21 It is difficult to explain with precision what has transpired during
|
|||
|
|
22 the last twelve odd months. Time has relatively stood still for the young
|
|||
|
|
23 Master West and his guardian in some bizzare region just outside the land
|
|||
|
|
24 known as Inisfal. Recognized aquaintances have departed and unknown
|
|||
|
|
25 others have taken their places at the gathering places, and several passed
|
|||
|
|
26 through with little recognition -- or deservance. Time for these two would
|
|||
|
|
27 slowly return to normal after having slipped for so long and the changes
|
|||
|
|
28 would be outstanding... Lord only knows they could use the warmth provided
|
|||
|
|
29 by the fire kindled by Innkeeper.

|
34 The snow fell bleakly in the silent town, white sheets of fluff that
|
|||
|
|
35 grew to become a Nebraskan winter. Becky Tomlin stood watching the sight.
|
|||
|
|
36 It was the first snow to fall this year, and it would not be the last.
|
|||
|
|
37 Becky was a special girl in that she was retarded. All of her life
|
|||
|
|
38 she never said a word, and yet always had the bright gleam of knowledge in
|
|||
|
|
39 her eye. She was a reader of thoughts, a telepath if you will. She knew it
|
|||
|
|
40 would be bad if civilization found out her abilities.
|
|||
|
|
41 Becky walked home, watching the way her feet made prints in the snow,
|
|||
|
|
42 laughing and enjoying herself. She arrived at her home, a small rural place
|
|||
|
|
43 on a farm. She lived with the animals, and interacted with society only
|
|||
|
|
44 when she had to. The feed was getting short though, and if the snow kept
|
|||
|
|
45 up, she would be caught without feed, and the animals would starve...
|
|||
|
|
46 She hopped in the beat-up station wagon, turning over the engine after
|
|||
|
|
47 four tries, and headed out into the snow. The roads were clogged with
|
|||
|
|
48 traffic, making the trip slow. She arrived into town at about 4:30. She
|
|||
|
|
49 thought she had best get home before dark, in case the snow fell hard.
|
|||
|
|
50 Chicken feed was up in price, but the trip was uneventful, except for a
|
|||
|
|
51 strange, drawing feeling, and voices in the back of her mind. It was like
|
|||
|
|
52 when she used her talent, but she wasn't using it. Maybe it was best she
|
|||
|
|
53 stayed in isolation.
|
|||
|
|
54 On the way into the country, the feeling grew stronger as the buzzing
|
|||
|
|
55 in her head grew, filling her with it's distraction. She was on the main
|
|||
|
|
56 road out, when she lost singular concious thought. She/him were driving to
|
|||
|
|
57 (or from?) town when a beat-up station wagon hit them, straight on. The
|
|||
|
|
58 impact killed both drivers instantly, neither knowing the other was a
|
|||
|
|
59 telepath...
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
61 Moral: Keep your thoughts to yourself...

|
|
73 "Now hold still Parity. This won't hurt a bit. Your friend has lost a lot
|
|||
|
|
74 of blood. How fortunate you two have the same blood type." Dr. Buchan swabbed
|
|||
|
|
75 the area on Parity's arm, and his wife injected the needle. 'Give Blood' Parity
|
|||
|
|
76 thought to himself. The needle pricked, but he did not visibly react. He
|
|||
|
|
77 clenched his fist as he had been instructed in a class at Nirvana. The red line
|
|||
|
|
78 of life traced up the tube into a small bag. The more he clenched, the more
|
|||
|
|
79 the bag filled. 'Fellows needs this' he thought, 'Fellows needs this.'
|
|||
|
|
80 Buchan and his wife went back to work on Fellows, leaving Parity in the
|
|||
|
|
81 other room. It was a room like any other room one might find in an old
|
|||
|
|
82 Western house. Filled with mementoes from a successful practice in Las Vegas,
|
|||
|
|
83 the walls and shelves contain a history of two people who had gone from
|
|||
|
|
84 humble beginnings, to relative easy living, and returned back to their roots
|
|||
|
|
85 in the desert two hours beyond the glitter and villainy of the gambling
|
|||
|
|
86 capital of the world.
|
|||
|
|
87 Parity's mind drifted has his sight blurred. 'Lost a lot of blood. How
|
|||
|
|
88 fortunate. How fortunate. How...'
|
|||
|
|
89 Parity was elsewhere. In a room, seated in a highback vinyl chair. Several
|
|||
|
|
90 aged men sat in similar chairs evenly spaced around him in a semi-circle. He
|
|||
|
|
91 looked from face to face, searching out some explanation of why he had been
|
|||
|
|
92 brought here. In the lined, character-filled faces he could find no answer.
|
|||
|
|
93 One of the faces spoke.
|
|||
|
|
94 "Explain to us N E T. NET. What does it stand for. Why do you stand with it?"
|
|||
|
|
95 Parity at first didn't understand. 'Why would they ask me questions about
|
|||
|
|
96 NET? My mission is... I can't remember...' "NET? It isn't an acronym. Well, it
|
|||
|
|
97 is and it isn't. It's..."
|
|||
|
|
98 "Irrelevant. What does it *stand* for. Listen. We ask, why NET?" The second
|
|||
|
|
99 voice looked more stern than the first.
|
|||
|
|
100 Parity swallowed hard. "NET, it's a philosophy come to fruition. Our world
|
|||
|
|
101 is rampant crime. Crime becomes organized. Government can't do an adequate job
|
|||
|
|
102 of protection. There are too many restrictions on enforcement organizations.
|
|||
|
|
103 Corporations need help. Governments need help. People need help. There exists
|
|||
|
|
104 organized crime. We are organized law."
|
|||
|
|
105 The third face. "So you set up a para-military organization, call yourselves
|
|||
|
|
106 Gods, and run unrestrained in the streets. NET makes their own rules and plays
|
|||
|
|
107 their own games. How can you defend this attitude.?"
|
|||
|
|
108 Parity knew what he was up against. He had heard some of these questions
|
|||
|
|
109 before, although never under such conditions. "NET is not god. NET has no
|
|||
|
|
110 aspirations. You can say we aren't different except in leaning from those
|
|||
|
|
111 denizens we fight. But that is a mistake. Basic philosophical differences
|
|||
|
|
112 exist between their ideology and NET's. We are not guns for hire. We don't
|
|||
|
|
113 exort money. We work for a common good. We work on the side of good. We
|
|||
|
|
114 play dirty only because that's the name of the game."
|
|||
|
|
115 "Hogwash." The fourth face's turn. "You *are* no different than the Leroy
|
|||
|
|
116 McKane's of the world. You seek global domination through power, money, and
|
|||
|
|
117 violence. You use these tools in your everyday operation because it's a normal
|
|||
|
|
118 course of action for you to shoot first and determine innocence later. What
|
|||
|
|
119 say you to these accusations Parity. Can you defend your system?"
|
|||
|
|
120 Parity paused before answering. 'This is delicate. I can't give away too
|
|||
|
|
121 much. But I must respond.' "Just one moment gentlemen. I must ponder your
|
|||
|
|
122 questions before answering."

166 What was that crap?
|
|||
|
|
167
|
|||
|
|
168 A sliver of moonlight shone upon the inn, casting a strange, almost
|
|||
|
|
169 hypnotic glow about it. The rain was coming down in sheets, drenching the
|
|||
|
|
170 realm with a gloom. A worn and weary traveller wandered in for the night,
|
|||
|
|
171 seeking repast and warmth, and found much more. He now wishes to make
|
|||
|
|
172 more of it than a shelter from the mundane nature of other places, and
|
|||
|
|
173 share this with the others, adding his light to the ones already here.
|

174 What say the natives? Care for another regular?

223 Well! What a great vacation/retreat. Let's see some more innovative
|
|||
|
|
224 stories on here. I see e71 or whoever that guys is decided to start back up
|
|||
|
|
225 a story that was, from what I can tell, absent for most of the time I was
|
|||
|
|
226 gone. Great. Just what we need -- story segments floating around like
|
|||
|
|
227 pieces of lint, trying to fall in the right place. I was never impressed
|
|||
|
|
228 with the story line much anyway (too predictable and 'regular' for this board).
|
|||
|
|
229 What ever happened to that guy that wrote the thing about the Mima Mounds
|
|||
|
|
230 or Almond Mounds or whatever it was? Maybe he is reworking it like I told
|
|||
|
|
231 him. I was told via a phone call that Storyteller also had another one,
|
|||
|
|
232 but that it was not as good as the 'Chainsaw' one. Anybody still got it?
|
|||
|
|
233 Oh ya, this KWH guy or something like that...I am not impressed. I somehow
|
|||
|
|
234 doubt the telepath one was yours (not that great anyway), and the Innkeeper
|
|||
|
|
235 line is way, way overworked on this board. Anyway, I am glad to see that
|
|||
|
|
236 Mike still has the board up when I got back. Let's see some good stories
|
|||
|
|
237 out here now...BE DIFFERENT...give us something that screams, reaches out
|
|||
|
|
238 and grabs us in sensitive areas and twists. Let's have it!!!

245 KWH: You asked for it.... What do you think of our KRITIK??? You wanted
|
|||
|
|
246 KRITIcism, you've got it now.... Although I don't really see HOW he doubts
|
|||
|
|
247 the origin of your story unless he's seen it somewhere before or he thinks
|
|||
|
|
248 it's too good. I personally liked the beginning, but it ended too abruptly.
|
|||
|
|
249 Of course that was the point. (I think) Well, LZ is about to come on 92.

253 probably couldn't stand the punishment. (Gawd! Isn't that one getting old

|

|
|
258 IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY? (NOTE KEEPER AND CCM OF LATE) NOTHING. SO DON'T
|
|||
|
|
259 EVEN BOTHER ASKING IF WE WANT YOU ON HERE. KRITIK, A GOOD REVIEW.
|

260 HOWEVER, CERTAIN THEMATICS HAVE SEEMED TO ESCAPE EVEN YOUR DISCRIMINATING EYE.

330 What a bulls**t message (editing compliments of yours truly). I think
|
|||
|
|
331 it's just short of criminal to see english torn apart so badly just to convey
|
|||
|
|
332 such a simple thought. It's a wonder how young they're learning to type these
|
|||
|
|
333 days... Oh, what weather for shroomin. Sooo intense. Almost as good as
|
|||
|
|
334 "Halucinucinucinationationationogens". Dare 'ya to find that one in ANY

335 dictionary. Well, 'yall had your chance, now you're stuck with me for awhile,

344 Commentary and discussion on the finer points of stories or entries in a
|

|
|
345 general sense should be done in personal mail. Thereby avoiding the looks of
|

|
|
346 widespread antagonism and complaints. If this practice was to be adopted and
|
|||
|
|
347 followed, this system might be less antagonizing. Kritik and the likes might

348 find the Blue Parrot well-suited to such conversations. Not to speak of just

349 being less embarrassed when criticism is particularly bad. What do you think

354 I think that you are yet another person trying to impress us with your
|
|||
|
|
355 vocabulary. Unfortunately, for you, your incomplete sentences, incorrect
|
|||
|
|
356 verb conjugations and use of plural in a single structure betray your otherwise
|
|||
|
|
357 not-so-impressive vocabulary. Seth, you are to be commended on your spelling
|
|||
|
|
358 abilities, but somehow I think all those words were looked up in a thesaurus
|
|||
|
|
359 so you could hardly spell them wrong, now could you? I'm not saying that I
|
|||
|
|
360 didn't understand what your wrote (contra-positive, I know). Quite the
|
|||
|
|
361 contrary, I understood every word. Your entry just smacks of thesaurus and in
|
|||
|
|
362 this I criticize you. I'm leaving this on BWMS to point out that I disagree
|
|||
|
|
363 with your e-mail idea.

369 oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
|

|
|
370 But the thesaurus is your friend! I wouldn't have been able to expand my
|
|||
|
|
371 vocabulary without one. Or the dictionary, it even has 'hallucinogen' but
|
|||
|
|
372 who really cares? Allow each user to speak in such a manner that allows
|
|||
|
|
373 them the best possible expression of their ideas. If you understand, great;
|
|||
|
|
374 if not, dig out the books!
|
|||
|
|
375 Seth : I agree with you to a point. A great deal of what we find on these
|
|||
|
|
376 systems has about as much forethought as a sneeze. The style on the other
|
|||
|
|
377 hand is something one may control. Sensitive matters such as How To Write
|
|||
|
|
378 as decided by others may be a brutal thing to run into. E-Mail may be one
|
|||
|
|
379 way to soften the blows, although I prefer mano-a-mano encouters, time is
|
|||
|
|
380 what I've found to be the greatest tutor. Read, learn, mold, grow; we all
|
|||
|
|
381 fugure it out after awhile.
|
|||
|
|
382 Then again, there's nothing wrong with stumbling through writing in a dither
|
|||
|
|
383 either. (I've done it here, and I think I've grown from it before. I think.)

418 Beware O ye of the world
|

|
|
419 for, watch who comes for you
|
|||
|
|
420 the unholy man - of noneathly sheen
|

|
|
421 what he is, is eyes of green
|

422 from the sea of unholy doctrain.
|

423
|

|
|
424 Watch as you shall be devoured
|
|||
|
|
425 with those seas of green.
|
|||
|
|
426 For in Hell lives the God of pain
|
|||
|
|
427 and on Earth lives the same
|
|||
|
|
428 when we all git to Hell
|
|||
|
|
429 we`ll see who you are, O man
|
|||
|
|
430 of mortal shell.
|
|||
|
|
431
|
|||
|
|
432 And then we`ll see
|

|
|
433 and my father shall soon end his
|

|
|
434 courtisy
|
|||
|
|
435 to you apon the Earth

439 who do you suppose can set free thee
|

|
|
440 Suffer as you will
|
|||
|
|
441 look not upon me
|
|||
|
|
442 I will laugh & walk the eternal path
|
|||
|
|
443 and leve you far behind and
|
|||
|
|
444 as you`ll see - Hell`s unkind..
|
|||
|

445

462 AEM: You would not have pointed out my errors on a public medium if you
|

|
|
463 understood me. The reason I entered that was to point out that entries such
|
|||
|
|
464 as yours serve not only to point out errors, but to embarrass and humiliate
|
|||
|
|
465 as well. I didn't even ask you to show me what I did wrong. That you did is
|
|||
|
|
466 cruel. To defend myself: No, I had not tried to impress you with my grammar
|
|||

467 or spelling. I tried to make myself clear. Can you claim as fine a purpose
|

|
|
468 for your entry?

471 tonight at about seven. Which is ERUDITION. Look it up. What a word it is.

478 "Imagine that!" Wilhelm took his own words to heart.
|
|||
|
|
479 His mind was possessed of sullen images. Aliens in old
|
|||
|
|
480 military uniforms, snatched from the quartermasters of doomed
|
|||
|
|
481 armies, slaughtering their way across the Continent of
|
|||
|
|
482 Europe. The very idea! It was so ridiculous he could not
|
|||
|
|
483 bring himself to imagine why the BBC was airing it. Even in
|
|||
|
|
484 their science fiction programmes.
|
|||
|
|
485
|
|||
|
|
486 Wilhelm just settled down to breakfast and spread
|
|||
|
|
487 some molasses on his muffin.
|

|
|
488
|
|||
|
|
489 Nary a man lived to see the next morning. It was quite
|

|
|
490 an absurd genocide of the human race.

536 Hi all. Haven"t seen you here in awhile, Lady S. Nice to see 'ya back,
|
|||
|
|
537 but I didn't think you had a terminal. Hmm, wonder how you got the message
|
|||
|
|
538 in? Ah well, glad to see you here.
|
|||
|
|
539 Haven't seen many good stories lately. If you didn't lioke my attempt at
|
|||
|
|
540 it, then I suggest you try, oh ye Kritic. One who criticizes should also
|
|||
|
|
541 be able to write, with the dergee of writing skill equaling the amount of
|
|||
|
|
542 Critiquing skill. We shall see what we shall see...

|
547 As a side note, backing up the cursor quickly does very strange things to
|
|||
|
|
548 screen, like making one think one just sent 40 lines of blank verse. Oh
|
|||
|
|
549 SysOp, please look into this, and find out why my terminal reacts like this
|
|||
|
|
550 to yours. Could it be that mine backs up faster than yours will allow, and
|
|||
|
|
551 sends a random ctrl character, or something else? Very frustrating. Please
|
|||
|
|
552 see what you can do about this...

563 KWH: sorry but this system is not reconfigurable to that extent. It is
|

564 tally contained in 8k of EPROM. Since there is no longer a burner available
|
|||
|
|
565 for this type, changes are impossible.
|
|||
|
|
566 Your problem is caused by the fact that what is echoed is:
|
|||
|
|
567 <backspace><space><backspace>
|
|||
|
|
568 this is to allow users of systems with non-destructive backspace to use BW.
|
|||
|
|
569 If you send you backspaces *manually* you will not encounter any problem.
|
|||
|
|
570 Using "auto-repeat" guarantees problems.
