HE WALKED AROUND THE HORSES

-
Image
This tale is based on an authenticated, documented fact. A man vanished—right out of this world. And where he went— In November 1809, an Englishman named Benjamin Bathurst vanished, inexplicably and utterly. He was en route to Hamburg from Vienna, where he had been serving as his government's envoy to the court of what Napoleon had left of the Austrian Empire. At an inn in Perleburg, in Prussia, while examining a change of horses for his coach, he casually stepped out of sight of his secretary and his valet. He was not seen to leave the inn yard. He was not seen again, ever. At least, not in this continuum....   (From Baron Eugen von Krutz, Minister of Police, to His Excellency the Count von Berchtenwald, Chancellor to His Majesty Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia.) 25 November, 1809 Your Excellency: A circumstance has come to the notice of this Ministry, the significance of which I am at a loss to define, but, since it appears to involve matters of State, both here and abroad, I am...

The Inchcape Rock

    (By east the Isle of May twelve miles from all land in the German seas, lyes a great hidden rock, called Inchcape, very dangerous for navigators, because it is overflowed everie tide. It is reported in old times, upon the saide rock there was a bell, fixed upon a tree or timber, which rang continually, being moved by the sea, giving notice to the saylers of the danger. This bell or clocke was put there and maintained by the Abbott of Aberbrothok, and being taken down by a sea pirate, a yeare thereafter he perished upon the same rocke, with ship and goodes, in the righteous judgement of God)  – STODDART’S Remarks on Scotland.   No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, The Ship was still as she could be; Her sails from heaven received no motion, Her keel was steady in the ocean. Without either sign or sound of their shock, The waves flow’d over the Inchcape Rock; So little they rose, so little they fell, They did not move the Inchcape Bell. The wort...

October 15 1946 Landsberg Prison.

-
Image
  A game of basketball is faked to conceal the noise of the gallows being erected for the major Nazis sentenced to death.  Early in the morning, only an hour or so before his hanging, Hermann Goering removes a glass container from a cut-down rifle cartridge, places it in his teeth and bites down.  This in full view of the guard.  No one has any idea where he got the poison from.  Several people have confessed to giving it to him but they have all been proven liars.  An American officer (Lt. Jack Wheelis) has been accused of procuring the poison for Goering with slightly more probability but this is not proven and the case is weak.  ("The Mystery of Herman Goering's Suicide", Ben Swearingen).      Goering, a person of proven bravery and very great leadership ability, was a moral coward who was the one person who could have removed Hitler and ended the war.  He also signed the final solution order given to Reinhardt ...

Bunny Love 2012

-
Image
  I thought drawing comics would be easy. This was going to be about two young rabbits in love, and they are on a picnic. The girl's father is a retired colonel, and does not think much of Billy. I knew a guy that acted just like this stuck up self absorbed rabbit. All he could think about was his girl, when he wasn't on an ego trip. Suddenly, nature makes an appearance! Thunderstruck. Fortunately not everyone is as dumb as Billy. Billy's skin is so tight he cannot blink and he can barely move his fingers. Must be the wine. It seems that someone is more alert. The lovers are attacked by a werewolf.  This is where I gave up on this.  The silver fork was going to play a role here, but Billy has been bitten.  Colonel Bunny will be in charge of tracking down the were, but his identity will be a shock for everyone.  Billy will have to run for it, he will change next full moon.  At this point I wrote myself into a corner.  As I said earlier- In 2012 I...
