FICTION :

This month we welcome Alison Goodchap of the British Isles and her shivery little piece :

FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE

It was there again yesterday. I could sense its presence all day, so I was hardly surprised when I saw a glimpse of it, when I was walking home from the pub. What's that you say, one pint too many and seeing things. No. That's not it, maybe I was seeing things, but I often see it when I'm sober too!

It started about a year ago. I saw it when I looked out of the corner of my eye. I was looking through my bedroom window where I was lodging. It was dark but I could just make out its clumsy shape dragging itself across the roof opposite. I must have only clocked it for a second, before it disappeared behind a chimney. I couldn't make out what it was, or even its shape. Just a sort of heavy dragging dark mass. If I hadn't been so alert I would have never realized it was there, so cleverly it had disguised itself.

At first I only saw it a couple of times a month, but now, its almost getting to every day. I always know its there. I sense it, I suppose. It's not just more persistent, its getting closer all the time. Last night it was actually in the back yard. I couldn't see it, of course, but it was there in the shadows between the wall and the dustbin.

I wonder what it wants?

I was lying in bed last night when I heard it. I've never been able to hear it before. But I knew what it was as soon as I heard it. It sounded like a sack of wet sand being dragged across a wooden floor, so I knew what it was. It must be getting closer if I can hear it now.

I've been checking all the dark spaces, not just in the street but out the backyard too! I never go anywhere these days without my torch.

I check my room too!

Can't be too careful.

I've changed the lock on my bedroom door. Mrs Jessop says she's never had anyone so concerned about locking things as I am. Just because I make sure she locks the kitchen door, especially the kitchen door, and all the windows. She said "Why Mr James, anybody would think that the Mafia was after you." Silly woman, she does talk some drivel, Mafia indeed. There's no such thing as the Mafia in Britain!

I don't go to the pub across the road now. I need to keep my mind alert and my eyes keen. It's getting closer now. It was on the roof of the house last night I could hear it moving across the bedroom ceiling.

I don't go to work anymore. I need to find out what it is and what it wants, its urgent now. So, I go into the library and look through endless piles of books. Why doesn't someone do something about those nutters in that place. They are everywhere, they come in with shabby clothes and plastic shopping bags, muttering to themselves, obsessively searching through the books and talking to themselves. Don't they have a home to put these people in to keep them off the streets?

I can't sleep these days, well at least not in the night. So I keep pacing the floor all night and catch up with my sleep on the bench in the park. Once I've slept a couple of hours I go to the library. I have already found out what it is.

But not what it wants of me.

Or how to deal with it when it gets to me.

It's demonic. I don't know why I didn't guess that in the first place, but I didn't. I suppose its because it doesn't appear to be like the traditional devil, people like me usually think of. I still can't find out what type of demon it is. But it must be from another dimension, otherwise I'd be able to see it properly. If I can just find out what type of demon I'm dealing with, I can defeat it. Still progress is being made, now(that) I know what it is, I can use religious charms to keep it at bay. I've had to improvise. I've got dishes of Holy Water from the Catholic church font. Garlic bulbs at the window and the door. Jewish stars taped with black masking tape all over the windows. Pages of the bible plastered all over the walls. There is no way it can get in.

Mrs Jessop has been nagging for the rent again, greedy woman.

I've been getting a little ratty with people lately. I saw a man pick up the book I wanted in the library, so I told him I would poke his eyes out if he touched my book. He dropped it, of course. I wouldn't have done it, well I think I wouldn't have done it, but he didn't know that. It was so funny, he ran away so fast I still had my two fingers poised in mid-air at eye level. I laughed so much that they asked me to leave. Cheek! Why don't they do something about those nutters instead of picking on me?

I've started to make silly mistakes, forgot my keys, lost my wallet, left the bread I just bought in the shop. So I went to the doctor to ask for help, I must keep myself alert for the night.

It's strange the doctor asked me so many questions and wanted to give me tranquillizers. He also wanted me to see another doctor who specializes in my type of problem. I pricked my ears up at that, there were specialists in other dimensional entities, that was interesting. Yes, I think I would like to discuss the problem with such a doctor. I threw away the tablets the first doctor gave me. Was he trying to trick me into sleeping, so it could get to me? How can you tell where it has friends working for it?

I chatted to the specialist, apparently he gets people who are haunted by multidimensional beings in all the time. He said that ( as far as I can understand it, he was using medical jargon and it was difficult to follow what he meant) they drain your strength by making you frightened. The more frightened you are the more strength they get. At least that's what it sounded like. Lots of people are driven mad by them. And that's what it trying to do to me. He said that the usual way to defeat them was to stop feeding it with my fear. I said "Oh yeah! How's that possible?" He said that I was to take these pills three times a day without fail, they would make me feel good, instead of worried and it would starve the thing.

He's right you know. I feel much calmer now and I haven't seen it for a while.

Then I had a thought. What if the doctor is also working for it like the other one was? Why would he make me calm and brave? Why? Because I can't see it out of the corner of my eye anymore! If I can't see it, I can't fight it!

It can get me!

I was talking to this kid in the park. He looked a little strange, I think he was a punk or something like that. Well anyway I told him about the medication I was on and he said that if I mixed it with alcohol or took the pills all at once I could "Goof out." was what he said. He also said a lot of other things, he knew a lot about drugs apparently. Nice boy, inspite of his weird hairdo. He said he could sell my medication to his friends at a good price. I thought well it could be better than throwing them in the bin. So I did. I was right, they were trying to trick me. It was in my room last night. I was asleep and even in my sleep I could feel it getting nearer and nearer. I opened my eyes and it was right next to the bed.

I SCREAMED !

I awoke the whole house, people hammered on my door, but by that time it had gone. It must have been hiding in the corner all the time.

It's not going to get me!

Saw that punk today. He's full of useful information, stuff you don't find in books. He said that if I was to take some stuff called "Speed" I would stay awake for ages without feeling tired or depressed and have loads of energy as well. He said he could get me some for a good price, I already had some credit with him from the other drugs. So I thought well why not he was right about that other matter, you know that's what I thought. You can't trust anybody they are all out to get you, that's what he told me and quite frankly he's right.

It's great. I have never felt so good in my life. I haven't slept for days. I shall let it sneak up on me and I'll kill it, once and for all. I've taken down all the protective charms, they didn't work anyway. I'm just going to let it come.

I've got a blow torch!

I'm sitting up on my bed, with my blow torch.

I'M WAITING !

ORIGINAL POETRY

Our first poem is from the new Canadian poet, Michael Goodliffe - this is one young man to really keep your eyes on!

From The Lost Girl??™s Poems - No. 3

LOST GIRL Part 3

Lost girl flying way up high in the night sky

On who's bed last night did you land on and lie ?

Need and lean on

Tonight's lies that you'll feed on

Tomorrow you will bleed on

Lost girl

Where were you going ?

With all that weight you were towing

Your throwing away all that your knowing

It's showing

Lost girl

Smiles too much at strangers

Spends her days looking for danger

I cry

But I can't change her

My heart won't exchange her

I am in love with a lost girl in danger

All alone she has fell

Like a child down a well

Ignorant men toss down coins and make wishes

Steal kisses

Leaving hits and misses

They play

Then walk away

Leaving her to drown

Down underground

But the girl only sees the skies above her

Not the water that surrounds her

It will drown her

Maybe before I have found her

I pray she loves herself enough to look around her

Remembering the little boy who dreams about her

I would die to return him to her

I believe only he can remove her

See right through her

Show her the lies of the world that surrounds her

She could fly back up high

See the chains that have bound her

Lost girl

Since the day that I first met you

I saw the path ahead that beset you

And even when you hurt me

I could not regret you

It is so hard for me to love you like this

In complete unconditionalness

Without even a single kiss

I patiently wait

All alone

With my heart

That you own

Our second poem is from the really good, really rising poet, Stephen Leuchtman.

THE HERO (VARIATION ON A THEME)

He draws in a breath as a hiss

Old and bent,

As a bullet zings past his ear

He hobbles,

His bowels tighten

Slowly down the street,

As he looks at his companion

Withered and gray,

A fountain of blood spreading rapidly

A shadow of what he used to be.

Darkening his shirt.

The cold tightens his nipples

Others rush past him,

But for now that is forgotten

Paying little heed,

For if he concentrates on anything else

Save if he be in their way,

Death will find him as surely as it found his friend

In which case they mutter

His thoughts race as a shell flies over

And wish him gone.

His ears pound as it explodes.

He curses his age,

He wipes a trickle of blood that runs down his neck

His frailty,

Not for the first time

Wishing he could be of them again,

The concussion has shattered an ear drum

Curses fate,

But he has no time to consider the pain

That he outlived his body.

Or he will know nothing.

For two long years this has been his life

Would the people who crowd him,

And it will be his life until the war is done

Who push past him

So he can go back and live again,

And begrudge the inconvenience

Love again,

Of a few short steps,

Feel the warmth of the wife he left in Cleveland

Would they look on him differently

Have a beer at the tavern on the corner

If they could see him as he was?

But first, his duty, first survival.

That he watched his friends die,

That he fought valiantly

That they might rush past

And forget him.

(c) 2004 Stephen Leuchtman

Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 02:33:05 From: "Joey" <joey@outtaprint.com> Subject: New e-book Site Coming Soon Hi there, We're posting this message to let you know about a new   exciting website that we're going to be launching in the next few weeks. The site is called "OuttaPrint" and will be located at http://www.outtaprint.com. We'll be offering old, out of print books and novels that aren't available anywhere else. We're currently negotiating with several big publishers and hope to have 100s, if not 1000s, of hard to find books available within a few weeks of launching the site. The books will be in "e-book" form and will be available for purchase in several formats. We're writing today because we're looking for more authors and publishers to submit their works and make them available on our site. In addition to our out of print books, we will also have a section on the site devoted to un-published works. If you're an author with stories or novels y ou've not had published, please consider submitting them to us. We'll convert them to e-book format, add them to our online catalog, and pay you a generous monthly commission for any copies of your work we sell. If you're a publisher or own the right to any out of print books, novels, short stories, etc., please let us sell them for you on our site. As mentioned before, we'll do all the work and pay you a monthly percentage of your sales. We're currently looking for just about any type of fiction??¦romance, mystery, suspense, science fiction, adventure, ethnic, erotica, historical, western, etc. The site is currently under construction, but we will be launching in a few weeks. Please contact us and let us tell you how we can help get your works out to the masses by having them on OuttaPrint.com. All set up and conversion to e-book format is free (although this will probably change in the future), we'll add your stories to our catalog for free, handle all sales, billing, a nd customer service. You don??™t have to do a thing except submit your material and cash your monthly checks. Please contact me at joey@outtaprint.com and tell me about your work and what you'd like added to the site and I'll give you more details on what we can do for you.
