THE LURE OF THE BOX

Matthew Gideon looked at the closet where he kept the Box. He told himself that he wasn’t going to listen to it anymore. He wasn’t even going to take it out of the closet. So far it had only caused him trouble, more trouble than he knew what to do with.

But –

It had been right too. And it had been wrong. And it lied when it wanted to. The trick was to know when it was lying.

And no one knew.

It told him it would help him find the cure to the plague.

He opened the closet doors.

SAME OLD, SAME, OLD

“Dean, what are you watching?” Sam was constantly amazed at the strange and sick porn that his brother could manage to find on the internet yet he could barely check his email most of the time.

“Um, not quite sure.” Dean closed the browser before Sam could see any more.

“See anything interesting huntingwise?”

“Werewolves in Louisiana, claims of a chupacabra in Texas. Cas popped up healing the sick in some tiny town in Indiana. Oh and demons, always demons.”

“Same old, same old?” Sam asked.

“Yep, same old.” Dean opened a new browser and went back to surfing pornsites.

SAGE ADVICE

Jean-Luc was in his nineties when Data came to visit him at the family vineyard in France. He’d just been given command of his own ship.

“What advice should I give you, Data? You might not have been born human but you have more humanity than most people I know.”

“When did you know you were ready for command, sir?”

“Five years after I got my first command.”

“So there’s nothing wrong with me?”

“Data, you’ll do a superb job. The job is learn as you go and you have a great capacity to learn.”

“Thank you, sir. I’m ready.”

EVENSTAR

The boy had seen the strange man in the forest more than once but he was afraid to tell his mother, afraid she wouldn’t believe him. Or worse, afraid she would. The man was dressed like men of old, in a cloak. His long blond hair was pulled back in a braid. He looked like a part of the forest.

The boy saw him again today and the man nodded and walked into the mist deep in the woods. The boy followed. The man walked a long time but the boy managed to keep up. He was sure the man knew he was being followed.

They came to a clearing and in the center was a small mound with a gravestone at one end. The man stood there without moving for a very long time then he laid something down near the stone.

“Goodbye, Undomiel. I am going home. I am the last one here. I grow weary at last. You have passed into memory but we will never forget you.”

When he had gone, the boy picked up the tiny pendent he left behind and saw the lights shining inside it. It was the light of the evening star.

THE FURLINGS


“Jack, do you suppose we’ll ever see the Furlings?” Jackson asked.

“How would we know if we did? We met the Nox and didn’t know. They looked like silly hippies with twigs in their hair. The Furlings could be fifty feet tall and blue for all we know.”

“Are you sure it’s not still in your brain from downloading the Asgard knowledge?”

“Do I look like I have anything in my head?”

Jackson didn’t say anything then added, “Go back to sleep, Jack.”

“Can’t. I’m awake now. Want some beer and cereal?”

“You’re right, Jack. Your head - it’s empty.”

UNREAL

Pinkie Pie was running around in circles, ranting and raving in a way that was very unlike the usually happy pony. Rainbow Dash had urged her to talk to Princess Twilight Sparkle, who had new wisdom to go along with her wings.

“Have you seen them? They’re horrid and they’re supposed to be us but they’re girls, not ponies! The story goes that we go through some magic mirror and come out as humans!”

Twilight smiled gently at her friend. She had seen the movie and the new toys that were hitting the shelves as well.

“Remember, they’re not real!”

ELSEWHERE

Sam and Rosie Cotton were the happiest of couples. He was a good husband and glad to be back in the Shire after his adventures with Mr. Frodo but every now and again, he woke in the middle of the night and wished he were elsewhere.

He remembered Bill the pony fondly. He missed Mr. Boromir and knew that he was a good man at heart. He missed the men and elves and Mr. Gimli. He even missed Lembas bread.

But mostly he missed Sam – who’d carried Frodo when Frodo couldn’t carry himself.

To be elsewhere just one more time.

CALL GARTH

Bobby watched them. He wished he’d managed not to get killed. He surely hadn’t meant to. The idjits needed someone to tell them what to do and it was his job. Until he went and got killed anyway

“Call Garth,” Sam suggested to Dean.

“Crap! He’s not Bobby!” Dean sputtered.

Bobby wasn’t too sure about Garth either but the boy really was trying and not doing a half bad job of it. Bobby walked up to Dean and put a ghostly hand on his arm. Dean paused as if he’d felt or even heard something.

“All right then. Call Garth.”

WHEN WATSON’S AWAY

Holmes was gone when I got there. Mrs. Hudson said he had gone out on a case with Lestrade. That meant it was a police matter. It also meant I needed to find out where he was; he sometimes clashed with the higher-ups at Scotland Yard.

I headed to the police station and found him sitting in the jail. There he sat in his hat and coat beside a couple of the filthiest, smelliest men I’d ever seen, looking as if they were chums.

He nodded and rose to his feet when he saw me. “What took you so long?”

SUNSHINE

Mitchell woke up early, too early for his day off. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and it was only when he heard a groan behind him that he remembered that he wasn’t alone.

He put a hand to his face and closed his eyes. What in hell had he been thinking?

He remembered they all went out for dinner and drinks, lots of drinks. And he hadn’t come home alone. He remembered who’d come home with him.

“Wake up, Sunshine,” he called to his companion.

Jackson rolled over and covered his head with his pillow.
