MY PARTNER HAD THE FIRE INSURANCE RENEWRD IN HIS NAME, THEN 94 TORCHED THE PLACE. SO HE COLLECTED, AND IS SOMEWHERE LYING ON A BEACH ATCHING TH 95 E NATIVE GIRLS AND SIPPING SOMETHING EXOTIC FROM A HOLLOWED OUT PINEAPPLE; AND I 96 AM HERE IN HIS PLACE, WHICH REMINDS ME, I'M SORRY FOR WRITING THIS IN CRAYON, 97 BUT THEY DON'T ALLOW US TO HAVE ANYTHING SHARP HERE. WELL, THAT WASN'T SO BAD, 98 BUT I HAD JUST COME FROM THE DOCTOR AND LEARNED THAT I HAVE CANCER OF THE BRAIN, 99 LUNGS,COLON, AND ACHILLES TENDON, AND WAS GIVEN ABOUT A YEAR TO LIVE. AND IF 100 THAT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, O THE WAY HOME I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE CAR ACCIDENT, 101 AND AS THE OTHER TWO CARS WERE POLICE CARS, I HAD TO PUT UP MY HOUSE FOR BAIL. 102 WHEN I FINALLY DID GET HOME, I FOUND OUT THAT MY WIFE HAD RUN OFF WITH A 103 BULGARIAN DENTIST FROM SOUTH EL MONTE, AND HER MOTHER HAD MOVED IN, AND SHE 104 IMMEDIATELY STARTED BADMOUTHING ME. I JUST COULDN'T TAKE ANYMORE, AND DECIDED TO 105 END IT ALL. I TOOK MY PISTOL AND POINTED IT AT MY HEAD, AND,---PULLED THE TRIGGE 106 BUT, SIGH, I MISSED, AND HIT-YOU GUESSED IT- MY MOTHER IN LAW. THE POLICE SAID I 107 DID IT ELIBERATELY, BUT THANK GOD THE JURY BELIEVED ME, AND SET ME FREE. I WAS 108 SO HAPPY, THINKING I COULD LIVE OUT THE REST OF MY SHORT LIFE IN PEACE, BUT WHEN 109 I GOT HOME, THERE WERE MORE POLICE WAITING FOR ME. I WAS ARRESTED FOR ATEMPTING 110 SUICIDE. THE JUDGE SAID I WAS A MENACE TO SOCIETY, AND SENT ME HERE, TO THE 111 SNICKERING SYCAMORES REST HOME, WHERE THIS BATTLE AXE NURSE MAKES ME WEAVE 112 BASKETS ALL DAY.YESTERDAY I GOT A LETTER FROM MY KIDS, AND THEY SAID HEY ALL 113 HATE ME, AND TOMORRROW THE DOCTOR IS GOING TO DO A LOBOTOMY ON ME.

WE MAY HOPE. 117 MUST HAVE DOZED OFF AGAIN. WERE DID EVERYBODY GO. 118 NOTICING THEY WERE NEARLY ALONE AT THEIR TABLE, THEMNAX AND DREAMTOUCHER 119 WENT TO THE FRONT DOOR AND PEEKED OUT. A LARGE BUS-LIKE OBJECT WAS JUST PULLING 120 AWAY FROM THE VERANDA. THE DESTINATION SIGN SAID: CHARTERED AND A HAND LETTERED 121 PAPPER SIGN IN THE LOWER RIGHT FRONT WINDSHIELD SAID: TWIT'S MYSTERY TOUR. 122 "CANT SAY AS I'M SAD TO SEE THAT LOT DEPART";DREAMTOUCHER SAID. 123 "WHO WERE THEY?";THEMNAX ASKED. 124 "IT'S A LONG STORY. ASK THE BARD OR THE SHADOW CREW SOME TIME IF WE EVER 125 SEE THEM AGAIN." 126 "SPEAKING OF THE BARD; WASN'T HE THE ONE WITH A LEAD ON THIS MCKANE BUNCH?" 127 "THAT'S RIGHT BUT WERE IS HE. HE COULD BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US FOR ALL I CAN 128 TELL BUT ONE THING'S ODD" 129 "WHAT'S THAT?" 130 "I DON'T SEE SHADOW!" 131 "SHADOW?" 132 "L'HOMME'S CAR. NOW THAT IS ODD" 133 "WE MIGHT AS WELL HEAD UP TO MY ROOM FOR A BIT. THERE IS SOMETHING ODD 134 THERE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME."; THEMNAX INVITED. 135 WHEN THEY GOT THERE HE SHOWED DREAMTOUCHER A DOOR SET INTO THE WALL WITH NO 136 OBVIOUS WAY OF OPPENING. "I'VE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF CUTTING THE LATCH. DON'T 137 TELL THE INNKEEPER ABOUT THAT THOUGH, I USED THE CUT-METTAL FUNCTION OF MY STAFF 138 AND I'M NOT SURE HOW HE WOULD FEEL ABOUT IT." 139 THEMNAX OPPENED THE DOOR IN QUESTION. BEHIND IT WAS SIMPLY AN ALMOST DOOR 140 SIZED MIRROR FLUSH WITH THE REST OF THE ROOM'S WALL. TO 141 ONE SIDE OF ITS WIDE METTALIC FRAIM WAS A SMALL 3 BY 5 KEYPAD. THEMNAX TYPED IN 142 90909. THE MIRROR VANISHED AND THEY WERE LOOKING INTO A DINING ROOM. SEVERAL 143 FAMILIAR FACES WERE SEATED AT TABLE, AMONG THEM VOYEUR AND L'HOMME! 144 "GO BACK AND LOOK AROUND THE INN AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE BARD. IF NOT 145 COME BACK UP HERE AND PUNCH THE SAME CODE I JUST DID." 146 THEMNAX THEN SAT, LOTUSLIKE ON HIS MINI-GRAV-SLED, EASED OFF THE FLOOR ABOUT 147 SIX INCHES AND TURNED ONCE AGAIN TO DREAMTOUCHER. "OK. NOW REMEMBER WHAT I 148 SAID." 149 DREAMTOUCHER REPEATED IT BACK. THEMNAX WAS SATISFIED THAT HE GOT IT RIGHT. 150 PUTTING ON HIS CLOAK, HE SEEMED TO DISSAPPEAR IN FRONT OF DREAMTOUCHER'S EYES. 151 HIS DISEMBODIED VOICE SEEMED TO COME FROM MID AIR. "AS SOON AS I'M COMPLETELY 152 THROUGH, PUSH THE KEY LABLED '#'". 153 WITH THAT THE SEEMINGLY EMPTY GRAV SLED GLIDED TWARD AND THROUGH THE OPPENING. 154 AS SOON AS IT CLEARED, DREAMTOUCHER DID AS THEMNAX HAD ASKED OF HIM AND THE 155 DOORWAY ONCE ACAIN BECAME A MIR 156 BEFORE HE LEFT THE ROOM, DREAMTOUCHER CLOSED THE CRUDE WOOD AND IRON DOOR WHIC 157 CONCIELED THE 'MIRROR'. HE THEN LEFT THEMNAX'S ROOM AND WENT DOUNSTAIRS TO TRY 158 THE BATH. 159 *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* 160 -----------------------------------GURU OF BLIS--------------------------------- 161 WHEN A PERSON BUILDS A HOUSE ON A FLOOD PLAIN; IT IS NOT GOD OR NATURE 162 HE SHOULD BLAIM WHEN THE WATERS COME AND WASH IT AWAY. 163 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 164 165 *************************************************************** 166 OPPS!

HE 465 LOOKED AROUND FOR SOME FAMILIAR SIGN OF HIS WHEREABOUTS BUT FOUND ONLY GREEN 466 GRASS AS FAR AS THE EYES COULD SEE. THEN IN THE DISTANCE A SILVERY SHIM- 467 MER CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION. IT SEEMED TO BE DRAWING CLOSER AT A RATHER RAPID 468 RATE OF SPEED AND HE COULD DETECT NO SOUND FROM WHATEVER IT WAS USING FOR 469 A POWER PLANT. THEN "IT" WAS UPON HIM, OR RAHTER ABOVE HIM, WHISPERING 470 TO ITSELF. THE CRAFT, FOR THAT WAS WHAT IT APPEARED TO BE, MEASURED AT 471 ROUGHLY THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS. HE COULDN'T SEE ANY LIGHTS OR OTHER VISIBLE 472 SIGNS OF LIFE FROM WHAT WERE APPARENTLY WINDOWS, BUT DIDN'T LET THIS LULL 473 HIM INTO A STATE OF DISREGARD. IT WAS BIG, QUIET AND QUITE OBVIOUSLY VERY 474 HEAVY. AND HE WAS IN THE CENTER OF IT'S SHADOW. 475 "WELL, HE THOUGHT, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE LAST TIME I LISTEN TO GARTHLEM 476 WHEN IT COMES TO DRINKING SULTERMIN!" HE ATTEMPTED TO WALK AWAY FROM WHAT 477 WAS QUITE CERTAIN TO BE HIS DEMISE IF HE DIDN'T MOVE AND THE SHIP SHOULD 478 SUDDENLY DROP IN. THE FURTHER HE MOVED, THE FURTHER THE SHIP MOVED. AND 479 CHANGING DIRCTIONS DIDN'T HELP HIM ANY EITHER. FIN SAID HIS PRAYERS AND 480 STARTED SPRINTING AS FAST HIS LONG LEGS WOULD ALLOW.

Going through the door I wispered "with a couple 499 of friends as well..." 500 Going through the dusk air, I found a clearing near a large tree with 501 low branches. Producing three minibolos, I set two on the ground, and one 502 upon the lowest branch. I fiddled with the controlls, until I was able to 503 produce the proper resonance field between the three.
