I read about it in the paper, in the subway, on my way to work. I read it, and I couldn't believe
it, and I read it again. Then perhaps I just stared at it, at the newsprint spelling out his name,
spelling out the story. I stared at it in the swinging lights of the subway car, and in the faces
and bodies of the people, and in my own face, trapped in the darkness which roared
outside.
It was not to be believed and I kept telling myself that, as I walked from the subway station
to the high school. And at the same time I couldn't doubt it. I was scared, scared for Sonny.
He became real to me again. A great block of ice got settled in my belly and kept melting
there slowly all day long, while I taught my classes algebra. It was a special kind of ice. It
kept melting, sending trickles of ice water all up and down my veins, but it never got less.
Sometimes it hardened and seemed to expand until I felt my guts were going to come
spilling out or that I was going to choke or scream. This would always be at a moment when I
was remembering some specific thing Sonny had once said or done.
When he was about as old as the boys in my classes his face had been bright and open,
there was a lot of copper in it; and he'd had wonderfully direct brown eyes, and great
gentleness and privacy. I wondered what he looked like now. He had been picked up, the
evening before, in a raid on an apartment down-town, for peddling and using heroin.
I couldn't believe it: but what I mean by that is that I couldn't find any room for it anywhere
inside me. I had kept it outside me for a long time. I hadn't wanted to know. I had had
suspicions, but I didn't name them, I kept putting them away. I told myself that Sonny was
wild, but he wasn't crazy. And he'd always been a good boy, he hadn't ever turned hard or
evil or disrespectful, the way kids can, so quick, so quick, especially in Harlem. I didn't want
to believe that I'd ever see my brother going down, coming to nothing, all that light in his
face gone out, in the condition I'd already seen so many others. Yet it had happened and
here I was, talking about algebra to a lot of boys who might, every one of them for all I knew,
be popping off needles every time they went to the head. Maybe it did more for them than
algebra could.
I was sure that the first time Sonny had ever had horse, he couldn't have been much older
than these boys were now. These boys, now, were living as we'd been living then, they were
growing up with a rush and their heads bumped abruptly against the low ceiling of their
actual possibilities. They were filled with rage. All they really knew were two darknesses, the
darkness of their lives, which was now closing in on them, and the darkness of the movies,
which had blinded them to that other darkness, and in which they now, vindictively,
dreamed, at once more together than they were at any other time, and more .

Oysters
I NEED no great effort of memory to recall, in every detail, the rainy autumn evening when I stood with my father in one of the more frequented streets of Moscow, and felt that I was gradually being overcome by a strange illness. I had no pain at all, but my legs were giving way under me, the words stuck in my throat, my head slipped weakly on one side . . . It seemed as though, in a moment, I must fall down and lose consciousness.
If I had been taken into a hospital at that minute, the doctors would have had to write over my bed: Fames, a disease which is not in the manuals of medicine.
Beside me on the pavement stood my father in a shabby summer overcoat and a serge cap, from which a bit of white wadding was sticking out. On his feet he had big heavy goloshes. Afraid, vain man, that people would see that his feet were bare under his goloshes, he had drawn the tops of some old boots up round the calves of his legs.
This poor, foolish, queer creature, whom I loved the more warmly the more ragged and dirty his smart summer overcoat became, had come to Moscow, five months before, to look for a job as copying-clerk. For those five months he had been trudging about Moscow looking for work, and it was only on that day that he had brought himself to go into the street to beg for alms. (there is a deep love between generation,
Before us was a big house of three storeys, adorned with a blue signboard with the word "Restaurant" on it. My head was drooping feebly backwards and on one side, and I could not help looking upwards at the lighted windows of the restaurant. Human figures were flitting about at the windows. I could see the right side of the orchestrion, two oleographs, hanging lamps . . . . Staring into one window, I saw a patch of white. The patch was motionless, and its rectangular outlines stood out sharply against the dark, brown background. I looked intently and made out of the patch a white placard on the wall. Something was written on it, but what it was, I could not see. . .
For half an hour I kept my eyes on the placard. Its white attracted my eyes, and, as it were, hypnotised my brain. I tried to read it, but my efforts were in vain.
At last the strange disease got the upper hand.
The rumble of the carriages began to seem like thunder, in the stench of the street I distinguished a thousand smells. The restaurant lights and the lamps dazzled my eyes like lightning. My five senses were overstrained and sensitive beyond the normal. I began to see what I had not seen before.
"Oysters . . ." I made out on the placard.
A strange word! I had lived in the world eight years and three months, but had never come across that word. What did it mean? Surely it was not the name of the restaurant-keeper? But signboards with names on them always hang outside, not on the walls indoors!
"Papa, what does 'oysters' mean?" I asked in a husky voice, making an effort to turn my face towards my father.
My father did not hear. He.

“YES!” I replied.
Anthony went on to tell me that in his own journey...
He discovered how to trigger an energy “switch” that was much faster and simpler than the ancient chakra teachings.
He told me about how he came across an ancient Tibetan prophecy called “The Tiger Prophecy.”

The Unusual Bus Journey
1. Splash. Splash. Splash. Crunch. Splash. Splash. Splash. Crunch.
It was rather mesmerising listening to my own footsteps, wondering what tiny ecosystem I may have
just destroyed every time my foot hit the ground. I didn’t think it was nice for tiny bugs to have
giant feet invading their home, and I wondered how many of the tiny creatures I had destroyed in
my sixteen years of walking the earth.
Not that I liked bugs. At all. But still, it was interesting to think about how much the human
population has destroyed the life of so many creatures, and feel no guilt. Animals have lives too,
they were just made to be different from us, and humans took the opportunity to rise above them
all as the ‘owners’.
But what if animals did walk about like us, talking, thinking like us? What if they were seen as equal,
able to wear clothes, own houses, everything else that humans are, for some reason, able to do?
But despite my imagination of this happening, it could never happen, because that was the way the
world worked.
2. Splash. Splash. Splash. Crunch.
And so my footsteps on the wet pavement brought me back to reality, and I remembered why I was
even walking along this wet, lonely path. The simple answer? To catch a bus. The long answer? To
catch a bus to go somewhere... No, sorry, bad joke there. To catch a bus to go home, a small town
several hours away.
It was pouring down with rain, which might explain where the splashes from my footsteps came
from. I was also walking through a wood, in the middle of autumn, meaning that several twigs and
branches littered the path, explaining the occasional crunch. It was a short walk to the bus station,
and one that should cause no excitement whatsoever.
And it didn’t.
Nope. Instead, I soon found myself standing under the shelter of a glass, modern bus-shelter. I sat
down on the damp bench, glancing down at puddle on the stony ground, seeing my reflection. Hazel
eyes stared back at me, set upon a fairly round, masculine face under short, ordinary, brown hair.
3. I then returned to my feet, unable to stay sitting down in one place for longer than a minute,
especially not on a wet seat. I turned around to look at the back of a bus shelter, seeing now the
reflection of my body in the glass. I glanced pitifully at how short my reflection was, just like me,
barely at five feet, which is very short for a sixteen-year old boy.
I then lowered my eyes to my deep blue t-shirt, in which the slight bulge of my stomach prevented
the top from being flat. I wasn’t fat, just... Cuddly, as my mum would tell me. I then finally looked
to the bus schedule which was hanging down from the roof of the shelter, and looked at the
schedule.
[bq]4:02 - Alton
4:12 – Honevray[/bq]
I glanced at the watch on my wrist, and the digits: “4:01” stared back at me. I had one minute
before my bus arrived, and just as that realisation passed through my mind, I heard the sound of an
engine, and the digits on my wrist changed to “4:02”.
4. I raised my eyebrows at the perfect timing of the bus, and glanced to the left to see the shape of a
small, yellow bus heading towards me. The annoying thing about this bus service was that there was
no indication on the bus as to where it was going, but luckily, the bus always got the time right, so I
never had to worry about getting the wrong one, as long as I was there at the right time.
5. The yellow bus soon came to a halt in front of me, and the doors opened. Looking down at my feet
to make sure I didn’t trip, I climbed up onto the bus, hearing the doors closing behind me.
7. A... Weird turtle thing stared back at me, looking confused. I blinked. He blinked. Silence.
...
...
“Well-“ “What-“
We both cut off. I blushed slightly. “Well-“ “What-“
8. The driver sighed in annoyance, before quickly snapping, “Well, whatcha standing there like tha’ for?
Go take a seat!” He had a thick accent which reminded me of a pirate
9. I quickly headed to the back of the bus, taking the first seat that took my eye.
14. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and I fell sideward of the seat, now seeing black.
Cats don’t talk. Cats don’t wear clothes. Turtle things don’t drive buses. What the heck kind of bus
is this, anyway? The cat was blue and white... It had a... too-friendly face, as if it wanted to just
swallow me whole in his happiness... Oh no... I’m not in his stomach, am I? It is dark... Oh wait, my
eyes are closed. Whoops.
As I opened my eyes, I found myself staring yet again at the freaky cat. Darn it.
15. However long later, they opened slightly again, this time to find no annoying cat staring at me.
16. I sighed in relief, before hearing the driver, and quickly closed my eyes again, “Is he alrigh’, Rover?”
“I don’t know...” That was the cat... Rover? “He passed out... twice. How long till we get to
Honevray, Kapp’n?”
Honevray? What? I recognised the name, before it clicked.
4:02 – Alton
4:12 – Honevray
I’d caught the wrong bus.
“Ah...” Kapp’n replied, sighing deeply, “He mus’ be one of them humans who don’t know about us.
Bu’ that’s odd... Not many humans are able ta even see the bus... Tho’ Josh could...” I listened to
the conversation in confusion. Who the cheese was Josh?
17. “Hm...” Rover continued, sounding worried, “Do you think he’s moving to Honevray? I mean... Josh
is the only human there... Maybe he just got the wrong bus?”
“Probably. But you kno’ the drill. All humans that recognise us must live in Honevray, so our secret
don’t ge’ out...”
...What.
“Yeah... But he looks so friendly... This isn’t fair, I mean, Josh was looking for somewhere to live.
This guy probably has a home and family.”
“If someone from the outside world hears ‘bout us, we’re finished. Done.”
“But... Can’t we just knock him out and throw him off the bus?”
WHAT? Suddenly, the bus swerved and the hooting of car horns sounded, followed by the screeches
of breaks. Oh darn it, they were going to do it.
“Holy cow, hold your horses!” Kapp’n snapped, “Wha’s gotten into ya, Rover? We can’ do tha’!” This
guy’s accent was beginning to annoy me.
“S-Sorry! I was just... suggesting... We shouldn’t ruin his life like this.”
“We have to. It’s tha rules.”
18. I shifted slightly, and the conversation fell into silence as I opened my eyes, completely confused. I
then saw two furry feet slowly appear in front of me, and looked up to see Rover staring down at me
with worry. I pushed myself onto the chair opposite, staring at him with slight fear.
19. “Hello...” Rover greeted me with unease, unsure of whether to step forward or retreat, “I’m... Um...
I’m sorry for startling you like that... This... This must be a shock.”
20. I blinked several times, opening my mouth to speak, “Urgug.” I frowned at my own voice, before
repeating myself correctly, “Hi...” I shook my head, before resigning himself to the weird animals. I
already knew this wasn’t a dream, I’d just have to face this weird... Deformed reality. “S-Sorry for...
Passing out... I’m... Not used to seeing cats, uh, wearing clothes and, um, talking...”
21. “No, no! I understand...” I noticed the smile had vanished from Rover’s face, it was replaced with
worry and uncertainty, “So... Who are you?”
I sighed, making eye contact with Rover, before saying weakly, “I’m... Louis.”
22. “Cool!” The smile was back on Rover’s face, but I could easily see that it was fake, “I’m Rover!”
And this was how my crazy new life began...
