Honey Badger Goes to Hell: and Heaven

For mature readers.

A short excerpt:

Honey Badger was careless in crossing the street one day and was almost hit by a taxi, but fortunately a man yelled, “LOOK OUT!” and grabbed her arm and pulled her out of danger. The man was actor Ryan Gosling, who said to her, “Hey, girl,” and then recommended that she read Rebecca West. Mr. Gosling told Honey that Ms. West once said, “I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute.” After talking with Mr. Gosling briefly, Honey thought, “When I look into your eyes, I see the revolution.” Actually, this did not happen to Honey, but she liked to think that it could happen.

While Honey Badger was in college, she and a friend got in an elevator in an apartment building late at night. In a corner of the elevator was a man who had gotten drunk with some other people and then passed out in the elevator and peed himself. Apparently, the “friends” he had been with had also needed to pee really badly, so they had peed on him. Honey had not drunk much alcohol in her life, and she resolved to not drink any alcohol in her life. She liked being safe and being aware of what was happening around her. Honey and her friend left the man in the elevator, but Honey called the police so the man could get some much-needed help.

About the Author

I would like to see my retellings of classic literature used in schools, so I give permission to the country of Finland (and all other countries) to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. I also give permission to the state of Texas (and all other states) to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. I also give permission to all teachers to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. Teachers need not actually teach my retellings. Teachers are welcome to give students copies of my eBooks as background material. For example, if they are teaching Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey,” teachers are welcome to give students copies of my “Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’: A Retelling in Prose” and tell students, “Here’s another ancient epic you may want to read in your spare time.” I also write collections of anecdotes; most of the anecdotes are funny or at least interesting, while some provoke thinking. Libraries, download my books free. This is from Smashwords' FAQ section: "Does Smashwords distribute to libraries? "Yes! We have two methods of distributing to libraries: 1. Via library aggregators. Library aggregators, such as OverDrive and Baker & Taylor's Axis360 service, allow libraries to purchase books. Smashwords is working with multiple library aggregators, and is in the process of signing up additional aggregators. 2. On August 7, 2012, Smashwords announced Library Direct. This distribution option allows libraries and library networks to acquire and host Smashwords ebooks on their own servers. This option is only available to libraries who place large "opening collection" orders, typically in the range of $20,000-$50,000, and the libraries must have the ability to host and manage the books, and apply industry-standard DRM to manage one-checkout-at-a-time borrows. To learn more about these library distribution options, visit your Dashboard's Channel Manager." David Bruce is a retired anecdote columnist at "The Athens News" in Athens, Ohio. He has also retired from teaching English at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
