Different Choices and Life Trajectories
This prompt brought to mind the book Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman. I borrowed it from the library in college and absolutely loved it. That’s saying a lot since I’m usually not one to be entertained by speculative or science fiction, although I don’t know that this book fell in that category. Still, this one… Read more

As Much as I’d Love to Say Chomper…
Not all Sharptooth (T-Rexes) would be as nice, so it would have to be a Spiketail (Stegosaurus). I mean, if we’re talking one breed, but if it’s exactly one dinosaur, Chomper.
