October  December  October  December  October  December  Releases 1998:

466: "Chapel Mornings" by Hedge.  At night, you dream. In the morning, 
you open your eyes; and usually, you get out of bed. Day in and day out. 
But all mornings are not like this. Some mornings, you lack the 
sufficient motivation to do anything else but to stay in bed, ponder 
and sort out some unfinished business. 

467: "One Night In The Asshole Saloon" by Max West.  Our own master of 
bizarre and grotesque stories will set you shivering, gasping with 
terror and gaping with wonder. Prepare yourself for the night of your 
life. Welcome to the home of entertaining violence: the Asshole Saloon!

468: "Instant Witness" by Bravemoore.  It is a fact: the question 'who 
watches the watchmen?' is no longer a genuine question; technology of 
our modern day and age makes us all watchmen. But it is also true that 
technological 'progress' cannot be stopped. If you think you have seen 
or predicted everything there is or will be, examine this file.

469: "Stay & Reality - Two Poems" by Pam Sanders. A pair of short poems 
on the subject of personal relations and inner conflicts - straight 
from the heart.

470: "Bio Hazard" by The GNN.  I warn you! This is a true story! The 
end of the world is near! Take precautions before it is too late! First, 
read this file to find out what the hell the problem is. Secondly, do 
not hey renegade phone company police blast alarm.

471: "The Voice Of Destiny" by Michael Berman.  The producer of this text 
has informed us that he is unsure of what kind of genre it belongs to. 
His own suggestion is 'ironic mystique'. The uXu does not know either, 
but we like the text anyhow. It is... hmm... very special, so to say.

472: "A Man And His Cat" by Hedge.  The other evening Hedge was on his 
way home from work, as usual using public transportation. During this 
trip, he involved himself in a conversation with someone who never took 
showers (but managed to stay clean), ate food from a plate on the floor 
(without losing dignity) and attended lectures at the university 
(without being able to open doors). Wonder what kind of person this is? 

473: "Nataraja & Silence - Two Poems" by Ahila.  Our second poet from
West Malaysia turned after investigations out to be the wife of the 
first one (Robert James Berry, UXU-458). As before, we are very 
impressed. If you are into poetry you will not be disappointed.

474: "Memento Mori" by Blackfire.  Death is a lonely business, someone 
once said (and this time I in fact remember who it was: Ray Bradbury). 
But it is not. When we die, we will be in company of at least one. This 
story is about what will happen if you dare to confront that person 
with a unusual question...

475: "Insignificant Showdown In Central Europe" by The GNN.  The world 
is not run by weapons, energy or money. Indeed, there is a war out 
there, a world war, but it is not about who has got the most bullets. 
It is actually all about - love. Here is a tale from this war, told by 
someone who deserves the Purple Heart.

476: "Random Thoughts Of Bob Slack" by Bob Slack.  Existential problems 
strikes us all now and then (yes, we assume that the readers of this 
e-zine do think at least twice). Questions such as 'what is the meaning 
of life' are hard to answer. Nevertheless Bob Slack thinks he actually 
has a kind of answer. Judge for yourself.

477: "I Am Alex" by Rich Logsdon.  (Rich is not Alex.) Alex is someone 
you certainly would not like to encounter, especially not at midnight 
during a full moon. Alex is a monster, your worst nightmare. And in this 
file he tells all the grisly details - to his distressed psychiatrist.

478: "A Trailer Park Fairy Tale" by M. James Dinniman.  Once upon a    
time there was a male prostitute who lived in a trailer. Early one
morning he was woken up by someone knocking at his door. That was the
beginning of a day he would never forget. The moral of this absurd text
noir is that you never know how things will turn out in the end.

479: "Heading For A Dark Future" by Blackfire.  George Orwell was only
partially right, claims the author of this file. 1984 did not become the 
1984 Orwell imagined, because technology had at the time not come far 
enough to create the evil, controlling system he described. But do not 
relax... Around the corner lurks Big Brother of our time: Microsoft. 

480: "Private Sphere" by Speed Devil Show.  This is a somewhat brutal 
and violent story, even though no one actually gets hurt, and even 
though it describes a kind of paradise. If you are easily upset, pretty 
please do not read this text. Thank you.

481: "A Happy Christmas Story" by Max West.  What is a traditional xmas
holiday to you? We all know it is not the same for everyone, but did
you know that some people do not even know what they are celebrating?
On the other hand, they do not miss out on much...

482: "uXu Index #32" by The GNN. Yes, this is the index, as usual. And
it contains the usual stuff, as usual. The usual stuff is: list of new
and old writers, as usual, current files, as usual, long descriptions of 
files, as usual, list of distribution sites, as usual, and info on how 
to contact the uXu. As usual.

           [#482 also includes an index of the latest uXu-S series]
