Story: 'The Soul Cages.'

[Mantaspook 14]

More rabid nonsense for you, this is a longer story than normal so grab a cup of tea and some chocolate digestives and settle down, I really don’t recommend reading this just before bedtime unless you are one of those people that actually like nightmares.

 

I thought it might be interesting to tell a story from the perspective of the opposite sex, but for brevity I cut out the thirty six pages describing shopping.

 

For your information

 

Stewart Copeland was the drummer in The Police.

 

This story shares its title with Sting’s 1991 album.

 

If Shoeshine’s moggy avatar disappears this is nothing to do with me.

 

I’d really appreciate it if after reading the story you DO NOT call the police.

 

Any feedback good, bad or indifferent very welcome.

 

Enjoy! The Soul Cages.

I will also change my avatar for a short while, in case the cat disappears and we can't find the blighter!

"northern town with an internet site...."Fame!

Oh mantaspook, I really do like your work. I'm now sat here in a breathless panic hoping that Natalie made it. Damn You!!!!

What've you done to my lovely "Cat" avatar Mantaspook?

 

It'll have to be Mickey and Minnie until the cat comes out of hiding.

[shoeshine 10]

Touch and go there for nearly a full day, Mantaspook.....my cat's back.

 

Mickey and Minnie have been put back in the box for future use.

Damn You!!!!

 

Only my third story and I'm getting rave reviews! Can I use the above quote to promote my book?

[42fta 10]

So long as I can say I knew you before you were famous!

[Mantaspook 14]

That’s INfamous 42fta, INfamous….

 

The books going well, here’s a quick preview of the back cover.

 

“That’s not writing – it’s TYPING!” - Typical rejection slip

 

“He doesn’t need to put more fire in his work, quite the opposite, in fact” -OSCAR WILDE

 

“Damn you!” -42fta

 

“This book is soft, strong and very, very long, please remove the staples to avoid injury” - the usual disclaimer (at the insistence of the publishers lawyers.)

 

“A waste of trees.” -TERESA GREEN

Sorry it took so long to get to this one Mantaspook, but I’m trying to catch up with the back log.

I really did enjoy this one, a fine piece of work, just my sort of thing, it definitely warrants ten house points and you can give the pencils out tomorrow.

I went through it twice and the only two things I found worth commenting on were….

 

1- pyroclastic magma flows.

I assume you mean pyroclastic cloud or flow and not magma

 

2- The End

Did Simon get his comeuppance?

What happened to Nat and her dad?

And what happened to Brono? On his wanderings did he end up on someone’s cdr/w and get used as a frizby?

I take it there will be a sequel?

 

Nice one Mantaspook.
