28 Suddenly the lights blaze on to find PAM looking down on the sorry
|
|||
|
|
29 state of affairs in the old little used room. There in a jumbled pile
|
|||
|
|
30 on the floor was a mixture of broken table, chair, glass, and Tarn.
|
|||
|
|
31 Grasping his left foot and moaning, with tears streaming down his
|
|||
|
|
32 cheeks. PAM chuckles a bit at the sight knowing that more hurt was done
|
|||
|
|
33 to pride then body. Just then another patron rushes in and pushing PAM
|
|||
|
|
34 aside moves to help poor Tarn to disentangle himself from his self made
|
|||
|
|
35 trash heap. For heavens sakes she cries to PAM, "Get a decent chair!
|
|||
|
|
36 Can't you see he's hurt?" A low moan escapes Tarns lips "Emer?"
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
40 The piper smiled as the bard finished a song. Another person took the
|
|||
|
|
41 floor! A happy, smiling woman that the other patrons addressed as Pam.
|
|||
|
|
42 She seemed to be lively and bright, and brought a general air of warmth
|
|||
|
|
43 and gaity to the group.
|
|||
|
|
44
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After Pam's song, the piper turned to the apprentice:
|
|||
|
|
45 "Sir, I am certain that we are not acquannted within any other universes
|
|||
|
|
46 with which I am familiar. As myself, I am but newly formed in this universe
|
|||
|
|
47 in which we do converse. Here I represent the fusion of logic and emotion
|
|||
|
|
48 for which the person with whom I share a different identity on a different
|
|||
|
|
49 plane of existance -- has worked quite hard in the past. That person has
|
|||
|
|
50 had very limited contact with persons who participate in the activities
|
|||
|
|
51 of the SCA, to which I assume you are referring. Sorry to sound so stuffy
|
|||
|
|
52 and formal, but here, I am I, and there, I am that person. I do not wish
|
|||
|
|
53 to allow the two an indiscriminate mixing, for I would not wish to draw
|
|||
|
|
54 the attention of Mr. Owens to such an unfortunate circumstance."
|
|||
|
|
55 "However, friend apprentice, I am overejoyed to make your acquaintance,
|
|||
|
|
56 and hope that such a meeting can in time ripen into full friendship!"
|
|||
|
|
57
|
|||
|
|
58 Smiling to soften any roughness that might have confused his tounge, the
|
|||
|
|
59 piper stepped out and winded his pipes.
|
|||
|
|
60 The drones slipped into synchronization quickly this time. Hmm... thee
|
|||
|
|
61 thaa ... a quick run of the fingers...
|
|||
|
|
62 that chanter reed was about to go. Oh, well, it should last the evening.
|
|||
|
|
63 Such is a piper's lot-- much time making painful sounds while breaking
|
|||
|
|
64 a new reed in, a short life while it has become sweeet and easy to blow,
|
|||
|
|
65 and then it is blown out and useless, exept as a pattern for a new reed.
|
|||
|
|
66
|
|||
|
|
67 Slipping into a soft lament, the piper lost himself in the revery of
|
|||
|
|
68 his song.

71 ... T.P.W.E.B (cont)
|
|||
|
|
72 ... after taking a long slow drink and a scan of the gathered
|
|||
|
|
73 group, the strange bearded newcomer continued.
|
|||
|
|
74
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Nila looked around at the assembled wise men. She hadn't known
|
|||
|
|
75 there were so many. They were a little intimidating to Nila so
|
|||
|
|
76 dignified in their robes of honor and golden badges of achieve-
|
|||
|
|
77 ment. Great thinkers were there, whose names she knew with awe,
|
|||
|
|
78 though she didn't know what exactly it was they thought. There
|
|||
|
|
79 were philosophers and astrologers, mathematicians and professors,
|
|||
|
|
80 writers of fact and fancy alike. The more she considered their
|
|||
|
|
81 learned somber faces the more confused she became. She couldn't
|
|||
|
|
82 think of a question she could ask. Finally she just blurted out
|
|||
|
|
83 what was on her mind. "But why are there so many of you?", she
|
|||
|
|
84 cried.
|
|||
|
|
85
|
|||
|
|
86 At this the wise men began to confer among themselves in low
|
|||
|
|
87 voices, ignoring Nila all together. At last the oldest and wisest
|
|||
|
|
88 of them stepped forward. "Beautiful princess", he said, "the
|
|||
|
|
89 answer to your question is this. We are many because Truth is
|
|||
|
|
90 many. "But surely", Nila said, "If there is one among you who
|
|||
|
|
91 knows Truth, he alone is sufficient to instruct me. The rest
|
|||
|
|
92 of you can go home and quit standing around then." The philos-
|
|||
|
|
93 opher cleared his throat, "umm!, no my dear, you don't understand
|
|||
|
|
94 yet, you see there are many, many truths and each of these
|
|||
|
|
95 revered gentlemen is in posession of one humble part. By
|
|||
|
|
96 combining all our knowledge and wisdom perhaps you may arrive
|
|||
|
|
97 one day at Truth. Of course, he added, only after years of
|
|||
|
|
98 arduous study and calculation, correlation and confabulation.
|
|||
|
|
99
|
|||
|
|
100 Nila thought about this then shook her head sadly. "Compared to
|
|||
|
|
101 your wisdom I am ignorant indeed and I do not wish to be an
|
|||
|
|
102 obstinate princess of the kind one reads about. But I know,
|
|||
|
|
103 rising from deep within me, that the Truth I seek is not many
|
|||
|
|
104 things, but only one thing. It can't be put together from a
|
|||
|
|
105 bunch of parts like some broken toy and I do not think it can
|
|||
|
|
106 be distributed like hot buns among many men." This caused a
|
|||
|
|
107 stir among the wise men and Nila caught the ocassional flicker
|
|||
|
|
108 of a glance, sometimes thoughtful sometimes admiring as their
|
|||
|
|
109 discussion proceeded. Finally the philosopher left the group
|
|||
|
|
110 and bowed deep before Nila. "Beautiful Princess", he said,
|
|||
|
|
111 "you are more wise than any of us for your search begins where
|
|||
|
|
112 ours ends. We only ask that if you succeed you will return and
|
|||
|
|
113 instruct us. With this each of the wise men bowed deeply
|
|||
|
|
114 before Nila and left the room in ceremonious single file in
|
|||
|
|
115 order of eminence. When they had gone, Nila sat down at the
|
|||
|
|
116 foot of the throne and tears came to her eyes. However, in
|
|||
|
|
117 the natural course of events her sadness vanished completely.
|
|||
|
|
118 It was a beautiful day at the palace, as always, and she
|
|||
|
|
119 thought she might take a walk in the garden before trying to
|
|||
|
|
120 figure out what to do next. From that direction she heard a
|
|||
|
|
121 faint humming sound, like the sound of bees seeking nectar.
|
|||

|

|
|
123
|
|||
|
|
124 He shook his head and smiled. So d was in a playful mood eh? Pulling on his
|
|||
|
|
125 beard! Apparently she had forgotten that apprentices are famous for their
|
|||
|
|
126 mischevious nature. He'd have to remind her.......
|
|||
|
|
127 First, however, there was another matter to be taken care of. "Piper? I have
|
|||
|
|
128 no wish to contradict thee, but I must say that the fault was mine. It was I
|
|||
|
|
129 who first brought up the ... shall we say, the matter better left unmentioned?"
|
|||
|
|
130 He and the piper bandied the matter back and forth in a friendly manner until
|
|||
|
|
131 the piper's next set.
|
|||
|
|
132 While the piper played, the apprentice was apparently idly doodling on the
|
|||
|
|
133 table with some of his cider (spilled when his beard had been tweaked, no doubt)
|
|||
|
|
134 If any one had been paying close attention, they would have noticed that he was
|
|||
|
|
135 reciting something under his breath. The only word that was intellegible was
|
|||
|
|
136 "Maxwell".
|
|||
|
|
137 Having finished, he smiled and his eyes were focused on what appeared to be
|
|||
|
|
138 empty air. He inclined his head towards another table and his eyes appeared to
|
|||
|
|
139 be following something as it flew(?) across the room.
|
|||
|
|
140 He called the innkeeper over and slipped him some coins, with a whisper.
|
|||
|
|
141 He sat back and grinned, wondering how long it would be before d noticed that
|
|||
|
|
142 her mug was always full and always at EXACTLY the right temperature. Behind the
|
|||
|
|
143 counter, the innkeeper just shook his head with a wry grin.
|
|||
|
|
144 ................................the apprentice.................................
|
|||
|
|
145 To the worried persons: I am very careful to restrict the amount of space *I*
|
|||
|
|
146 devote to songs on a disk. I can only hope others will do likewise.
|
|||
|
|
147 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
148 I Dream of Unicorns (words: Teri Lee, music: Catherine Cook)
|
|||
|
|
149 My brothers dreamed of spaceships and fighting men from Mars.
|
|||
|
|
150 Of building giant ringworlds, and flying to the stars.
|
|||
|
|
151 But I dreamed of unicorns and centaurs sleek and wise,
|
|||
|
|
152 Pegasus, the phoenix, and cats with golden eyes.
|
|||
|
|
153
|
|||
|
|
154 But mostly I found soldiers or Conan with a mace,
|
|||
|
|
155 Robots by Asimov, and Heinlien's ships of space.
|
|||
|
|
156 But I dreamed of unicorns and centaurs sleek and wise,
|
|||
|
|
157 Pegasus, the phoenix, and cats with golden eyes.
|
|||
|
|
158
|
|||
|
|
159 I spent my childhood searching for fantasy and dreams.
|
|||
|
|
160 They told me I was foolish, but still it always seems
|
|||
|
|
161 That I dreamed of unicorns and centaurs sleek and wise,
|
|||
|
|
162 Pegasus, the phoenix, and cats with golden eyes.
|
|||
|
|
163
|
|||
|
|
164 The tales and songs I longed for weren't on the bookstore shelf.
|
|||
|
|
165 I guess they are the stories I'll have to write myself.
|
|||
|
|
166 For I dream of unicorns and centaurs sleek and wise,
|
|||
|
|
167 Pegasus, the phoenix, and cats with golden eyes.
|
|||
|
|
168 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
169 As I finish the song, I observe various reactions. Some are puzzled by the
|
|||
|
|
170 unfamiliar references. But I see that others are nodding as if in agreement.
|
|||
|
|
171 Good, it had been a risk to sing such a song here, but perhaps it will have
|
|||
|
|
172 been one worth taking.

|

|
|
175 LEONARD:
|
|||
|
|
176 Hmm...Mr Olson, huh? Don't recall anyone getting called Mr
|
|||
|
|
177 before. Wonder if that's respect, sarcasm, or a sign that I'm
|
|||
|
|
178 getting old. Whatever.
|
|||
|
|
179
|
|||
|
|
180 Sounds like JDH or McLaren. The politics of which kids get put
|
|||
|
|
181 in institutions is ridiculous. I won't ask the particulars of
|
|||
|
|
182 your experience, but I can imagine what happened. It's a
|
|||
|
|
183 strange juvenile system we've got. Not a particularly good
|
|||
|
|
184 one at that.
|
|||
|
|
185
|
|||
|
|
186 You certainly survived it admirably. You impress me as some-
|
|||
|
|
187 body whose got his head pretty well together.
|
|||
|
|
188
|
|||
|
|
189 Speaking of heads.
|
|||
|
|
190
|
|||
|
|
191 You impress me as having adopted a very rational approach to
|
|||
|
|
192 life. You often create verbal images of "insufficient data",
|
|||
|
|
193 "guidelines", and other such rational imagery. You appear to
|
|||
|
|
194 be very logical.
|
|||
|
|
195
|
|||
|
|
196 I wonder if there is a philosophical base behind
|
|||
|
|
197 rationality. What books, or thinkers, or experiences
|
|||
|
|
198 most influenced how you perceive life.
|
|||
|
|
199
|
|||
|
|
200 What do you see as the essential nature of man.?
|
|||
|
|
201 ================
|
|||
|
|
202 GENERAL:
|
|||
|
|
203 "Set goals for myself few mortals would dare". Surely you
|
|||
|
|
204 don't think I'm going to let that one go by.
|
|||
|
|
205
|
|||
|
|
206 OK, General, tell it like it is. What goals have you set,
|
|||
|
|
207 how did you accomplish them, and what is the philosophy that
|
|||
|
|
208 sustained you in these pursuits? Do you feel a sense of
|
|||
|
|
209 personal destiny? Tell us about it.
|
|||
|
|
210
|
|||
|
|
211 Your attitude towards life sounds familiar but I can't quite
|
|||
|
|
212 place it; a bit of Neitzsche perhaps?
|
|||
|
|
213
|
|||
|
|
214 Tell us more.
|
|||
|
|
215 =============
|
|||
|
|
216 Debbie:
|
|||
|
|
217 Got your note. I'll get the "Nuts To You" stuff in the mail as
|
|||
|
|
218 soon as I can. The money wasn't necessary, but thanks.
|
|||
|
|
219 ============
|
|||
|
|
220 Leonard & the General: The foundation of my own personal
|
|||
|
|
221 philosophy is the belief that it is the lopesided man who runs
|
|||
|
|
222 best on the sidehills of life. This is the philosophical
|
|||
|
|
223 principle that guides my life, as it obviously does for other
|
|||
|
|
224 patrons of the Inn.
|
|||
|
|
225 Gary
|
|||
|
|
226 P.S. - Enjoyed talking with everyone. Take it easy and enjoy
|
|||
|
|
227 life when you can.

|
|
232 IT HAS BEEN A LONG NIGHT, BUT ENJOYABLE! STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE INN,
|
|||
|
|
233 I LOOK AT THE MOON AND STARS, AND GAZE AT MY SURROUNDINGS WITH A SMALL SENSE
|
|||
|
|
234 OF LOSS. I'VE LEFT A SMALL SPRIG OF ROWAN WITH DEAR CISTOP, AND UNKNOWN TO
|
|||
|
|
235 HIM I HAVE PLANTED A ROWAN TREE BY THE ROADSIDE AS A GUIDE TO ME WHEN I NEXT
|
|||
|
|
236 RETURN.
|
|||
|
|
237
|
|||
|
|
238 AS I BEGIN THE WALK DOWN THE ROAD, I FEEL THE PRESENSE OF BHARNAE. "SO
|
|||
|
|
239 WHERE WERE YOU ALL EVENING?" I ASK, WONDERING AT THE SLIGHT SMELL OF WINE
|
|||
|
|
240 THAT ACCOMPANIES HIM.
|
|||
|
|
241 "Well, I've been in the cellar with the resident Cluricaun, a nice old
|
|||
|
|
242 elf named Moderagh." THOUGH I KNOW HE MUST HAVE IMBIBED GREATLY, THERE IS
|
|||
|
|
243 NO SLUR IN HIS SPEECH OR TREMBLE IN HIS GAIT. "We merely sampled the wares
|
|||
|
|
244 of the Innkeeper, and left some of our own in payment."
|
|||
|
|
245 "I, TOO, TOOK PART IN MORE REVELRY THAN IS NORMALLY MY WANT, AND I DID
|
|||
|
|
246 ENJOY MYSELF!" I AM LIGHT AT HEART, DESPITE KNOWLEDGE OF MY CURRENT PATH.
|
|||
|
|
247 "Yes, I heard your song. And how could I fail to notice the Rowan? Do
|
|||
|
|
248 you now not wish to travel the road you're chosen?" THERE IS SYMPATHY, AND
|
|||
|
|
249 SOME PAIN, IN HIS TONE. "Such as this can be hard for a mortal, and for a
|
|||
|
|
250 woman in particular."
|
|||
|
|
251 "NO," I ANSWER, "I'VE CHOSEN THIS PATH, AND I WILL TRAVEL IT. I MERELY
|
|||
|
|
252 THINK THAT I WILL MISS MY FRIENDS, AND THE INN. BUT I KNOW I WILL RETURN
|
|||
|
|
253 WHEN I AM DONE, AND I KNOW THAT TIR-NA-N-OG MUST BE A COMELY LAND."
|
|||
|
|
254 "It is, and you will learn much. Come, the night is growing old, and
|
|||
|
|
255 we must meet at the Faerie Hawthorn!"
|
|||
|
|
256
|
|||
|
|
257 WE WALK THE ROAD TOGETHER, AND THOUGH I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT LAY AHEAD,
|
|||
|
|
258 I THINK OF OTHERS WHO HAVE ALSO FOLLOWED THE HAWTHORN. PLEASE, DON'T LET ME
|
|||
|
|
259 LOSE TRACK OF THE PASSAGE OF TIME...

263 SIR OLSON:
|
|||
|
|
264 AS YOU KNOW, GOALS COME IN MANY FORMS, AND GROW WITH THE INDIVIDUAL.
|
|||
|
|
265 ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SMALL ONES, I RECALL THAT THESE WERE (ARE)
|
|||
|
|
266 THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. THEY GAIN IN LONGEVITY AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG.
|
|||
|
|
267 AT FIRST GLANCE, THEY MAY SEEM TRIVIAL OR FANCIFUL, BUT CONSIDER HOW
|
|||
|
|
268 MANY PEOPLE (ASIDE FROM OUR GOOD FRIENDS AT THE INN) HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
|
|||
|
|
269 THEM:
|
|||
|
|
270 *DEVELOP INTO A PERSON I CAN RESPECT, WITH NO "MIGHT HAVE BEENS"
|
|||
|
|
271 TO CLOUD THE PERSONALITY.
|
|||
|
|
272 *OBTAIN THE BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE, TO FULLY DEVELOP INNATE
|
|||
|
|
273 TALENTS AND ABILITIES, AND MINIMIZE AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WEAK
|
|||
|
|
274 SPOTS.
|
|||
|
|
275 *WORK AS HARD AS NECESSARY TO RETIRE BEFORE AGE 30.
|
|||
|
|
276 *DEVELOP AT LEAST ONE NEGLECTED TALENT TO PERSONAL SATISFACTION.
|
|||
|
|
277 *ORGANIZE, FUND, AND COMPLETE A LUNAR MINING STATION BEFORE TOO
|
|||
|
|
278 OLD TO VISIT IT.
|
|||
|
|
279 OK, THAT'S WHAT I AM DOING. HOW ABOUT YOUR GOALS, SIRRAH?

284 Marcus spent the next seven years much as a small boy would
|
|||
|
|
285 on any world. He went to classes, slept in the creche with the
|
|||
|
|
286 other children and the guardians, and played games. Only the
|
|||
|
|
287 games were changed. The older children, those who'd been
|
|||
|
|
288 initiated and had broken through the shell of their senses to
|
|||
|
|
289 become Aware, were fiercely competetive with their newly
|
|||
|
|
290 acquired senses. Their games were more like throwing darts, blind-
|
|||
|
|
291 folded, or sneaking back into the commissary without being seen
|
|||
|
|
292 or sensed by anyone. Going somewhere without being seen was a
|
|||
|
|
293 major feat on Ankira. With a whole planet full of room, Marc
|
|||
|
|
294 could never understand why they all lived in one crowded
|
|||
|
|
295 settlement.
|
|||
|
|
296 he didn't see Ben again, as he guessed it, for three or
|
|||
|
|
297 four years, until one day he appeared again in the hall as
|
|||
|
|
298 they were returning from the playgrounds.
|
|||
|
|
299 "Marc!" he called, "Is that you?" The almost adult-tal
|
|||
|
|
300 boy stopped, eyes wide with surprise.
|
|||
|
|
301 "Ben Avery! Hey, wehre've you been? I started thinking
|
|||
|
|
302 you were Watching me again or something."
|
|||
|
|
303 "No," he laughed. "those days are over. I've been on
|
|||
|
|
304 Journeyman status in the Cluster. You should have known that."
|
|||
|
|
305 "Well," Marc gestured, "it has been a long time, and you
|
|||
|
|
306 know how they keep you cooped up in here. But no matter. Tell
|
|||
|
|
307 me about Outside!"
|
|||
|
|
308 For once Ben's face lost its familiar joviality and looked
|
|||
|
|
309 pained, as if some hidden facet of his life had just emerged for a
|
|||
|
|
310 moment, then resubmerged. he looked Marc in the eyes for a moment,
|
|||
|
|
311 considering his words. This was a familiar trait with Ben, then
|
|||
|
|
312 he spoke in low tones, "They're sad and lonely and they hurt each
|
|||
|
|
313 other. They're just people."

316 Inspector Salizar rubbed his fingers across the cool, oily
|
|||
|
|
317 metal of his service revolver nervously. There had been nothing
|
|||
|
|
318 here in Marakesh, no one would talk, and then Serena had called
|
|||
|
|
319 saying she had found something, and would be at the hotel in
|
|||
|
|
320 an hour. That was three hours ago. He flicked the safety on
|
|||
|
|
321 and off repeatedly, and lowered his chair back down on all four
|
|||
|
|
322 legs. He was seated in the corner, facing the door.
|
|||
|
|
323 Suddenly, so quickly that even his trained reflexes took
|
|||
|
|
324 time to respond, the door burst almost from his hinges, the
|
|||
|
|
325 lights went out, and a burst of flame and white smoke obscured
|
|||
|
|
326 his vision. Blindly he began firing into the smoke, his
|
|||
|
|
327 nervousness taking hold as he emptied the entire clip into the
|
|||
|
|
328 dark doorway.
|
|||
|
|
329 When the smoke began to clear, all he could see was Serena's
|
|||
|
|
330 lithe form stretched out on the floor in the entrance. At the sound
|
|||
|
|
331 of an ominous 'snick' from behind, he turned suddenly. Barely
|
|||
|
|
332 silhouetted by the dark outside, a black, robed figure stood before
|
|||
|
|
333 the open window, a long, dark sword emerging from its sheath like
|
|||
|
|
334 a living, hungry thing....

|
338 He had been following this roughhewn forgotten path since dawn.
|
|||
|
|
339 Its ceaseless lacing back and forth across the spine of this craggy peak
|
|||
|
|
340 had tired the sailor. He paused to quench thirst and reflect on his journey
|
|||
|
|
341 ....He had followed the instructions that the parchment had offered...and
|
|||
|
|
342 the map he had discovered was as accurate as any pilot chart he had ever
|
|||
|
|
343 seen. He had followed the stream and never, for a moment, let it from his sight
|
|||
|
|
344 for that phrase he had read still rang strong in his ears........
|
|||
|
|
345 "Mark well the streams passage. The answers only it will provide. "
|
|||
|
|
346 "Follow it until the gorge and their thy path will lie"
|
|||
|
|
347 He had reached the gorge the day before and had swam in a languid pool at
|
|||
|
|
348 its base. It had been there that he had found the lace ....another gift from
|
|||
|
|
349 the stream ....As he walked from the pool holding the damp fabric he discovered
|
|||
|
|
350 a much overgrown staircase that lead from the pool to the side cliffs.
|
|||
|
|
351
|
|||
|
|
352 .....Taking another swallow of his water he put his flask into his rucksack.
|
|||
|
|
353 Leaning on his staff he massaged his knee and admired the rowans fine carving.
|
|||
|
|
354 How fortunate he had been. With a sigh he started walking ...letting
|
|||
|
|
355 his strides become regular....He knew the top was near.....
|
|||
|
|
356 ......
|
|||
|
|
357 ..........After many hours travel and the sun low in the sky...He reached a
|
|||
|
|
358 landing . From there the path lead downwards. He decided to camp there for the
|
|||
|
|
359 night. To the east he could see the streams course through the trees....
|
|||
|
|
360 as it made its way defiantly to the sea....
|
|||
|
|
361 And at his feet ...the gorge...to the west ...following the gorges path it
|
|||
|
|
362 seemed that stream again joined the surface.... and hidden from sight behind a
|
|||
|
|
363 bend in the stream ..Was what looked like a whisp of smoke....rising above the
|
|||
|
|
364 trees.....Another travler he thought...
|
|||
|
|
365 ..And just before the turn in the stream...a bridge....How odd he mused .
|
|||
|
|
366 Taking his rucksack off. And sitting with his back to the cliff. He closed
|
|||
|
|
367 his eyes ...for a moment..and let his mind drift......Softly the sonorous and
|
|||
|
|
368 plaintive chords of the pipes entered his mind and he began to sleep........

380 Pushing away from the desk in his office in the city, he pauses for
|
|||
|
|
381 a moment to think about dear Pam. He feels she must have missed
|
|||
|
|
382 the note he left on the table a day or so ago. He fels a sadness, as ~
|
|||
|
|
383 he did not get the chance to tell her what had happenned.
|
|||
|
|
384 He winces at the thought that she might think his establishment
|
|||
|
|
385 closed forever, when it is in fact being merely remodeled, with
|
|||
|
|
386 new tables and fine services installed for all of the patrons.
|
|||
|
|
387 He opens a drawer and looks inside, just making sure it is still
|
|||
|
|
388 there. He sees the disk of wonderful and wise utilities and programs
|
|||
|
|
389 is resting quite so, waiting for a place to go and be useful. Ah, fair

390 Ms. C. You have done me a disservice in being frightened of me. I

393 Oh well. Perhaps she will want it when she returns.

420 Ah, the dear inspector was rattled indeed if he fired a full CLIP from his
|
|||
|
|
421 REVOLVER! I don't mean to gritch, but please be more careful. I am careful about
|
|||
|
|
422 what *I* do and do not put into my "on-line fiction". I have referred to magic,
|
|||
|
|
423 but I also made sure I followed accepted practice and procedures. (I know some
|
|||
|
|
424 people who practice various forms of magic.) I don't know if it "really" works,
|
|||
|
|
425 but I treat it as if it does. I even consult various references.
|
|||
|
|
426 I must also add that I have some familiarity with some forms of martial arts &
|
|||
|
|
427 with some things oriental. Your ninja should have a Japanese name, NOT a Chinese
|
|||
|
|
428 (Bad Chinese, at that).
|
|||
|
|
429 I'm impressed with your characters and writing, so I am leaving this msg.
|
|||
|
|
430 Not to rake you over the coals, but in hopes that you will become even better!

|
432 Gary: I'm not really sure where I got my principles, etc. I have read Heinlein's
|
|||
|
|
433 books (and Norton's, and...). Almost all the philosophy I have read was "sugar-
|
|||
|
|
434 coated" in one SF novel or another.
|
|||
|
|
435 I've made mistakes all right. Hoo boy, have I! I've learned from most though. I
|
|||
|
|
436 do have some unusual spots in my background though. I'm single (never married)
|
|||
|
|
437 yet I've helped raise a kid. I learned QUITE a bit from that. I don't think I
|
|||
|
|
438 made as many mistakes as my mother did, but only time will tell.
|
|||
|
|
439 Actually, most children seem to start out being logical & then the adults
|
|||
|
|
440 confuse them. Most of the "silly" ideas that I've heard from kids (Patrick, &
|
|||
|
|
441 several others I used to babysit for extended periods) are just logical
|
|||
|
|
442 deductions or inferences based on insufficient data. If adults keep going "where
|
|||
|
|
443 did you get that silly idea" instead of talking to the child & explaining where
|
|||
|
|
444 he went wrong, it won't take long for the child to decide that logic doesn't
|
|||
|
|
445 work in the adult world (sometimes I think they are right, but that's a
|
|||
|
|
446 different topic).
|
|||
|
|
447 Rule #1 for dealing with a kid. Do NOT treat any child who is old enough to
|
|||
|
|
448 talk in a manner that YOU would not wish to be treated. At the same time be
|
|||
|
|
449 ready to treat HIM the way he treats you and others occasionally.
|
|||
|
|
450 (the first insures that you will treat him as a PERSON. The second insures that
|
|||
|
|
451 he will treat others as persons.)
|
|||
|
|
452 My talk of "insufficient data" and guidelines stems from personal observations.
|
|||
|
|
453 It's too easy to pigeon-hole people -- in the WRONG hole! As an example, when I
|
|||
|
|
454 was in the 4th grade I was tested. They were trying to decide whether I should
|
|||
|
|
455 skip a grade or not. The final decision was: No, he might not get along with the
|
|||
|
|
456 older kids. Unfortunately, they never stopped to consider whether or not I got
|
|||
|
|
457 along with my "peer" group!

460 A shrill whistle echos thru the Inn causing the patrons to hastily
|
|||
|
|
461 cover their ears and glare at this person who would disturbe them so.
|
|||
|
|
462 Emer who was so bold to try to garner the Inn keepers attention
|
|||
|
|
463 thus then looked around for surly he would be on duty at this hour.
|
|||
|
|
464 Yet he was nowhere to be found. So she must accept having her thrist
|
|||
|
|
465 slaked thru the service of PAM instead for now. "Where has the dear
|
|||
|
|
466 Innkeeper gone off to now?" She asks of PAM. "Duty calls, and I'm
|
|||
|
|
467 afraid he will be late again tonight. Leaving me to run things while
|
|||
|
|
468 he's gone. He damn well better pay me overtime this time!" She mutters
|
|||
|
|
469 under her breath as she moves to serve another waiting patron.
|
|||
|
|
470 With that Emer leans back on her chair balancing it on the two rear
|
|||
|
|
471 legs and enjoys the atmosphere of the Inn.
|
|||
|
|
472 Far away a figure trudges on towards the Inn his black cloak wrapped
|
|||
|
|
473 tightly around him to ward off the chill of the night. Though the
|
|||
|
|
474 distance had seemed short before, now it was an endless eternity to
|
|||
|
|
475 travel. He must hurry to reach the Inn for fear of missing his new
|
|||
|
|
476 found friend Emer, and the minutes seem like hours, every stone an
|
|||
|
|
477 obstruction to his path. Though the time is late he hurries on.

|
|||
|
|
497 of an empty chamber seemed to fill the room. He pulled the trigger
|
|||
|
|
498 once more just to be sure, or out of reflex, hope. Same click. The
|
|||
|
|
499 dark figure advanced slowly, seeming to take pleasure from Salizar's
|

|
|
500 helplessness. Then the light from the open entrance was suddenly
|
|||
|
|
501 blocked, and a voice rang through the room.
|

|
|
502 "Salizar, down!" the man yelled. Alberto sprang backwards and
|
|||
|
|
503 turned simultaneously, only glimpsing the tall blocky figure raising
|
|||
|
|
504 an Uzi into firing position. The act seemed to flow in slow motion
|
|||
|
|
505 as the gun barrel raised, and then steadied as the Inspector reached
|
|||
|
|
506 the floor. But the gun never fired. Just as he steadied himself,
|
|||
|
|
507 two small daggers seemed to appear in his arms, and he spun, fell.
|

508 Salizar had just enough time to see the Ninja raise that sword for

545 The evening is long, as is my patience. I know that Tarn will arrive
|
|||
|
|
546 for our scheduled appointment, will come sometime during the long eve, and I
|
|||
|
|
547 will continue to search for him between pulls at my glass. Perhaps by the end
|
|||
|
|
548 of the night he will come, but will I be in any condition to speak to him by
|
|||
|
|
549 then? This wine is strange to me, with an odd but lovely flavor. I have never
|
|||
|
|
550 had its like. I wonder if there is any more, this bottle is empty. Where is
|
|||
|
|
551 Pam? Was that her leaving?
|
|||
|
|
552 Ah, Pam! More of this wine please!

556 Over in the corner, behind a post, where it is usually very quiet, where the
|
|||
|
|
557 lurkers often sit, a large bearded journeyman looks up from his work and calls
|
|||
|
|
558 for a refill of the dark sweet beverage he has been sipping. After muttering
|
|||
|
|
559 something about "the real ting" (sic) he rises and walks over to the Piper.
|
|||
|
|
560 "I beg your pardon for this interuption but I could not fail to hear what you
|
|||
|
|
561 and the other said. Your words raise old memories better left dead, but I fear
|
|||
|
|
562 that they will not sleep again." the Piper nodded and asked him to continue.
|
|||
|
|
563 "I am now known by a name which is a jest of matters technical (a disturbance on
|
|||
|
|
564 the 67 line of a machine that processes information), but once I was called
|
|||
|
|
565 Yngvi, and sometimes crazy. When last this subject was discussed, the world
|
|||
|
|
566 went from gunpowder to wooden clubs in three seasons. if we must do this again,
|
|||
|
|
567 I point out that Nuclear Weapons may act as a reminder of our folly.
|
|||
|
|
568 If you have the courage, Piper, and think we may benifit from the wisdom of
|
|||
|
|
569 the young ones who know not the passions of their fathers, write the words
|
|||
|
|
570 that all agreed where correct on the slate on yonder wall."
|
|||
|
|
571 With this the bearded one once known as Yngvi, that some once called crazy,
|
|||
|
|
572 returned to his place to sip the sweet, dark liquid.

576 Pam was halfway through her belated breakfast when the idea came to her mind.
|
|||
|
|
577 Although she knew operational characteristic as well as she knew her own
|
|||
|
|
578 body, it seemed strange to her to see the semiconductor protruding from her
|
|||
|
|
579 navel. She thought about it for a while and then finished her meal. After
|
|||
|
|
580 all she was just a women.

584 Rushing towards the Inn, for now he was very late, Tarn flings open the
|
|||
|
|
585 door striking a patron who was standing too close, learning the leason the
|
|||
|
|
586 hard way about hanging around too close to the door in a public place.
|
|||
|
|
587 Muttering his appology, Tarn seemed little interested in the poor patrons
|
|||
|
|
588 plight other then that he was not seriously hurt. Searching the tables
|
|||
|
|
589 Tarn begins to worry, "Have I arrived too late?"

|

|
|
593 In the wee hours of the morning while speaking to Emer of
|
|||
|
|
594 many things past shared and otherwise, Tarn felt himself growing
|
|||
|
|
595 sleepy and before he knew it he soon was fast asleep with his
|
|||
|
|
596 head in his arms. A smile played across his face in a sleep that
|
|||
|
|
597 for the first time in ages was not troubled. Looking upon Tarn
|
|||
|
|
598 with a kindly gaze, Emer pulled Tarns cloak over his shoulders,
|
|||
|
|
599 Then lightly Kissing him on the forehead quitly slips out of the
|
|||
|
|
600 Inn into the still night air. A smile on her own face.

604 It seems that either Pam is sleeping on the job, or has left the Inn
|
|||
|
|
605 for a while. I guess this table will have to be cleaned by someone else.
