I sat on the park bench crying my eyes out, stunned by the unreal encounter I'd had with my hospitalized father. In just one day he had gotten so much worse...

A dozen or so ducks had wandered up from the pond to come check me out. Quacking, shaking their little tails, unafraid, so darn cute. Now the ducks were making me cry.

"Sorry babies, I got nothin' for you!" I sniffed as I rummaged through my purse, hoping that somehow a bag of Duck Chow I hadn't realized I was carrying might appear in there.

Suddenly a flock of Canada geese---thinking my little friends were on to a handout---ran in and chased them all away.

"Oh," I gasped, "OH!"

And now the geese were in front of me instead, acting like I was supposed to recognize them as the more rightful recipients of whatever treats I had. I knew their type. Thugs. Schoolyard bullies. The alpha male reared his head, scornfully staring me down...

"Oh yeah?" I jeered, "I wouldn't give you nothin' even if I had it, you stupid goose. Damn right I'm talkin' to you! We're the only ones here, who else would I be talking to? Think your so bad don'tcha? Beating up on a these poor little ducks. Why don't you try picking on somebody your own size. Come on tough guy, right now! You and me!"

When from out of nowhere came a woman's voice: "Joy?"

PLAY . . NICE!

It's What I Want
by Tanya Allan

Don is a bit of a geek. But his intelligence was matched by his kind heart, and his flat mate and friend Steve appreciates his help in his university course work.

Don is a little confused as to why Steve and two other friends want him to join them of a motor cycle tour of France in the summer holidays, but he is pleased to be asked, and goes along. On their first stop, a cool group is playing at a night club, but it is a couples only evening, and Don is persuaded to become Donna for one evening, just so the four friends can see the show.

But no one expected to find Donna still there on the following morning.

In fact, Don never returned. And Donna was anything but a Geek!

The remaining brothers watched as their mother sat in the parlor. She was weeping as she held a family photo. Seated in the photo, she was surrounded by her four sons, four sons not the three that were in attendance; an attendance required by the death and burial of their father. As she looked longingly at the picture she thought ‘If only I had listened.’

‘Come on, children,’ I said taking my eyes away from Adrian’s rather strange look, ‘let’s go in.’

I followed Dawn who had gone charging ahead with children who had run in after her. I could hear Adrian behind me. I didn’t want to look at him. I was confused and did not know how to take the look that he had given me.

“Okay, okay–I’ll play it cool, but if she so much as looks sideways I want you to find a way to get rid of her.”

This last comment was followed by his slamming the phone back on its cradle and some expletives attached to comments about meddling women and his perception of their role in life.

Holy Earthworm

The only part I cannot proove to them is about heavenly spirits sharring this body one at a time and by two together in 2004. They may take the evidence of there own many scientist researchers who have died and been revived. They also have gotten advice from known respected seers and suchas these:

>>Part about a seer is not denying someones sight with my sight. This is easy but inside myself the truth speaks out to my soul ears. I can't deny my judgements within my soul. So I seek not to argue although I do even if it is me I am arguing with.

Hi, yeah a lot for trish during the years following 1982 because she suffered from the trauma death brings during the death process. She suffered the trauma of dieing and the trauma of experiencing death itself then, for years after she suffered the trauma of "rememberance" of the death experience.

Oiay vey! How to explain to you understanding it?

I won't give you a bad understanding beyond what I wrote. If you want me to tell you in detail how she suffered the actual death and rememberance after, and for years to come than you may not know what your asking.

First the thrill of going by thought was a releaf. I got out of the closet but it was awkward as I had to face I was dead. I couldn't get use to my body. Look like me but there was no lips to move and you don't use air. The nose was not or the eyes. I kept at first trying to move lips that were not there. Same with the nose, eyes, and hands on the body. No feeling or touching things anymore and it was desparring. I was in morning for my dead body. Oh if I could only tell it how sorry I was that I took it for granted!! I would give anything to touch it and beg its forgiveness.

I knew than I am dead. I felt like I look like I lost my best friend. Oh I can't just go I whined,"dead people can't do anything. There's no use trying". I cryed but I half grunted then, over grunted a try. The soft Voice upon the second time says,"just go". I did it, was seezy! The second time hearing the Voice gave ability to do a thought. Ahseezy! All the speed going up like a mad rush of air with stars everywhere. Faster I went the stars rush by until I was saying,"let me go back please I don't want to be dead". I want to breath air and move my lips or smell through my nose.

I couldn't see anything and the darkness was thickest I'd ever seen. I said, "who put me in this closet to leave me"? I though did they lock me in? How dare they!
