Mentality notes: They seem extremely curious about new creatures, they are not easily frightened. They have a short attention span. They will attack large creatures, they are surprisingly capable in combat. They are imaginative in inventing new methods of attack. They seem to enjoy playing with each other. They only hunt once every other day.

"Deja Vu is a unexplained phenomena, a feeling of familiarity towards something with which we are unfamiliar. It has been called a random unexplainable abberation. Yet, in the absence of proof we will always imagine something "

"Stranger things have been known to happen. It is the strangness of normality that have not been."

"In a mysterious place on an unknown day, a man you cannot possibly know awoke. He looked about the place he was in as if he did not know it."

"As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to state all the other ones, before and after" - Sherlock Holmes

"so all a man’s antecedents and possibilities are summed up in a single utterance…." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

"For some reason, people associate darkness with evil and light with good. But in truth, they fear darkness itself, and are comforted by the light, for they cannot see without it. But it is wrong to assume that what we cannot see endangers us more then what we do see."

Another Unfinished Story
It was the Twenty-Third of June


 * It was the twenty-third of June, with a cloudy sky outside. Jack Porter was sitting at a desk inside his hotel room. A half empty bottle of alcohol sat on the desk beside him. He looked depressed, and rather drunk.
 * He was holding a book in his hands, the first half of it bent back behind it, so that it didn’t block the light from page thirty-four.
 * In an instant he stood up and threw the book at away at the floor, letting out an angry murmur. Agitation clear on his face. He ran his fingers through his hair and took two long breaths.
 * Then he turned and walked out the door.


 * “Here we are,” Art was saying to his empty car, as he came to a stop outside a hotel-complex. “And now,” as he took out his cell phone, he and started dialing.
 * “Hello, may I talk to-” there was a loud rap on the passenger window.
 * “Never mind.”
 * He reached over and opened the door, and Jack slid in.
 * “I tell yea Jack, you should be a magician.” Art said as Jack pulled on the inside of the car door, closing and locking it.
 * “You forgot your seatbelt” Jack said, as he put his own on.
 * “What? Oh, right.” Art buckled himself in.
 * “So, how are you doing?” asked Art, as Jack unlocked his door again.
 * Jack was silent for a moment as he started fidgeting around in his seat, trying to be comfortable. Then he stopped.
 * “I tried to read-” he stopped suddenly for a moment “... it, again.” he was looking at his feet, but he glanced over at Art for a moment as he finished.
 * Art looked down. But only for a moment. “Did-.” he started, but then “How far did you get?”
 * Jack glanced at him again for a moment, “page 34” he said quietly.
 * There was silence for several minutes as Art started the car moving.
 * “Jack,” he said, placing his hand on Jack’s shoulder “I’m sorry.”
 * “I know.”
 * Jack knew he would say this, but it always made him feel better when he did.


 * Several minutes later, the car came to a stop outside a small residential home, in a neighborhood that Jack didn’t seem to think looked very nice. The house was surrounded by yellow “crime scene” tape, and an officer was standing to one side with a clip board held in his off hand.
 * They approached the officer, Art showed his credentials and signed the clipboard. The officer looked at Jack.
 * “It’s okay, he’s with me.” Art affirmed
 * “Without credentials he can’t be allowed in.” said the officer.
 * Art looked annoyed. Jack told him to go ahead, and that he would be fine staying outside.

"Master Herbert?"

"Yes, Butler."

"Are you going to have some bread this evening?"

"No. And close the grateway door" he added, as an afterthought.

Herbert observed the Hindu as he closed the grate before leaving the cave-like subbasement.
