|
||
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...
|
||
60
|
||
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

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.
|
||
250 (Yes people I like rock (old rock anyway)) And you KNOW I wouldn't miss that
|
||
251 for anything. To pun or not to pun..... Probably not, I don't want to submit
|
||
252 the people here with them although some (most) are good ones. Besides, they
|
||
253 probably couldn't stand the punishment. (Gawd! Isn't that one getting old
|
||
254 already??) Ahh, there it is, gotta run, haven't heard that in a while...

259 EVEN BOTHER ASKING IF WE WANT YOU ON HERE. KRITIK, A GOOD REVIEW.

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

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

|

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.

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;

|

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

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
|
||
436 O cattle of virtually no worth.
|
||
437
|
||
438 I suffer not, I am unchained & free
|
||
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
|

|

447 what has guieded me & what I mean

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

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.

|

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...
