60+ three-time immigrant, whose life in Africa, Australia, and America, work with industrial and medical quality & safety, and obsession with mortality data and accidents, results in morbid short stories. I write fiction # shortstories that are like “Final Destination” meets “The Monkey’s Paw” (W. W. Jacobs, 1902). A little bit Poe, a touch of Dahl, and a hint of Gorey. When I am not writing, I do bare-bow archery, walk a husky, and pick up other people's litter. # writer # author # fiction

A sizable slice of those are people who believe in the "Prosperity Doctrine" or Right-wing Christianity, or the people like Oprah who believe in "Attraction Theory" and that mere thoughts and positive energy shape reality.
So, they think that as "good people" who give out positive thoughts, they will never be without a home. They also tend to believe the same foolishness about things like cancer, and are astounded when they get a diagnosis and face surgery, chemo, or death
