(Gee, perhaps that writers block is fading.) 118 119 I faded back into the space that was the table occupied by my companions. 120 The Astral trip had been a short one but had been fruitfull. Perhaps someday 121 I would have the story of the vieled one, the pieces continued to fall 122 together. 123 124 I pulled a deck of cards from my pocket and laid them out of the table. 125 126 While I waited for the rest of our group to finish assembling I shuffled the 127 cards and put them out one by one. It was not the future that I wished to 128 see, It was the past. 129 130 An Astral Dreamer.

I will now continue my story. (BTW, if you guys don't start 160 posting I'm going to break off and do my own story.) 161 162 The cards were not cooperating. Some things Were more easily found then Others 163 though and I continued in my quest. The Somnulence around the table was 164 lessaning but Was still quete oppresive. Soon perhaps There would be action. 165 166 After shuffling and dealing out the cards several more times I was forced 167 to admit that atleast for now the way was blocked. For some reason this 168 portion of the past was hidden from me. I knew that this particuler time 169 was very important. It was intagral to the appearance of the vieled one. 170 171 Sighing I contemplated the strange sky above. I had traveled to many different 172 places, but this one was strangly different. 173 174 I am myself as are many of my companions forward traveling ninth order beings. 175 (Some are 10th order, But I will leave it to you to decide which.) 176 177 The Multiverse you see is made up of atleast 9 dimensions and posibly more. 178 The first three are of course height width and depth. The fourth is 179 forward/backward time travel. (I and most may only travel forward along 180 this line.) 181 182 The 5th is made up of alternate time lines. Remember that cup you broke at 183 some time in the past? Well, somewere out there is a line were you didn't. 184 185 The sixth is made up of totaly different time lines that have the same 186 physical laws as the one we live in. 187 188 The seventh,eighth and ninth are very strange indeed and are the physical 189 'space' in which universes with laws different from minorly to absolutly 190 from those of our own. 191 192 There is of course a paradox or two here. As you might realize there are 193 potentioly millions of me running around. But only one fixed point persona 194 (any one of me that exist in the Multi-verse) can become a forward traveling 195 ninth order being. When one becomes a ninth order being new laws begin 196 to operate which prevent ones duplication. How this is done is beyond 197 even those of the 10th order. 198 199 If and when I progress to the 10th order that will allow another of my fixed 200 point persona to attain the 9th order. 201 202 But time grow short, Let the adevture beg! 203 204 An Astral Dreamer.

That and their schedules are 291 worthless. 292 293 Might not lose the tooth. Hope so anyway, Had it for a long time. No next 294 week for sure. 295 296 Well, on to the story. 297 298 Kurfer called for a game of 7 card. I had to smile a bit at this. I was not 299 sure that he would enjoy (Whoops Kurfur, Sorry!) what the cards would show 300 him. Instead a quickly put that deck away and pulled another from my 301 pocket. 302 303 "Would you like to check the cards?" I asked him. He gave me a look that 304 indicated He'd know if I cheated. The look also told volumes about what 305 any good berserker does to a man who cheats. 306 307 "Well then, I'll shuffle and you cut" I shuffled the cards quickly and 308 efficiantly and Kurfur cut them (No, not with a sword.) 309 310 "Alright, 7 card stud. Aces of course are high." I said dealing the cards 311 out one by one. 312 313 I picked my cards up slowly and looked at them. Not very promising I thought. 314 Suddenly to my side there was a noise. I looked there and was suprised to 315 see a large scally green dragon had appeared. "Aurthur!" I exclaimed. "Good 316 to see you!" Kurfur wasn't taking this to well. "Ale, I see Ale. I think it's 317 the legendary ale beast. Just went over that ridge!" I said pointing behind 318 the disgruntled berserker. (Berserkers are not stupid, But they do have 319 there weakneses.) 320 321 Kurfer took off immediatly chaising after the mythical beast. 322 323 I turned to Aurthur. "To late to deal me in?" he asked. Did you really come 324 to play cards? I replied. 325 326 "Well no, actually I was hoping you'd found a solution to my 'proble,'". 327 328 "No, I'm affraid not. You really shouldn't sneak up on people that way you 329 know." I told him. 330 331 "Oh, I suppose you may be right, But I have to do something to eliminate 332 stereotypes. Now if I were to announce my presence everywere I go How 333 would we ever eliminate this foolish fear of dragons? 334 335 "Fine, But one of these days You're going to be in a good deal of trouble." 336 337 "Cut the debate and deal, I feel lucky!" he replied. 338 339 An Astral Dreamer. 340 &*&*&*&*'s 341 034=Usr:93 DAVE ELKMAN 01/06/89 17:47 Msg:2789 Call:17306 Lines:10 342 $THE VIC-20 CHAMPION$ 343@Hello I'm new here and I would like to get to know everyone. 344 Hello!

Don't know for sure, I've been 838 having Financial Aid problems and am thinking that this might be my last term 839 for awhile. 840 841 I urned to much money last year and because of the0ctupid way they work out 842 wether or not you are a dependent I could not be independent. Thus I got screwe 843 d out of 1/3 of my Aid. And it got here a term late. I'm still in debt up to 844 my ears. Then I get hit by a truck. This is the closest thyng Y've been 845 to depressed in a long time. (earned, not urned :-)) 846 847 The 2500 is the latest Amiga.

Now, as I'm only 16, I'm not looking forward to the possible conflicts 865 in college. From my last message, you know my college wishes. I really hope 866 that they come true, I'm working real hard to make them a reality. 867 By thu way, you have a great sense of humor. I found myself laughing many 868 times while reading your last message to me to which I am responding. It 869 was funny. 870 I don't have much more to say, but I'll be back to see if you do. 871 ************:***:************** THE VISION ********************************** 079=Usr:93 DAVE ELKMAN 01/10/89 20:21 Msg:2837 Call:17457 Lines:5 872 .........................$THE VIC-20 CHAMPION$............................ 873 WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO_OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW 874@Hey ****VISION**** are you going to try and make it to the top. 875 I'm challenging everybody (especially Kurfur Redlig since he made it last time) 876 to be on the top. 080=Usr:24 john croghan 01/10/(9 21:06 Msg:2838 Call:17458 Lines:3 877 help 878 new 879 pops 081=Usr:666 james kolbet 01/10/89 21:21 Msg:2839 Call:17459 Lines:10 880 Hidey Ho Hello! 881 It's me again!
