* The intro. "Mere power and mere knowledge exalt human nature but
|
||
|
|
* do not bless it."
|
||
|
|
* (Francis Bacon - Advancement of Learning)
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* We have had some major technical problems. I will not bore you with the
|
||
|
|
* details, just mention that our beloved *uxu.org has been out of order.
|
||
|
|
* Incoming mail has been lost, together with years of programming and our
|
||
|
|
* subscriberlist! Hopefully our executive editor (Bravemoore) will be able
|
||
|
|
* to reconstruct it all. (Actually, he is working on it right now, day and
|
||
|
|
* night. Therefore, this index was put together by someone else.) Modern
|
||
|
|
* technology exalt human nature but certainly do not bless it.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* Anyway...
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* Welcome to uXu release #32. Yep, we have got new writers and new files,
|
||
|
|
* thus also new and interesting view-points on various aspects of life
|
||
|
|
* (and death actually) - and it has all been mended together for You,
|
||
|
|
* dear reader. The uXu celebrate its seventh year in the global textfile
|
||
|
|
* industry this year, and we assure you that we will continue for many
|
||
|
|
* years to come.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
* Ahila (Malaysia), Blackfire (Norway), M. James Dinniman (USA), Pam
|
||

|

|
* Do not forget to pay a visit to http://uXu.org - constantly in flux.

October December October December October December Releases 1998:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
466: "Chapel Mornings" by Hedge. At night, you dream. In the morning,
|
||
|
|
you open your eyes; and usually, you get out of bed. Day in and day out.
|
||
|
|
But all mornings are not like this. Some mornings, you lack the
|
||
|
|
sufficient motivation to do anything else but to stay in bed, ponder
|
||
|
|
and sort out some unfinished business.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
467: "One Night In The Asshole Saloon" by Max West. Our own master of
|
||
|
|
bizarre and grotesque stories will set you shivering, gasping with
|
||
|
|
terror and gaping with wonder. Prepare yourself for the night of your
|
||
|
|
life. Welcome to the home of entertaining violence: the Asshole Saloon!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
468: "Instant Witness" by Bravemoore. It is a fact: the question 'who
|
||
|
|
watches the watchmen?' is no longer a genuine question; technology of
|
||
|
|
our modern day and age makes us all watchmen. But it is also true that
|
||
|
|
technological 'progress' cannot be stopped. If you think you have seen
|
||
|
|
or predicted everything there is or will be, examine this file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
469: "Stay & Reality - Two Poems" by Pam Sanders. A pair of short poems
|
||
|
|
on the subject of personal relations and inner conflicts - straight
|
||
|
|
from the heart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
470: "Bio Hazard" by The GNN. I warn you! This is a true story! The
|
||
|
|
end of the world is near! Take precautions before it is too late! First,
|
||
|
|
read this file to find out what the hell the problem is. Secondly, do
|
||
|
|
not hey renegade phone company police blast alarm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
471: "The Voice Of Destiny" by Michael Berman. The producer of this text
|
||
|
|
has informed us that he is unsure of what kind of genre it belongs to.
|
||
|
|
His own suggestion is 'ironic mystique'. The uXu does not know either,
|
||
|
|
but we like the text anyhow. It is... hmm... very special, so to say.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
472: "A Man And His Cat" by Hedge. The other evening Hedge was on his
|
||
|
|
way home from work, as usual using public transportation. During this
|
||
|
|
trip, he involved himself in a conversation with someone who never took
|
||
|
|
showers (but managed to stay clean), ate food from a plate on the floor
|
||
|
|
(without losing dignity) and attended lectures at the university
|
||
|
|
(without being able to open doors). Wonder what kind of person this is?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
473: "Nataraja & Silence - Two Poems" by Ahila. Our second poet from
|
||
|
|
West Malaysia turned after investigations out to be the wife of the
|
||
|
|
first one (Robert James Berry, UXU-458). As before, we are very
|
||
|
|
impressed. If you are into poetry you will not be disappointed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
474: "Memento Mori" by Blackfire. Death is a lonely business, someone
|
||
|
|
once said (and this time I in fact remember who it was: Ray Bradbury).
|
||
|
|
But it is not. When we die, we will be in company of at least one. This
|
||
|
|
story is about what will happen if you dare to confront that person
|
||
|
|
with a unusual question...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
475: "Insignificant Showdown In Central Europe" by The GNN. The world
|
||
|
|
is not run by weapons, energy or money. Indeed, there is a war out
|
||
|
|
there, a world war, but it is not about who has got the most bullets.
|
||
|
|
It is actually all about - love. Here is a tale from this war, told by
|
||
|
|
someone who deserves the Purple Heart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
476: "Random Thoughts Of Bob Slack" by Bob Slack. Existential problems
|
||
|
|
strikes us all now and then (yes, we assume that the readers of this
|
||
|
|
e-zine do think at least twice). Questions such as 'what is the meaning
|
||
|
|
of life' are hard to answer. Nevertheless Bob Slack thinks he actually
|
||
|
|
has a kind of answer. Judge for yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
477: "I Am Alex" by Rich Logsdon. (Rich is not Alex.) Alex is someone
|
||
|
|
you certainly would not like to encounter, especially not at midnight
|
||
|
|
during a full moon. Alex is a monster, your worst nightmare. And in this
|
||
|
|
file he tells all the grisly details - to his distressed psychiatrist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
478: "A Trailer Park Fairy Tale" by M. James Dinniman. Once upon a
|
||
|
|
time there was a male prostitute who lived in a trailer. Early one
|
||
|
|
morning he was woken up by someone knocking at his door. That was the
|
||
|
|
beginning of a day he would never forget. The moral of this absurd text
|
||
|
|
noir is that you never know how things will turn out in the end.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
479: "Heading For A Dark Future" by Blackfire. George Orwell was only
|
||
|
|
partially right, claims the author of this file. 1984 did not become the
|
||
|
|
1984 Orwell imagined, because technology had at the time not come far
|
||
|
|
enough to create the evil, controlling system he described. But do not
|
||
|
|
relax... Around the corner lurks Big Brother of our time: Microsoft.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
480: "Private Sphere" by Speed Devil Show. This is a somewhat brutal
|
||
|
|
and violent story, even though no one actually gets hurt, and even
|
||
|
|
though it describes a kind of paradise. If you are easily upset, pretty
|
||
|
|
please do not read this text. Thank you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
481: "A Happy Christmas Story" by Max West. What is a traditional xmas
|
||
|
|
holiday to you? We all know it is not the same for everyone, but did
|
||
|
|
you know that some people do not even know what they are celebrating?
|
||
|
|
On the other hand, they do not miss out on much...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
482: "uXu Index #32" by The GNN. Yes, this is the index, as usual. And
|
||
|
|
it contains the usual stuff, as usual. The usual stuff is: list of new
|
||
|
|
and old writers, as usual, current files, as usual, long descriptions of
|
||
|
|
files, as usual, list of distribution sites, as usual, and info on how
|
||
|
|
to contact the uXu. As usual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[#482 also includes an index of the latest uXu-S series]
