 Jericho’s Shortest Stories



New Paradigm for Fast Living


       His engine roared

               meant for speed

               the slightest pressure

               jolted the needle


              People want to share and celebrate, more so than compare and compete*


             He ran over, raced over

             turned over

             burnt out

             paid the fine

             defeated


            She set a new standard

            modeled and created a dominant paradigm

            She arrived last

            She won the race


                          - Bernie Paquette


Paradigm shift examples in life include discovering new behaviors and ideas upon moving from a competitive fast-moving society; and realizing the need for a different measure of quality of life.
