Primm Slam Dunk Steve Suzie Baunsgard Taylor Conner Theodore Lehman Thomas Akagi Thomas Reynolds Thomas Throop Tim Tom Harrod Trapper Jeff, MD Trys Victor Lams Wade Brown Wesley Teal Whitney Will Keightley Zach Dedicated to Mike and Conor 1 Zhravelle was worried. The High Council had not convened as a whole since the Nitrogen Wars of -1312. Yet there it was, the Signal Orb on his sleeping chamber wall, blinking bright amber. “Report,” Zhravelle commanded. “You are needed”, the metallic voice replied. “Whe -”, he started to ask, but the voice cut him off. “Immediately.” Zhravelle sighed heavily and passed a hand over his face. He’d had way too much fun last night, staying up past the third moon, drinking way too much Galdum, and what was the name of the Paltracian female? It didn’t matter. He’d never remember. Anymore than he’d ever forget… Zhravelle made a guttural noise and hoisted himself off his sleeping platform. He threw a snack to Varl, who scuttered across the floor and gobbled it up with his mouth parts, then he tossed back a warm, half-glass of Galdum and said to no one, “It’s gonna be a hell of a day.” * * * Juggling a cellphone, two half-caf lattes and a cinnamon bagel was no easy task, but Stefanie Fleece was doing it with all the poise of a ballerina as she exited the Lincoln Towncar that brought her to work each morning. Beautiful, smart as a whip, and just a little bit scatterbrained, Stefanie had quickly outpaced the interns who worked alongside her doing whatever menial task was handed to them by the Senator’s chief of staff. Kiss ass! The words of that pudgy, moon-faced boy from -- what was it, Oklahoma? -- still echoed in her ears. Stefanie shook it off, said goodbye to her driver and hustled toward her office on Pennsylvania avenue. She’d show him. She’d show them all. And then, unbidden, that bitter voice in her own head, the one she’d tried so hard to shake: “It’s wrong what they did to you, papa! But I’ll make it right. You’ll see, daddy!” She brushed away a single tear with the slender finger of her elegant deerskin glove, narrowed her eyes and got on with her day. * * * 1 Meanwhile, 1122 miles away, in the icy burg called “Minneapolis,” three men were hunched over a table in a brewpub, sipping hazy IPAs. The scraggliest member of the trio drained the remainder of his glass and set it down. “Much obliged for the brews, muchachos, but you two still owe me big time. You came this close to blowing my cover with your frickin’ podcast. Do you know how much caca would hit the fan if people realized I’m the High Council’s top spy on Earth?” For the umpteenth time, the other two men apologized. “Conor and I can’t state how sorry we are,” said Mike, taking out of his pocket a can of tinned fish and, prying it open, offering his unkempt companion a selection. The tousled fellow gratefully accepted, dangling his head back to gulp down the anchovy. Licking stray beads of olive oil from his mustache, he continued. “Just remember that no one can know my Bob Honey novels are coded reports to the Big Enchiladas. You think I like alliteration?” Conor ruefully hung his head. “To think we almost helped the Loonians get a new nitrogen megadeath ray.” “That’s OK,” said the author/actor/spy, lighting up a cigarette despite the indoor smoking ban. “I just had a brainwave about how to set the whole mess straight. You hombres can write a new novel for me.” Mike and Conor choked, spraying mouthfuls of beer across the table. “A novel? But—we’re busy! We don’t have the time—” “Then have those jackals who listen to you write it instead!” shouted the wiry, intense man, dabbing droplets of ale from his rumpled suit. “The damn thing won’t have to make any sense! Indeed, it’s better if it doesn’t. All that matters is that it contain the following code…” 2 2 Stefanie barreled into the office with the ferocity of a lion while maintaining her dancer-like grace. Setting her coffees and bagel on her desk, she noticed a presence behind her. Turning, she saw it was Tim, perhaps the most dimwitted of her fellow interns. “Hey Steph, how’s it goin’?” Stefanie was assaulted by a veritable wall of scent from Tim’s body-spray. Fighting the urge to collapse into a coughing fit, she struggled to respond. “Fine, Tim. What do you need?” She hoped he didn’t need anything, but idiots like Tim always needed something. He didn’t realize how difficult things already were for her; how difficult it was just to get through the day, sometimes. “Oh, nothing. Nothing really. Except, I was wondering. Do you think Senator Byrd likes me? I mean, I don’t care really, except for the fact that the last time he was through the office, he said something weird while walking by me. It sounded like, ‘Don’t leak, dammit!’ Do you think he considers me a security risk?” Stefanie stared at him. Tim was dim, no two ways about it, but this sounded like pure babble. “I have no idea what that even means, Tim. Why would anyone think you’re a security risk? You don’t know anything!” She was getting exasperated. To have to deal with this on today of all days. “Oh yeah!” Tim said, brightening, “I don’t know anything, do I? Thanks Stefanie. You’re the smartest one in this office, I don’t care what Bob says. I mean, you must have learned a lot from your dad—“ He stopped suddenly as Stefanie’s face turned bright red. It took all she had to not kick Tim into unconsciousness. “Never talk about him. Never.” She turned—violently, but elegantly--on her heel and stormed off. * * * Am I dead? The question circled through Varl’s mind. A fall like that would have killed any lesser being – twenty-thousand feet, even in ultra-compressed time-space, was still twenty- thousand feet. If this was paradise, though, it wasn’t one he recognised from any mythology… ‘Sir, could you please get up? People can’t get to the counter.’ He took the earthling’s hand, exercising all his restraint not to crush it like a small animal. A human, giving him instructions! Didn’t he know that giving orders to a superior being was punishable by death? That one flex of Varl’s hubristic nerve would trigger his Blardraxian war 3 nostrils, firing off enough electrified plasma to melt a walrus? ‘Of course they wouldn’t, Varl. Humans don’t have war nostrils. You’re trying to blend in, remember?’ His trainer’s voice buzzed in his memory. Stupid Debra, Varl thought as he clambered to his feet. He knew what he was doing. His new body had sustained no damage, his surroundings were intact, and for once no casualties – all in all, a successful teleport. Or was it? He had landed in some sort of feeding establishment, thronged with sweaty, muttering humans who seemed more bemused than surprised by his sudden appearance. The air was thick with bovine grease and some herbal note he couldn’t quite identify. ‘You there,’ he growled to his helper, ‘where am I?’ The human gestured to the emblem on his lapel: a single white turret emblazoned with what loosely translated to… a ha! A smile crept across Varl’s lips.

The thesis explores 'myth-revision' in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth- revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story's implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' revises 'Red Riding Hood' into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.

P.'P. Preface. I CANNOT plead, according to the approved mock-modest formula of incipient authors, “the importunities of, perhaps, too partial friends,” as my excuse for rushing into authorship. I am urged by a far more genuine, and disagreeable motive. My purse, like Falstaff's, has long suffered from atrophy. “I can get no remedy,” says the fat knight, “against this consumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable.” The malady, however, may be alleviated; and it is in the hope of escaping, for a time, from the pangs of this detestable impecuniosity that I publish my tiny volume.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

Can’t you make up? Are you sure? Did you try?” These are the questions Patty asked her mother. “Sweetie, yes. And I don’t expect you to understand. It’s just the way it has to be,” said Gloria. Her voice was cracking, her glasses fogging behind the wet dish towel in her hand, wrapped around red knuckles, rubbing a plate dry. “It’s all our fault,” said Patty’s brother, David, who was leaning over the back of a chair with his head in his hands like he was on a soap opera. “If we hadn’t been such rotten kids, this wouldn’t have happened.” Patty looked at David to see if he was serious.

DESCRIPTORS *Child Welfare; Children; Federal Legislation; *Homeless People; Housing Needs; Low Income Groups; *Poverty; Profiles; Trend Analysis; *Urban Problems IDENTIFIERS Shelters; *Stewart B McKinney Homeless Assistance Act 1987 ABSTRACT Ten years after passage of the McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, homelessness was studied in 11 urban, rural, and suburban communities and 4 states. The first section of the report examines the findings of detailed research on homelessness in these locations. The second section draws conclusions and outlines future directions for efforts to eradicate homelessness. The next two sections contain profiles that examine the origin of homelessness in each of these states and summarize research from the mid-1980s to the present. Every community profile contains an interview with a person who has been working in that community on homelessness issues. The final section of the report consists of interviews with national advocates, federal government officials, and state and local providers and advocates. The causes of homelessness have not been adequately addressed, and the homeless assistance legislation in 1987 did not stem the tide of homelessness. Research also indicates that expansion of the shelter system will not end homelessness.
