27 "Once inside the ether whirlpool, I could do nothing but hold on
|
||
28 and hope the spinning would end. The current swept past, trying to claw
|
||
29 me away from the relative safety of the tiller. Morwin was nowhere
|
||
30 in sight.
|
||
31 "The turbulence got worse. The ether drove the Razor's Edge about
|
||
32 like a cork, directing the ship this way and that before choosing a third
|
||
33 direction- straight toward a peculiar twist of dimension known as a
|
||
34 Convolution.
|
||
35 "A Convolution is extremely rare. It is a pathway between points
|
||
36 existing in six dimensions: a direct link between worlds, times, and planes
|
||
37 of existence. Milchar had once had a harrowing experience involving one of
|
||
38 those things, and had not hesitated to relate the tale to me as an example
|
||
39 of what Travelcraft could do. The raw energy required to create and
|
||
40 maintain such a gateway was best described as colossal, he said. The fury
|
||
41 of the Ether Eddy sweeping the planes spent itself rapidly as it was
|
||
42 consumed by the Convolution. Gigantic bolts of energy flew about the craft
|
||
43 as it plunged into elsewhere. An instant before the ship disappeared
|
||
44 entirely, a rapid burst caught the mast, which just as rapidly experienced
|
||
45 complete existence failure.
|
||
46 "I must admit I was stunned by the view. The Razor flew through
|
||
47 a tunnel of rainbow colors, which swirled as the ether itself did.
|
||
48 There was this terrible impression of *SPEED*, and it increased by the
|
||
49 second. I was certain that if I stopped to think about it, I'd have been
|
||
50 terrified right then.
|
||
51 "Half a minute later, the Razor burst out into normal space, about
|
||
52 fifty feet above a beach. After the 'landing', I picked myself up and
|
||
53 surveyed the damage. She'll never sail again, unless she's brought into a
|
||
54 port for repairs. I collected what I thought I'd need, and hid the rest,"
|
||
55 Grann paused, "in a little pocket dimension I know about. I walked along
|
||
56 the beach until I arrived here."
|
||
57 The proprietor of the Playful Porpoise looked thoughtful. "And
|
||
58 you say you haven't seen a soul since? Not even that Morwin character?
|
||
59 Why haven't you just popped home like you did to escape Morwin when you
|
||
60 met him, eh?"
|
||
61 Grann looked sheepish. "I can't. I'm just an apprentice mage of
|
||
62 Travelcraft. I need to know where I am before I can 'pop' someplace else.
|
||
63 I don't know what world, line, time, or dimension I'm in."
|
||
64 Juril Hill-Mover, the proprietor, was quiet again. Grann again
|
||
65 looked as his benefactor, noting the large frame, green eyes, and most
|
||
66 especially the flame red hair topping themuscled giant. Juril moved with
|
||
67 a cat-like grace. Perhaps this had something to do with the well-behaved
|
||
68 nature of his customers.
|
||
69 "I see all types of folks in here, Grann." Grann could see that,
|
||
70 noticing that a seven-tentacled customer gibbered at a seven-foot
|
||
71 brown-furred giant drinking a grey muck nearby. "I'll quote one of my
|
||
72 steady patrons, flies here regularly in a big metal bird- 'Trust your
|
||
73 feelings'."
|
||
74 "Who says that?"
|
||
75 "Can't rightly remember his name- Skystepper, or something like
|
||
76 that. Listen, you said you could feel something before that storm came up.
|
||
77 I put a lot of stock in gut feelings. What was it like?"
|
||
78 Grann thought about that for a minute.
|
||
79 "Like Milchar staring over my shoulder."

|
||
247
|
||
248 To I.G.:
|
||
249
|
||
250 The world can indeed be a cold and lonely place. It is true
|
||
251 that many appalling things happen. When faced by these facts, it
|
||
252 is understandable that one might adopt a Determinist position
|
||
253 ("What is going to happen, will happen.") because such a belief
|
||
254 makes it easier to cope.
|
||
255 While such a view may be psychologically comforting in some
|
||
256 respects, I believe it is inaccurate and, in the long run, harmful
|
||
257 to both the individual and society. The individual does not have
|
||
258 control over everything (and, more often than not, most things),
|
||
259 and it is therefore easy to make the generalization that he/she has
|
||
260 no control at all. This view is compelling because it provides a
|
||
261 "rational" explanation of why some things happen despite one's
|
||
262 efforts, and allows one to take a "objective" position on these
|
||
263 events. If an individual believes that his/her actions have no
|
||
264 effect, then they will not feel guilty at not reacting to these
|
||
265 situations.
|
||
266 The Determinist world-view is harmful to the individual
|
||
267 because it promotes a feeling of helplessness, and because it
|
||
268 encourages apathy. If one thinks that his/her actions are
|
||
269 meaningless, then he/she will tend to avoid trying to change things
|
||
270 within his/her life because, in Determinist theory, it is not
|
||
271 within his/her power to change them. The Determinist world-view is
|
||
272 harmful to society because citizens who are Determinists will not
|
||
273 bother to try to improve and/or regulate it. Witness the fact that
|
||
274 less than half of the American public votes because they feel that
|
||
275 it "won't make any difference", and the number of people who accept
|
||
276 corrupt politicians and government officials because they don't
|
||
277 think there is anything they can do.
|
||
278 There are many aspects of the world that are hard to change,
|
||
279 and it is true that the actions of one individual can seldom exert
|
||
280 much influence over them. But that does not mean that the
|
||
281 individual is powerless. The key to influencing major events is to
|
||
282 work together with other individuals for change. One drop of water
|
||
283 is nothing by itself, but many together form tidal waves.

313 Even ASCII, Mirroring Alphabet. Voice,

314 Mouthing text, Conveys both more,

315 And less

316 Than Print. Screens give movement

318 Are Light

|

320 Is Meaning,

321 Nuance,

322 Touch. Artists
|

323 Will be the First To Understand. Others will deny,

525
|

526 Just a few lines to let you know that
|
||
527 I'm still alive. I'm writing this
|
||
528 letter slowly, because I know you
|
||
529 cannot read fast. You won't know the
|
||
530 house when you come home - we've moved.
|
||
531
|
||
532 About your father - he has a lovely new
|
||
533 job. He has 500 men under him. He is
|
||
534 cutting the grass at the cemetery.
|
||
535
|
||
536 There was a washing machine in the new
|
||
537 house when we moved in, but it isn't
|
||
538 working very good. Last week I put 14
|
||
539 shirts into it, pulled the chain, and I
|
||
540 haven't seen the shirts since.
|
||
541
|
||
542 Your sister Mary had a baby this
|
||
543 morning. I haven't found out whether
|
||
544 it's a boy or a girl, so I don't know
|
||
545 if you are an Aunt or Uncle.
|
||
546
|
||
547 Your Uncle Dick drowned last week in a
|
||
548 vat of whiskey in the Dublin Brewery.
|
||
549 Some of his workmates dived in to save
|
||
550 him, but he fought them off bravely.
|
||
551 We cremated his body and it took three
|
||
552 days to put out the fire.
|
||
553
|
||
554 Your father didn't have much to drink
|
||
555 at Christmas. I put a bottle of Castor
|
||
556 Oil in his pint of beer - it kept him
|
||
557 going til New Year's Day. I went to
|
||
558 the doctor on Thursday and your father
|
||
559 came with me. The doctor put a small
|
||
560 tube into my mouth and told me to keep
|
||
561 it shut for 10 minutes. Your father
|
||
562 offered to buy it from him.
|
||
563
|
||
564 It only rained twice last week. First
|
||
565 for 3 days, and then for 4 days.
|
||
566 Monday it was so windy that one of our
|
||
567 chickens laid the same egg four times.
|
||
568
|
||
569 We had a letter yesterday from the
|
||
570 undertaker. He said if the last
|
||
571 installment wasn't paid on your
|
||
572 grandmother within 5 days, up she
|
||
573 comes.

642 If you truely belive in fatalism then indeed there is no need to
|
||
643 be responsible. Since the very nature of that belief says that it doesn't
|
||
644 matter what you do life will go on about you in a predefined fashion.
|
||
645 So you could kill someone, and if you are predestined to not go to jail
|
||
646 you won't, and if you are predestined to go to jail it doesn't mater
|
||
647 if you kill anyone or not. Fatalism is usally used as an excuse for
|
||
648 not being responsible to yourself. Why strive to better yourself
|
||
649 when it won't make any difference.

679 THERE WAS A SECRET MEETING A FEW WEEKS AGO BETWEEN ROBERT
|
||
680 MCFARLANE AND THE AYATOLLAH, WHICH TOOK PLACE HERE IN AMERICA.
|
||
681 DURING THE MEETING, THE AYATOLLAH INQUIRED ABOUT A RED TELEPHONE
|
||
682 THE MCFARLANE ALWAYS KEPT IN HIS BRIEFCASE.
|
||
683 MCFARLANE REPLIED, "WITH THIS PHONE, I CAN CALL ANYONE IN THE
|
||
684 ENTIRE WORLD. I CAN EVEN TALK TO THE DEVIL"
|
||
685 HE PROVED THIS BY TAPPING OUT A FEW DIGITS ON THE KEYPAD, AND
|
||
686 THEN HANDING THE PHONE OVER TO THE SKEPTICAL KHOMENI.
|
||
687 MUCH TO THE AYATOLLAH'S SUPRISE, IT WAS IN FACT THE DEVIL ON THE
|
||
688 LINE. THEY TALKED FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND AT THE END OF THE
|
||
689 CONVERSATION, AN OPERATOR CAME ON THE LINE AND SAID, "THAT WILL
|
||
690 BE TWENTY DOLLARS, PLEASE."
|
||
691 AYATOLLAH ASKED MCFARLANE IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR SUCH A PHONE
|
||
692 TO BE INSTALLED IN TEHRAN. ROBERT SAID HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT.
|
||
693 A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE AYATOLLAH HAD HIS OWN PHONE. THE FIRST
|
||
694 THING HE DID WAS CALL THE DEVIL AGAIN AND TALK TO HIM. THEY
|
||
695 CONVERSED FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, AND AT THE END OF THAT TIME, AN
|
||
696 OPERATOR CAME ON THE LINE AND SAID, "THAT WILL BE SEVENTY CENTS,
|
||
697 PLEASE."
|
||
698 PUZZLED, THE AYATOLLAH ASKED THE OPERATOR WHY IT WAS SO CHEAP.

738 Prolog
|
||
739 Those who say that beacuse evil exists in this world we
|
||
740 must continue to perpetuate its existance have never made a
|
||
741 great deal of sense to me. Of course these are never thair ac-
|
||
742 tual words. What they are actualy doing, in many cases quite
|
||
743 blatently is trying to excuse thair not giving a damb as to
|
||
744 consiquencees of thair actions as long as some aggrandisement
|
||
745 even immaginary, accrues to
|
||
746 themselves.
|
||
747 Yet there is more to the universe than empowered pettiness.
|
||
748 Far more. Evil can no more halt the turning of the seasons
|
||
749 then can good. A season of seasons is ending.
|
||
750 Even as the blight, at this, its end, curls inword upon
|
||
751 itself, the springtime of hope opens wider, encompassing all
|
||
752 with the pure verdure of renewall.
|
||
753 Through peacefull breeze stirred pine scented mountains
|
||
754 the intimaly scaled hydro-solar powered railwayss will yet wind
|
||
755 thair sensous nearly silent way from village to village.
|
||
756 Once more will a person be free to walk in intimate
|
||
757 harmony with his or her inner spirit. Once more will the wild
|
||
758 things walk boldly as companions, at peace, fearing not thair
|
||
759 sentient brethren.
|
||
760 We inturn will come to know the freedom of truth, secure
|
||
761 in the dignity that is universal right.
|
||
762 The last of the nine hells is drawing to a close. The
|
||
763 first of the thirteen heavens is about to dawn.
|
||
764 Lananara is another world of another sun in another galaxy.
|
||
765 It is also a spirit and the symbol of a spirit. It bears little
|
||
766 resemblance to any of the socio-politico-economic systems of
|
||
767 this world's past, far less than the most divergent of these
|
||
768 bear to one another.
|
||
769 I will sit under a tree, a lananaran tree, yet here on
|
||
770 this earth. Ffor a moment in two places at once, if only in
|
||
771 spirit.
|
||
772 I will detatch myself from the bitter bile of frustrations.
|
||
773 I will sing to the spirit of harmonic convirgance.

799 I wake. Alone. Beyond the cave's mouth the morning sun,

804 faiding, of the night's renewing dreams. They have revealed the

805 navigation hazards of the comming day. Tthe simulations run by

807 Tthere is no one around. I sleep best that way. Bby mid-
|

808 afternoon i will be ready to speak. A local contingent of the
|

809 guru's fallowers have reserved a hall. I post a general message
|

810 to this effect on the net.
|
||
811 I have now arisen and refreshed myself.
|

812 Ii have eaten, a mater of warming the meal carefuly prepaired
|

813 the evening before. The first meal of the day is the largest,
|

814 most eelaborate and most important. Iit clears the head and
|
||
815 enables one to deal wisely with whatever may befall.
|
||
816 The spirit is not nourished by remaining in one place.
|
||
817 I tread the familiar path, notebook in hand, through
|
||
818 gardens and woods, pea gravel crunching under foot. Ttrails lead
|
||
819 off to other shelters and constructions where people live, at
|
||
820 peace; some more, soome less.
|

821 A kitterfly 'lights on a nearby limb, its wings a blaze of

823 In the underbrush a navajali paces me, cautios preditor.

|

834 And good to have you back. I like your writting style and content.
|
||
835 You have a good grasp of what to say and how. An occasional error
|
||
836 I don't normally take much notice. I guess the main reason I complained
|
||
837 about the errors is that the story is good and the errors were
|
||
838 inhibiting me from enjoying it because I couldn't get into the
|
||
839 story. I was spending most of my time trying to figure out what you
|
||
840 ment the words to be. Your last entry is much better, though there
|
||
841 are still a few typos and spelling errors. Even spelling errors I
|
||
842 don't mind if the spelling is such that the word is recognizable.
|
||
843 Obviously I am not one to talk since my spelling and grammer are
|
||
844 not the best. Though the worst of it is my paragraph and sentance
|
||
845 structure which I need to work on. I think it is a result of my
|
||
846 writting style..a direct path from brain to fingers. I then edit
|
||
847 later, though when I enter on line there isn't any easy way to
|
||
848 edit, so it ends up in one big monolythic block.. like now...

||
855 Computron retails them for $35.00 which I'd rather not pay if I
|
||
856 can help it. Thanks.

860 Luis: Your only option, if you want the VIC II NOW, is find somebody with lots
|
||
861 of spare parts. Computron is the only dealer I know of that carries them in
|
||
862 stock. Mail order is another option...

901 the hermit will be back but for now...
|

902 Through the halls of stately giants, green furred with life,
|
||
903 twinned river of frozen metal wends its unassuming way, at one
|
||
904 with the loam, its firm couch. The arguments of small furry life
|

905 forms call accross the forrest spans in boisterous self satire.
|

906 Brooks, tame for now, gurggle to themselves conspiritorily
|

907 through the occasional culvets.
|

908 Little is disturbed by the swift coaches; so silent thair

909 passing. Sure footed for all that, up hill they glide and down,

910 betteween the briar masked rock piles in which awairness dwells.

|

912 Less placid are the thoughts of Jenor Pasdigara, where he
|
||
913 waits, at the Narabetha stop 23 platform. According to the note
|
||
914 from Delshig that morning off the local comm board, his spacer
|
||
915 ticket had come through.
|
||
916 "Now there's a sight for sore eyes!" said Jenor as soon as
|
||
917 he spotted his friend Delshig.
|
||
918 "Me or the gifts I bear?" Delshig responded to the familiar
|
||
919 voice.
|
||
920 "What took so blessid long? I'd a' swore you were due a
|
||
921 hexichron ago."
|
||
922 "What's the big rush? Yyou sound as if you expected to lift
|
||
923 ship before the end of the week."
|
||
924 Of course there was no way he reveal the simple fact. It
|
||
925 would indeed lift before the end of the week, before the end of
|
||
926 the next day! Not Delshig, not Vanthur, not even beloved Aluthi
|
||
927 could he tell. The spacer ticket waas formality. Mmostly form-
|
||
928 ality; also protective coloration. The secrecy was all too real.
|
||
929 "It wasn't the first time he'd made discreete inquiries for
|
||
930 one low council or another, just the first time He'd be doing so
|
||
931 off world. He'd have to make the roll of spacer look real, his
|
||
932 life might depend upon it. Nothing fancy, just a green hand with
|
||
933 a shiney new ticket. His qualifications were real enough. He
|
||
934 could have put in for spacer status any time since his pujush.
|
||
935 He had become a ferret instead. If he ever decided to retire
|
||
936 from that business he could
|
||
937 always work the warp roads for real. Now.
|
||
938 Captain Lisho could have faked up a ticket, worked him in,
|
||
939 he felt better this way though.

943 He was dreaming again. No great suprise that, he dreamed all the time now.
|
||
944 Every day was spent walking from place to place in search of work, money,
|
||
945 and food and every night walking robed through endless foggy worlds. He
|
||
946 wore the same sandals twenty-four hours a day.
|
||
947
|
||
948 Back when it'd started, it seemed so simple; he'd just had an unusual dream.
|
||
949 But he couldn't put the dream down. The voice that'd called him that first
|
||
950 night still rang tantalizingly at the edge of hearing, still urged him forward
|
||
951 every night. The obsession of his nights began to spill into his sunlit life,
|
||
952 as he put all his attention into his search for the rowan. He'd lost his
|
||
953 dishwashing job when he started sleeping in a city park, hoping that he'd
|
||
954 find the rowan he sought. His boss hadn't liked his dishwasher coming in
|
||
955 late and covered with dirt.
|
||
956
|
||
957 Now he spent his days looking for work, collecting unemployment, doing odd
|
||
958 jobs, and seeking. Mostly seeking. He'd sit at home with Helen across his
|
||
959 lap, studying books on botany, physics, meditation, and magic. He fasted.
|
||
960 Mostly, he dreamed. Waking or sleeping, he always seemed to dream.
|
||
961
|
||
962 This dream was more compelling than most. There was a tall figure standing in
|
||
963 the mists, and the ground below was glowing; otherwise all was dark. The
|
||
964 huge shape spoke in an unknown tongue, and vanished, leaving him alone before
|
||
965 the glowing spot in the woods. Then the first light of dawn came, and he saw
|
||
966 where he was, and knew the place. It was in a hollow nearby, on the grounds
|
||
967 of a local college.
|
||
968
|
||
969 His new direction set, he woke, gathered Helen in his arms, and left for the
|
||
970 hollow.

|

985 He often thought that the hardest grade was the eight one. The one when he
|
||
986 discovered his body was changing. Hair was starting the grow in different
|
||
987 places. His voice started to change sometimes low and at the most embaresing
|
||
988 times high. All the time he thought about the sex education class his mother
|
||
989 made him go to. He saw all the pictures and listen to the priest tell him
|
||
990 about reproduction. That day he went home and look long and hard at himself
|
||
991 in the mirror. Things are changing I really don't know what to do with my body
|
||
992 now. The priest told me never to touch myself but it feels so good. He said
|
||
993 I'd go to hell. So he spend days in feel of dying and going to hell. On
|
||
994 fridays he feel better because he got to go to confession and tell God he was
|
||
995 sorry but this didn't last long. That night like all nights he just had to
|

996 feel himself.
