Expectation
Paranormal events may well happen, but what defines them?
Looking at the various ‘entities’ of the past – ghosts, fairies,
vampires, etc – they all have many characteristics in common.
Maybe the thing that separates what we see is the cultural
expectation of what we believe we will see.
EDITORIAL

magazine. Read either or both. It is also

FROM THE ARCHIVES
The ‘Y’ Files – Choose an Essay
CULTURE NEWS: Study finds women only
really listen to gossip or other’s conversations.
Will the response to this prove or disprove it?
BRIT NEWS: It seems that the party who said they’d
redistribute wealth has produced the most unequal society since
records began. Well, Labour always gets it wrong.
BRIT NEWS: Army nearly at full strength for first
time in an age. Recession has driven them
in. Just hope they’ve got what it takes.

GHOST WRITERS’ BALL
The ghost writers’ ball was a sombre affair,
Writing for others simply has no flair,
Twirling around all by themselves,
No one to dance with, left on the shelf,
Yet they seem to be happy enough,
They’ve written in their partners,
Pure mind stuff
THE MILLIONAIRE
Fiction: Bullied and a ‘failure’ for many years, he left the town to
go backpacking around the world with the intention of making his
fortune. When he returned, his ‘friends’ had done well, but were
envious of his Rolls Royce and designer suit. Prepared to forgive
them, he let them invest in his business. Then he paid off the car
hire firm and left to live the life of a millionaire.
SWING
Swing from story to poetry,
Make it sad or offer glee,
Write it down, get it out,
The reader left in no doubt;
Entertain or offer a view,
Look at life all anew,
Twisty path or say it straight,
Writing is my only fate

TONY’S MUSE DIARY
Okay, so he’s never worn the uniform but I know he’s dreamt about
it. You see, Him Outside is a closet Trekkie. I mention this ‘cos he
watched Star Trek: Nemesis the other night for the first time and he
was disappointed. He’d seen better TV episodes; and he could see
why it had to be scrapped. It had grown tired. Hopefully the new Star
Trek movie will see it all back on form, ‘cos Spock got it wrong: Live
Long and Prosper – but with the occasional break.
