- The Screaming Skulls of Calgarth Hall
1
‘Look to yourself, Myles Phillipson! ’Tis a fine thing you think you have done but this miserable parcel of land you lust after will prove the dearest a Phillipson ever got. You will never prosper. The time shall come when no Phillipson will own an inch of land. And while stand the walls of your fine new house, we will haunt it night and day. You will never be rid of us! NEVER!’
- Here Ch'i Gathers
2
There was wealth here, he could feel it. Wealth they could tap, wealth they could liberate. They felt no qualms about what they did: most profit is earned on the sweat of another, most is undeserved. Most is then simply being returned to where it belonged. Not stealing, more a repositioning of resources. Another sanitising label. They had learned well from their political masters.
- The Hand That Feeds
3
No one suspected, did they. Maybe we’d just gotten too caught up in our own sense of goodwill to wonder. Let’s face it, where famine stalks, death’s just a few steps behind, the oldest and the weakest the first losers, but where were the bodies?
- 'Put Your Back Into It!': The Phantom of Toerning Mill
4
‘It is a curse we have lived with, this past century and more, sir,’ he said. ‘That post holds down the ghost of one Peter Christian Holm, one-time administrator of the mill here and the surrounding farms.’ ‘Holds down the ghost!’ I repeated, aghast. ‘But how? And why?’ ‘Let me tell you the story, sir. Let me take you back into our past...’
- An Unconscionable Time
5
So how did I come to this? Oh, I doubt it not: you will have heard the manner of my death, handed down to you second or perhaps even third hand, each retelling receiving just that little extra embellishment, another grain of shock to add spice to the feast. Very possibly if I know the tongues that wag in this parish. But whatever you heard, be assured you know less than the half of it.
- The Other Box
6
I doubt that Zeus ever guessed it might come to this, gifted with foresight though he be. Worsted by his own art, or so he would have it, but he fashions the world to his liking alone and how else should he feel when his creations grow according to their will rather than his own? Jealousy? Pride? Yes, and in measure to befit the God of Gods.
- Volenti Non Fit Injuria (To They Who Are Willing, No Wrong Can Be Done)
7
Sometimes, perhaps too many times, kindness is not what it seems...
David P. Elvar
