Why, his nose is as pink as paint!” “That’s true,” said Fearenside. “I knows that. And I tell ‘ee what I’m thinking. That marn’s a piebald, Teddy. Black here and white there—in patches. And he’s ashamed of it. He’s a kind of half-breed, and the colour’s come off patchy instead of mixing. I’ve heard of such things before. And it’s the common way with…

rustled by the wind. The silence was deafening. “Well, all right then,” he said, speaking aloud again to make sure that he hadn’t gone deaf. Made uneasy by the abrupt hush, he turned to leave the small clearing the way he had entered. Eric stopped short. A lone figure stood on the path. Was it a trick of the shadows? The woods, darkness, and moonlight conspiring to drive him crazier than he already was? Eric closed his eyes and opened them again trying to focus on the manlike shape. It…

MUTE Introduction This article is a revision of a dissertation I completed in May of 1980 for my DMA at the Eastman School of Music. When I was first looking for a topic, a colleague in the Oklahoma City Symphony jokingly suggested I do a paper on the Horn Mute.

he didn’t have anything to say to me either. From what I’d heard, Niko lived in a cabin with his grandfather, up in the foothills near Mount Herman, and they hunted for their own food and had no electricity and used wild mushrooms for toilet paper. That kind of thing. People called Niko “Brave Hunter Man,” a nickname that fit him just right with Niko “Brave Hunter Man,” a nickname that fit him just right with his perfect posture, his thin, wiry frame, and his whole…

I closed in on the lizardman, my mind registering the burning smell that the scimitar left behind as it sliced through the air merely centimeters before my nose. “...Ha!” With a short shout, I swung my sword horizontally. The sword, now covered in sky-blue light, cut through the thinly protected stomach and bright red light scattered instead of blood. There was a low scream. However, my sword didn't stop. The…

discovered that I did not want to be pregnant. I kept waiting to want to have a baby, but it didn’t happen. And I know what it feels like to want something, believe me. I well know what desire feels like. But it wasn’t there.
