Modern Frontiers, J. E. Stromberg Apr 2015

Modern Frontiers, J. E. Stromberg

Manuscripts

The most common grievance of our generation is that of the lack of frontiers. Our forefathers had unknown lands to develop, unknown oceans to cross, and unknown lands to civilize. Our complaint is that everything worth doing has already been done. With few exceptions, the whole world has been explored and settled and more or less civilized; our oceans have been charted; our industries have been highly developed. Where do we go now?


Traveling In A Strange Country, Roseline Intrater Apr 2015

Traveling In A Strange Country, Roseline Intrater

Manuscripts

Which is the road to Quebec?" I inquired. The children looked at each other and giggled. "Nous ne parlons pas anglais" they chorused. I tried again. "Quel est le chemin a Quebec" I offered hopefully. The answer was nothing my high school French teacher had prepared me to understand. For the first time I had an inkling of how it feels to be a foreigner in a strange country and hopelessly lost besides...

Cabbage Stew, William Griffith Apr 2015

Cabbage Stew, William Griffith

Manuscripts

I pulled my left arm from beneath the warm pile of blankets and coverlets. With small forefinger I touched the crystalline sheet of ice that covered the small window above my bed. The contact was strange: along my arm the minute, pale hairs rose with the goose pimples; a queer trembling passed through my body; my small bed trembled; and the hairs on my head seemed to want to pull from their roots. I quickly put my arm back under the comforting warmth of the blankets and pressed my nose into the pillow...

No Cause For Alarm, Mrs. Temple, Barbara Sims Apr 2015

No Cause For Alarm, Mrs. Temple, Barbara Sims

Manuscripts

...Some clays later, kind Providence saw fit to afflict me with tonsilitis, and by the time I had recovered, the reverberations of the incident had endled and so had my mother's quest for culture.


The City, Roger Chittick Apr 2015

The City, Roger Chittick

Manuscripts

Slowly, inevitably, as out of a moving mist, he could begin to distinguish form. They blurred and retreated, then advanced again, gradually becoming more distinct. He was experiencing things as a man just reviving from unconsciousness after a hard blow on the head, or as a man who has drunk too much might slowly and with effort attempt to establish once again a mental contact with the world of time and space. The again, perhaps this was not it at all; perhaps this slow revelation was really taking years; perhaps he was passing through the first years of life and …


Introduction To Death, Joan Owen Apr 2015

Introduction To Death, Joan Owen

Manuscripts

Death meets each of us some time. But perhaps, the most vivid memory of death springs from the first introduction. I shall never forget the little duck named Ivory, who acquainted me with death.

The Linguistic Adventures Of Leo And Neo, Kenneth Hopkins Apr 2015

The Linguistic Adventures Of Leo And Neo, Kenneth Hopkins

Manuscripts

The problems forced upon civilization by the development of languages are numerous, baffling, and elusive of solution. These problems, furthermore, have never been comprehensively catalogued, and thus have escaped detection by the masses who labor on, under the resulting handicaps, oblivious of the fact that their every action is molded, inhibited, guided and otherwise affected by language...

Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe Apr 2015

Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe

Manuscripts

In "The Lamb" from Songs of Innocence, William Blake captured the sensitive imaginativeness, the knowledge and the awareness of childhood in a filigree of delicate language, verse form, and understanding. He lifted the veil of childhood and revealed that period of life in which imagination, not yet restricted, gives the child a pure understanding of God an his relations to Him and the the world about him...

The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney Apr 2015

The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney

Manuscripts

In the very darkest corner, behind the davenport, there sat a little ice cube. Tears were dripping slowly, monotonously, hopelessly from its block-shaped face. The eerie moonlight peeped around the deserted room and revealed the most pitiful expression one could ever witness en the face of an ice cube. And the reason? The little ice cube was dying. Some careless reveler had flipped it out of a glass in one horrifying fling, and there it lay, in a state of inertia, awaiting the hideous death of an ice cube. Slowly, atom by atom, it was disappearing.


After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis Apr 2015

After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis

Manuscripts

For a brilliant satire on humanity, I can think of no better author to turn to than Aldous Huxley. His rhetoric is flawless, his characters unbelievably typical, and his satire tinged with just the right amount of reality to render it plausible. Born in England, Mr. Huxley has no more mercy on his own countrymen than he has on those of other nationalities. His satire is universal and completely nonpartisan.


William, Nancy Hendricks Apr 2015

William, Nancy Hendricks

Manuscripts

The gravel roads were just beginning to thaw on that early spring day, and each step we took splashed mud at my boots. Some early robins and some perennial sparrows were doing aerial acrobatics in celebration of the new season. William's eyes, however, were not following the birds' gyrations; nor were mine. While he was staring thoughtfully at the road, I was watching the attitude of his ears--watching because his ears are often indicative of his thoughts. At the time, as though he were mildly tolerant of the situation, they were in a reassuringly lax position, neither upright nor flat, …


Arthur Guy Funkhouser, Portrait Of A Doctor, Dave Berry Apr 2015

Arthur Guy Funkhouser, Portrait Of A Doctor, Dave Berry

Manuscripts

The wind blew across the glazed surface of the frozen lake, intent upon entering a small cabin on the northern shore. After circling through the trees, glistening from the clean, white snow, the howling messenger of Aeolus descended, sending a wintry blast of air through a slightly opened window.
