, dinnerplate-sized eyes. The aging farmer leaned forward in his rocking chair. The gnarled wood pressed against his iron hands. The farmer had never seen bears come through his field so directly. Bears came and went in these parts, but never caused trouble....

When Sheila Worth came to work that Monday morning wearing a corrugated cardboard box and little else, it brought barely a hint of the commotion to come. We were, after all, inside a Burlington, WI, Packaging Corporation of America plant, where hulking machines crank out thousands of boxes daily. We PCAers likely dream of boxes, I know I do, and some workers now and then do get goofy with them: eat lunch inside a big one, wear a smaller one as a helmet, draw their dog Jojo’s face on one and pretend it’s him....
