25 Gradually the pegasus folded her wings, continuing her canter over the
|
|||
|
|
26 soft grey pavement that had solidified beneath her hooves. The piper
|
|||
|
|
27 finished his song, then began another. Somehow even the soft rocking mothin
|
|||
|
|
28 of the pegasus' canter lulled the piper into a strange mental state. Trees
|
|||
|
|
29 seemed to bow and dance along the sides of the highway, prancin a stately
|
|||
|
|
30 minuet, weaving their way between the underbrush, bushes and shrubs running
|
|||
|
|
31 like children beneath their elder's feet.
|
|||
|
|
32 The road they followed rolled gently up, then down, alternately revealing
|
|||
|
|
33 and concealing small hollows, in which the piper imagined that he could see
|
|||
|
|
34 ghostly dwellings. Breasting one especially large hill, the piper looked
|
|||
|
|
35 down into a larger than usual hollow. The soft road that he was following
|
|||
|
|
36 let down the hill and along the main street of a small village.

46 TO: All Local Skydiving Enthusiasts
|

|
|
47 If you are one of the hundreds of skydivers who bought
|
|||
|
|
48 easy skydiving parachute (model EC-25A) from Bournemouth
|
|||
|
|
49 Broilly Mailorder House; please correct page 7 line 8 of
|
|||
|
|
50 the instruction booklet (Publication 625, 1985); the
|
|||
|
|
51 words "state zip code" should read "pull rip cord." I
|
|||
|
|
52 followed the instruction to the letter, resulting to a
|
|||
|
|
53 very rough landing. I started reciting "97214 -97214 -
|
|||
|
|
54 97214" at 600 ft, but the chute didn't open. I kept on
|
|||
|
|
55 yelling mu zip code till I hit the bough of a fir tree.
|
|||
|
|
56 I learned it the hard way.

59 The wraith like phantasm floated lightly in the dimly lit void. He
|
|||
|
|
60 waited patiently, it had been a long hard struggle for him to locate
|
|||
|
|
61 the position he is in now. He is waiting for an occurrence that happens
|
|||
|
|
62 only once in any given life time.
|
|||
|
|
63 For a seemingly endless period of time he had hypothesized about
|
|||
|
|
64 this occurrence. No one had
|
|||
|
|
65 believed him, they had all thought of him as strange. Now it was
|
|||
|
|
66 coming true. They would see, they would suffer, they would pay for
|
|||
|
|
67 their blindness and doubt. Never again would another doubt him.

78 Gee, I'mm seeing two of everything. It's probably due to having set up my
|
|||
|
|
79 terminal to go into chat with another terminal. Odd to have picked up the
|
|||
|
|
80 phone to hear a carrier signal. After I realized what was going on, I
|
|||
|
|
81 changed the b.p.s. to 300 from 1200 and reset a few of the variables.
|
|||
|
|
82 On the fifth call, success! I was then informed to keep the bells down to
|
|||
|
|
83 an extreme minimum- he was in class, silent typing. This is hard on the

84 eyes. I guess I'll quit for now. Nothing much new here since the last

85 call... Farseer? How interesting...

150 Val: So you made it to the top, huh? Well, it's where you belong.
|
|||
|
|
151 Thanks for the kindness and the compliment the other day. My story continues
|
|||
|
|
152 as follows:
|
|||
|
|
153
|
|||
|
|
154 He was now in the shadows of the inner courtyard. Silently he made his way
|
|||
|
|
155 along the base of the wall, muscles ready to spring into action instantly
|
|||
|
|
156 should the need arise. Carefully he proceeded step by step, feeling along
|
|||
|
|
157 the wall about six inches ahead of him with his hands. Somewhere, there should
|
|||
|
|
158 be a...ah, there it was. A small cord, invisible in the darkness, ran from
|
|||
|
|
159 the wall in a straight line towards the palace. Pausing once more to allow
|
|||
|
|
160 a group of samurai pass over him on the wall, he began to follow the cord,
|
|||
|
|
161 careful not to disturb it lest the guards be alerted of his presence. The
|
|||
|
|
162 cord was a new addition to palace defenses; effective - yet here it defeated
|
|||
|
|
163 its own purpose. He was nearing the end of the rope - he could tell by the
|
|||
|
|
164 decrease in the sag of the rope. Yes, here were several wooden blocks hanging
|
|||
|
|
165 close together. Any movement of the rope would cause the blocks to colide,
|
|||
|
|
166 alerting the guards. And there, to the left, was the watchman, looking straight
|
|||
|
|
167 through him in the shadows of the night. Carefully, so as not to make a sound,
|
|||
|
|
168 he eased his way to the side and circled around back of the guard. Slowly,
|
|||
|
|
169 he eased forward and gingerly set his dagger at the base of the man's throat,
|
|||
|
|
170 careful not to betray his presence by any sound of movement. Then, in one
|
|||
|
|
171 quick flash of movement he drew his dagger across the man's throat. The man
|
|||
|
|
172 dropped silently to the ground, blood pooling on the ground where he lay.
|
|||
|
|
173 Quickly and quietly he drug the body into the darkest shadows, and carefully
|
|||
|
|
174 covered the trail of blood and disturbed earth with dust. Searching the scene
|
|||
|
|
175 one more time for anything he might have missed, he quickly produced from
|
|||
|
|
176 his pack four small claw-like items, made of steel - Ashikos and shukos, made
|
|||
|
|
177 for the specific purpose of scaling walls. He slipped the ashikos over his
|
|||
|
|
178 boots, making sure they were secure and would not come off. Then he quickly
|
|||
|
|
179 slid the shukos over his hands, turned to the wall, and began to study the
|
|||
|
|
180 wall for difficulty of ascent. In the darkness, he could barely make out the
|
|||
|
|
181 faint outline of a window, far above him and a little to the right.
|
|||
|
|
182 Positioning himself directly beneath his goal, he began his ascent. One small
|
|||
|
|
183 misjudgement of balance, and he would fall to the ground below. Carefully
|
|||
|
|
184 he made his way up the side of the building: left foot, left hand, right
|
|||
|
|
185 foot, right hand...until he at last arrived at the top. Listening from the
|
|||
|
|
186 outside, he quickly determined there was no one in whatever room or passageway
|
|||
|
|
187 lay beyond. Quietly, as he had been taught to do since childhood, he pulled
|
|||
|
|
188 himself through the window and into the true darkness beyond.

|
|||
|
|
197 Rodgar was tired. Almost four days had passed since he had last seen
|
|||
|
|
198 ny sign of civilization at all. The shapes of houses and sidewalks,
|
|||
|
|
199 familiar to you and me, faded from his memory. All he remembered was the
|
|||
|
|
200 ss of the snake, the chattering of the birds, and the trickle of water
|
|||
|
|
201 flowing swiftly nearby.
|
|||
|
|
202 Looking up, Rodgar saw that the sun would be at its fullest in a few
|
|||
|
|
203 more minutes. He leaned against a tree to rest, and opened his canteen to
|
|||
|
|
204 drink. So much was he one with the other creatures here that a rodent
|
|||
|
|
205 passed silently by him, hardly noticing his tall frame blocking the sun.
|
|||
|
|
206 A glint of light, a reflection of the sun made by some shiny material,
|
|||
|
|
207 ught Rodgar's attention. A mirror?
|
|||
|
|
208 Intrigued, Rodgar crept closer to the shiny object. Peering through
|
|||
|
|
209 the dense brush, he finally was able to see the rest of the object.
|
|||
|
|
210 In a small clearing was a fountain, about 2 meters high. A
|
|||
|
|
211 lear liquid gushed forth from various openings, falling in an intricate
|
|||
|
|
212 nce to the pool below. Faint markings could be seen upon a plaque.
|
|||
|
|
213 Rodgar stepped through the brush as if enchanted by the strange
|
|||
|
|
214 untain. Almost as if he were dreaming, he kneeled down and drank
|
|||
|
|
215 deeply of the water at the bottom.
|
|||
|
|
216 If anyone had been around to watch, they might have glimpsed Rodgar
|
|||
|
|
217 gin to glow, shine brightly, then vanish altogether. Only an old
|
|||
|
|
218 nteen marked the place where the young explorer had been.
|
|||
|
|
219 Rodgar himself beheld an interesting sight. His mind filled
|
|||
|
|
220 ith disbelief as he found himself shedding light, nearing the
|
|||
|
|
221 luminesence of the sun itself. His mind, unable to go into shock any
|
|||
|
|
222 urther, was unaffected by the larger of the two surprises- he found, after
|
|||
|
|
223 he had stopped glowing, that he was no longer in the world he had known.
|
|||
|
|
224 large building with a stable lay nearby, the rowan tree before them
|
|||
|
|
225 isplayed the early buds of spring. Looking frantically about, then rubbing
|
|||
|
|
226 his eyes four or five times, Rodgar tried to change the scene. Nothing
|
|||
|
|
227 orked. Recovering from shock, he made
|
|||
|
|
228 decision. He got up, brushed himself lightly, then made his way to the doors
|
|||
|
|
229 what seemed to be an Inn.

261 Here was a writer with excitement in his blood, thought THOR of the author
|
|||
|
|
262 called RONIN. Yet, he tells of death and of killing that fill the spaces but
|
|||
|
|
263 not reality. For THOR knew too well the ways of death. Especially the methods of quiet assassins. To feel the
|
|||
|
|
264 victims presence before striking, to smell your victim and to reach out and take him by the throat.
|
|||
|
|
265 It was then that you felt the victims heart stir into high gear and the blood in his veins would race passed your
|
|||
|
|
266 fingertipss. You could feel the gland in his neck, yes it would be there. You
|
|||
|
|
267 could not see it for it would be dark yet even so your fingers could feel
|
|||
|
|
268 the throbbing dove eggs which were your guide to your victims death.
|
|||
|
|
269 The knife must cut below this gland and thrust downward towards the victims
|
|||
|
|
270 sternum. The razor sharp dirk would enter quickly and slash through the victims carotid artery. It would then
|
|||
|
|
271 travel downward across the victims windpipe, under his voice box so that the fight for life would be a silent
|
|||
|
|
272 and losing battle. The only sound that would be heard would be the release of air from the windpipe as the lungs
|
|||
|
|
273 emptied themselves in a vain attempt to scream. But THOR knew there would be no shrill, no cry, no noise, as the
|
|||
|
|
274 victim no longer would have a voice to cryout with. THOR thought to himself how some had spoke of this kind of
|
|||
|
|
275 killings as being an art. Only a mad man or one whose morbid sense of talent and tastes were detached from
|
|||
|
|
276 e method of murder an art form then they must feel like an atomic explosion was some kind of great light-show.
|
|||
|
|
277 THOR hoped that this kind of art would become a lost art for all of mankind.

287 The piper gazed a long moment down the road through the village. The pegasus,
|
|||
|
|
288 impatient at the delay, danced on the soft gray pavement. Down the soft winding
|
|||
|
|
289 road the piper heard whispers and tags of conversation, issuing from what seemed
|
|||
|
|
290 to be some kind of central structure.
|
|||
|
|
291 Urging the pegasus onward, they wound down the hill toward the waiting village
|
|||
|
|
292 below. The brilliance of the moon cast the edges of the road into sharp relief,
|
|||
|
|
293 and cast impenetrable pools of gloom at the base of stately trees edging the
|
|||
|
|
294 road. The sound of the pegasus' hooves was not the crisp clicking "chunk"
|
|||
|
|
295 we associate with a horse's hooves on pavement, rather it was a softly muffled
|
|||
|
|
296 sound like that of the tired head of a three-year old child striking a pillow.

334 -- VARIED SHADES OF GRAY --
|
|||
|
|
335 There was to be a time when two men would meet. They would not know
|
|||
|
|
336 what the other looked like, but vague descriptions were all they had to go on
|
|||
|
|
337 in order that they would someday meet. Both men had spoken on the land line for
|
|||
|
|
338 only the shortest of time, and then it was only through a mediator, the only
|
|||
|
|
339 one that knew what these two actually looked like.
|
|||
|
|
340 "I've heard of you, you know. Your reputaion precedes you." It was
|
|||
|
|
341 the darker of the two that spoke first. Darker to some, pale to others.
|
|||
|
|
342 "It has? I'm not at all surprised." The other felt that it was point-
|
|||
|
|
343 less to return the comment of having been heard of. He had learned to mind his
|
|||
|
|
344 tounge while in conversation with ones not know to him.
|
|||
|
|
345 "If you are to meet, you must decide on the place. It is up to you."
|
|||
|
|
346 The words came from the one that had arranged it all and had connected to two.
|
|||
|
|
347 Long drawn out moments passed before either one spoke, each expecting the other
|
|||
|
|
348 to take the initiative. Then the short silence was broken.
|
|||
|
|
349 "How does the city center sound to you?" It was again the darker one.
|
|||
|
|
350 "That's too easy. Yes."
|
|||
|
|
351 "Where then? Would the Francis and Martin Offices be OK?"
|
|||
|
|
352 "Yes that would be OK." Constantly did this one watch his own words.
|
|||
|
|
353 "Fine then. I've named the place, now you name the pin-point. Where?"
|
|||
|
|
354 "Again, too simple. How about the Data Processing Department, do you
|
|||
|
|
355 know where that is?"
|
|||
|
|
356 "Yes," said the dark one. "I can do that. Let's make it for ten
|
|||
|
|
357 thirty in the morning, or is that too soon?"
|
|||
|
|
358 "Make it eleven-thirty, and I'll see you tomorrow."
|
|||
|
|
359 The two then made clear a few more important points, such as what it
|
|||
|
|
360 would be that they would exchange once having met. It would be paper. It was
|
|||
|
|
361 not to be common paper for these papers held secrets to the safety of their
|
|||
|
|
362 nation, papers that would be traded to be used by others that had made this
|
|||
|
|
363 confrontation a mandate.
|
|||
|
|
364 For some reason the two never met on that day, the day they
|
|||
|
|
365 planned for with not enough detail. But noone would pay, time was not critical.
|
|||
|
|
366 Not yet.

371 Thor: I understand your hope, I as well hope it. I say that only so you
|
|||
|
|
372 will not confuse me in my following words.
|
|||
|
|
373 I do not understand how you could call say it had little to do with real-
|
|||
|
|
374 ity. One level, perhaps. For the samurai warrior dwels in quite different
|
|||
|
|
375 reality. It is not quite "human". But, could hardly be called "animal" either.
|
|||
|
|
376 Stripped of there emotions, it is an art. Yes, a deadly one. One that brings
|
|||
|
|
377 a sensation of disgust to our thoughts. But, the art is reality. For the
|
|||
|
|
378 samurai, as well as the ronin, deal with a very different reality than I do.
|
|||
|
|
379 They are murderers. They deal with death. I would say that is pretty real.
|
|||
|
|
380 My thoughts are stumped, when I think of what (on both a social and personal
|
|||
|
|
381 level) one's past would have to involve in order to turn it to such a course.
|
|||
|
|
382 But, then, it is our species' history. Ah, often horrid. But, I think it
|
|||
|
|
383 would follow a more individual level to make one turn to such a thing. It is
|
|||
|
|
384 that way for the samurai, I think, as well as for the ronin.
|
|||
|
|
385 Now what was said up there? Something that implied plagerism? -Tanya
|
|||
|
|
386 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
|
|||
|
|
387 . .I think, if you can understand the samurai, you can understand the ronin.
|
|||
|
|
388 He was after all, once a samurai. And, yet, we do not know why he is no
|
|||
|
|
389 longer. I wish to find out. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
|
|||
|
|
390 To the above: Sir, I fear that you are somewhat confused. A Ronin was merely
|
|||
|
|
391 a masterless samurai. They often took to banditry. The person in the story
|
|||
|
|
392 is obviously a NINJA. A quite different type of person. Samurai are best known as
|
|||
|
|
393 warriors. Ninja are spies & assassins.

421 Thor: Your wish for such methods of killing to be forgotten is noble, but is,
|
|||
|
|
422 as you said of the method, not likely to happen in reality. It would, however,
|
|||
|
|
423 be a better world if all thought like you and Tanya.

425 Student: Yes, as a matter of fact, I have read The Sunset Warrior Trilogy lately.
|
|||
|
|
426 Even within the last year. I enjoyed them thoroughly.
|
|||
|
|
427
|
|||
|
|
428 Leonard: You are absolutely correct on all accounts. Ronin is simply a word of
|
|||
|
|
429 the Japanese language meaning 'masterless warrior'. Whether or not he was at one
|
|||
|
|
430 time or another a samurai is an independant matter.
|
|||
|
|
431 As for the person in the story, I tend to agree that he must be a Ninja. He
|
|||
|
|
432 certainly does not fit the traditional description of a samurai or ronin.
|
|||
|
|
433 Perhaps time will tell.

482 Petrov gazed out the window. The gentle scent of fresh cut grass heralded
|

|
|
483 the coming of Spring. The sunshine taunted Petrov, who had been in hiding since
|
|||
|
|
484 fleeing from Joshua and L'homme. The longing to enjoy the warm weather reminded
|
|||
|
|
485 him of the feeling he got when studying for finalls during Springtime.

498 RONIN:Please do not be offended, I was very much pleased with your story line.
|
|||
|
|
499 I was just tired and rambling over old and thought forgotten memories. I am
|
|||
|
|
500 not usually a critizer of anyones writing and I apologize if I offended. The
|
|||
|
|
501 method that you described of killing with a knife was not in line with the
|
|||
|
|
502 direct teachings of assassins. I was only describing (too descriptively) the
|
|||
|
|
503 method used by not only warriors but also soldiers. If one cuts the throat of
|
|||
|
|
504 a victim for instance, from ear to ear, you run the chance of having him
|
|||
|
|
505 living long enough to either kill you or warn his comrades. If it is an instant
|
|||
|
|
506 death you are looking for then the blade must be placed into the base of
|
|||
|
|
507 the skull where the brain stem resides and controls the functions of the motor
|
|||
|
|
508 and reflex systems of the body. Enough said and again I am sorry if you thought
|
|||
|
|
509 I was being critical, please write more as you have the talent to do so.

|
514 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (the sighting)
|
|||
|
|
515 As we made our way through the field of knee high grass that seperated one
|
|||
|
|
516 clump of trees from the next, our new companion and guide motioned us to stay
|
|||
|
|
517 still. For silence to be maintained in an upright position while moving in
|
|||
|
|
518 this sun dried field was a science in itself, something I had never needed,
|
|||
|
|
519 something he had mastered. While we were forced to slow in our advance we were
|
|||
|
|
520 also afforded greater time in which to seek any foreigners in the approaching
|
|||
|
|
521 strands that were to be called trees.
|
|||
|
|
522 Five! There were five figures to be seen in woods before us. Although
|
|||
|
|
523 scarcely joined, they appeared almost to be of the same party. It was not
|
|||
|
|
524 easy to tell the individuals from the pairs. Before I was able to halt our
|
|||
|
|
525 guide, he had already drawn his bow and was in the process of knocking one of
|
|||
|
|
526 his practice arrows. Practice? This was odd, if he were to draw his bow with
|
|||
|
|
527 such haste, would it not have been for something of grave importance?
|
|||
|
|
528 "It is to be a sign. A gesture to warn the outlanders that they have come
|
|||
|
|
529 to the boundaries of our village." She was calm in saying so, but I felt that
|
|||
|
|
530 there was more to it than just that. Was she holding out on me? I thought not.
|
|||
|
|
531 Before I could even utter the words to say 'nay', the first arrow had been sent
|
|||
|
|
532 on its route to meet with the leader of the group. The whistling of the fletch
|
|||
|
|
533 was thunder in my ears. The time was now and the warning could not be revoked.

534 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ --->Nagatamen

535 Curses to the random 'bad connection' and the infamously cruel 'line hits' for
|
|||
|
|
536 they have stolen away a work that was sure to have created a new vision.

539 not aquire the same end? (Unless the one released was to be The target?)

540 ***kathyd***: You have my heartiest applause in responce to your last scribing
|
|||
|
|
541 of your bout with "Desire"! You have made me both laugh and become most
|
|||
|
|
542 still with the recognition that you have realized Desire for what it is-
|
|||
|
|
543 a thing that we must all face and deal with in our own way. How fortunate
|
|||
|
|
544 you were to have retained your escape! I, for one, wish to see more. I am

554 For lack of oxygen, I think I can just forget the from Prometheus and stuff
|
|||
|
|
555 for this entry. I lack a little too muc hoxygen right now. Lost it during a
|
|||
|
|
556 pair of long sessions in a Risk game. And after twelve hours of that, I dare
|
|||
|
|
557 anyone to have decent oxygen levels in their heads.
|
|||
|
|
558 The games were a little similar, the advocate of all the other players won.
|
|||
|
|
559 The pair of games was split between myself and the Man in Gray. Who was not
|
|||
|
|
560 playing during the second game. So I did not actually beet him.
|
|||
|
|
561
|
|||
|
|
562 Wow, are we in enter only? I guess we are, oh well, so any talk of oxygen
|
|||
|
|
563 is like, in there forever? Gee, I should have thought, but there was this itsy
|
|||
|
|
564 bitsy problem with oxygen.
|
|||
|
|
565
|
|||
|
|
566 Toward the end of any Risk game, there is such a military escalation that it
|
|||
|
|
567 just fits the exhausted players so well. Their tired minds just kind of adapt
|
|||
|
|
568 and all of a sudden they are making these jokes about death and dying. Cute.
|
|||
|
|
569 Then again, at the front of any Risk game, everyone is calm cool and trying
|
|||
|
|
570 to look collected. It is all an elaborate hoax really, but a social nescessity
|
|||
|
|
571 to psyche fellow players out. Interesting to see them go between the two at
|
|||
|
|
572 the end of one game and the start of the other.

577 the do it so well... too many times it is a bluff... so it is not considered
