Progression LITERATURE: The literature contains DENOUEMENT:

Introduction of a new literary genre

What you hear, read, say, look, taste, feel remember, and experiences affect our understanding. It is "truth" as we perceive it. Remember, mainly produces attitudes and feelings associated with "true" knowledge about past events. These experiences affect how we experience and interpret the present – especially if a past event is somehow related to a current or upcoming event. For example, if you had been bitten by a white dog in the past, seeing the same white dog turn can generate an automatic reaction, such as fear or hostility, although the dog seems now friendly to others, who then can not understand your fear response. Your perception of reality is different, although you and the other both presented with the same stimulus and information at this time.

In fact, what much of us could believe to be a 'fresh' experience is likely to be based on many past experiences which may or may not be directly related. A beautiful woman, never before seen a man can attract, has no effect on him, or repel, depending on previous experience / inexperience. First impressions are often based on past experiences, learned prejudices or instinct: a classic study in Scientific American showed pictures of the same male face, but with different amounts of hair that respondents. Hairiness varied from completely bald for a long beard and long hair, complete with mustache. Respondents were asked to make faces, they looked in order, according to attractiveness. it shaved face, without the mustache and neatly trimmed hair, was chosen as the most attractive. Total hairiness and total baldness was lowest on the list. Moreover, the presence a mustache reduced confidence. faces presented were identical in every other respect. Progression from stage to stage of hairiness versus baldness was assessed as a factor for attractiveness, but testers did not see his face progress in cumulative stages (progression).

Progression in the literature (cumulative stages revelation of facts) is what makes reading enjoyable: we are not sure of the outcome and what we think is true may evolve in different directions, depending on the information provided. Indeed ensure different readers different reactions. A fine novel captures attention and interest to most readers.

Real world experience is not generally as completely as one crafted novel. Modern writers obviously reflect the chaos of our new modern world in what for convenience term I chaotic literature, white noise literature, with varying degrees of deconstruction or minimalist influence. The result is uncomfortable for most readers, who must deal with the same stressors in real life. Time, for example, is short and many of the most popular works such as Stephen King's works are eagerly read, because a completely different world is scattered out to enjoy and delight, but macabre. Fantasy and science fiction works have their loyal followings, too. In all write the truth 'is important – a guideline in the fog, a face in the mirror, or a beacon in the night. But 'Truth' seen through a mist of prejudice, we meet in life experiences over time. Truth 'influence: among other possible consequences and reactions to his revelations, emotions and thinking can be stimulated or depressed. At any moment, what is perceived in the real world as 'truth' can suddenly change.

Ian FA Bell describes Tony Tanner's approach to this phenomenon in his introduction to The Tanners American Mystery:

"Tanner sees the dematerialization of the language of American literature, the move beyond the structure of binary opposites, as a continuous process of self-invention. This step involves literary strategies transformation: the construction of ontological identity, character and forms representation. As Tanner observers … whose life was in "flux" or constant "metamorphosis" and then write should be the same. As Emerson says: "In early America, were not just words, but the contradiction of the word."

Bell goes on to describe Tanner analysis of Hawthorne language in The Blithedale Romance:

"… The Blithedale Romance is not not ask what constitutes the real, much less real, which are only really "known by the conviction that you have not got it." As an American romantic, however, Hawthorne may indicate that the knowledge that reality is not is real could be the start of a real experience. Tanner track program files between fact and fiction, forgery and real money as a means of determining the "true" copy of "creating" the uncreated conscience of one's race or forging money, "both" counterfeiters' work by putting untruths / fictions in circulation. "

And finally, in his study of Melville The Confidence Man, Bell notes, what Tanner says about "Reversibility" and "substitution":

"Melville's novel of confidence in the new world in America, shows how "Reversibility" can be re-cast as "substitution." This term, as Tanner borrows from Thomas Mann, registers "the numerous and large ontological dubiety of the self "in a world where identity is determined by the constructivist nature of language that is constantly being reinterpreted."

Whether it is Newspeak, Orwellian style, or Spin City, whether it is a novelty or a personal experience, above all, we are relying on personal experience and as the Voice of Authority. Anyone with intelligence, plus sufficient interest in the case, may ultimately recognize spins and spirals in the official version of the Kennedy assassination. Calling people who discard the official version "conspiracy theorists" while supporters of the official version "assassination analysts' exemplifies the polarization that can occur in searching for the 'truth'.

Christopher Sharrett reviews Art Simon's book, Dangerous Knowledge (about truth and imagery in the JFK Assassination debate) with some bitter insights:

"The endless debate … came to constitute an" epistemological crisis ", each official and nonofficial study disproved a previous claim truth, interpretation and formed a huge Moebius Strip, that traps the political life and makes the truth even indeterminant but continues to provoke discussion. "

Sharrett notes a certain lack of moral center in this twisting and turnings of the truth:

"Simon invokes Michel Foucault's observation that" Power has its principle not so much a person as in a concerted manner distribution of bodies, surfaces, lights, gazes. "This also persuasive, blunt, and dry remark is characteristic of much postmodern discourse … Foucault's coupling of sight to power is not the sum and substance of Simon's method, but it does little to turn this work into an industrious, eloquent, but working motion lacked a real political and moral center. "

Although official versions may be abandoned when necessary: sufficient time has now passed the Tonkin Gulf Incident which gave an excuse to bomb Hanoi, is no longer presented as "factual truth." Evidence suggests the incident never occurred, but it's too late for Hanoi and for many Americans who have not seen the new evidence was U.S. ships fired in the Gulf of Tonkin. 'Truth' for those who have come or noticed the new evidence differ from those who did not, and both groups will claim that they have "the truth". Progression of knowledge from the previous position to the latter was incomplete. Incomplete release of "truth" occurs all the time, creating divisions and conflicts. In real life 'truth' is almost a commodity.

Literature can be replenished and reach new heights if the principles of progression and perceived 'truth' is properly developed innovative writer. In the examples presented in the small sample collection of short stories set in this paper, the potential range of progression literature (genre could also be called literature denouement) can stun – Mind-blowing and i9t can happen in "real life" as well. Films by Tarantino's Pulp Fiction exhibit progression / denouement qualities. A known killer being dead, is certainly very alive after his death, with incredible power. For patrons in a restaurant, terrorized by robbers, they will never know that one of their "saviors" later died, or that the two men had entered the restaurant to eat after cleaning a car full of Gore and pieces of brain. Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire brought the same approach from stage to film, we slowly realize that "truth" is never fully aware of Stella, whose passion is manipulated by Stanley, her brutal husband.

Much can be done to fully develop the new genre. The short-short story collection is shown here presenting controversial religious experiences and interpretations, as felt or reported of persons of widely different conditions. Time can change the 'reality' and 'truth' to the reader or for those in the stories as more information is obtained., information may be false, but leads to wrong conclusions, which may or may not change others' perception of what is' true ' or new information can reveal a 'new' or unsuspected truth, or confirm a suspicion. Everything is possible, for "truth" is what is perceived by the individual, or accepted due to the voting authority. Those affected by the 'truth' can create or live in completely different universes, depending on the individual, to say nothing of the substitute experience felt by the reader or viewer (via the literature, movies, video games, etc.).

Furthermore, the writer-as-truth-teller present the "truth" more vivid and more emotional consequences involved arts and sciences, which bring 'truth' in proper relation to the right and wrong, with the potential to shape a moral perspective that a simple can dry recounts events that do not, and thus reveal a social aspect and interpretation of "truth" that delivers a personal emphasis on the individual. Engels, commenting on the impact of Balzac's Comédie humaine, observed how Balzac delivered "a most wonderfully realistic history of French society … from which, even in economic detail (eg re-arrangement of property and movable property after the revolution) I have learned more than from all the declared historians together economists and statisticians in the period. "

A simple progression example is to reveal how two people meet after many years absence. They assess the differences now present in the past. These can be both mentally and physically. What if a person is simply pretending, is not as he seems, or maybe not the person from the past at all, but and are simply masquerading as such? Would / will / the second person ever find out? Maybe, maybe not. Denouement the reader can uplifting, shocking, disappointing, etc., not to mention the reactions can be created by the author as the story progresses. Truth becomes an object in itself, with its own life, its own history, generated within and outside of progression, and can not be 'True' after all. But "truth" may be more important than 'reality' of political, practical or social reasons. 'Truth' ends is what we finally believe. If our information is still weak, or even supporting facts accumulated, the 'truth' is unchanged, unless conflicting information enters that is accepted by the recipient. And what experience only contradictory, inaccurate information in the outbreak? We are all aware of the effects of advertising and propaganda. Therefore, 'Truth' is a hostage to fortune.

Progression could highlight how people change over time – maybe a sinner can really be a saint! Yet a kind of progression involves revelation when a character is developed in the reader through actions, events and so on, but then unravels or morphs because to what we learn next. There is always the chance that what we think we know is not real. Dialogue – actual conversations – can reveal 'the truth' – and can be persuasive – If 'truth' is being fully revealed. What if it is not? I use the example of a person believed to be a scammer out to be a saint, but from the world in the news after learning of his suicide (which is not presented here) as a man with a checkered reputation who took "the coward way out." Read the short stories yourself, then decide how cruel you can do the news reflect the "truth" as the official version would have it. There are two 'saints' the short story collection: progressive literature tells us much more than meets the eye.

The literature of progression, just like in real life, "the truth" is actually the eye that sees, so I hope I will be forgiven to acquire cliché short story collection. In examples of progression, which I choose to presentation, brevity is used – but I emphasize that the goal is not to be gimmicky or to play tricks on the reader, or need to do the map of the talented author has now a tool of power. I propose a respectful treatment of indigenous perspectives in the foundation stories of progression literature which they can behave wonderfully, in skilled hands that perspective, as shown or revealed or appreciated later.

1. Yet my thesis material included several foundation stories in the genre, which is anchored my ideas to progression literature short stories
2. Think about the ramifications of knowing a 'Truth' – unless the dog now treat you in a friendly manner. Where is your 'truth' to others?

The literature of progression invoking past events, but can now address a second part of another story entirely, and 'you' can be a different situation, for others, your story about a biting dog seems to be quite meaningless if this dog is known for being friendly to everyone. And so on. .

1. Why?
2. Thus untruth or misconceptions or misinterpretations can occur before or after the offer of 'truth', and we may be unable to to distinguish which version / experiences are 'true', although a story in this case involves misperceptions and conclusions based on misunderstandings and experiences that were "untrue", but seemed 'true'.
3. Denouement can not produce 'truth' because of the large amount of contradictory statements, indicating the 'truth'.

There is element of voyeur or rogue involved in writing non-fiction novel, in comparison to our concerns, and the historical characters are fleshed out fictionally to improve or meet a stereotype originally created to promote an official version, which is controversial. Particularly disturbing is when the stereotype is advanced to the 'truth' that the new fictionalized treatment. If the author is indeed aware of the historical person necessarily so dependent on what is left of 'truth' in the Official Version [or other extant] records, the 'new truth' can be the final and lasting impression. For example, DeLillo's Libra presents Don a cold-blooded view of Oswald's treatment of his wife, based on her reports. brutal glimpse DeLillo gives us of Oswald's treatment of his wife is burned into memory: what Oswald told me about his struggles with his wife has no place in the version of "truth" DeLillo created.

Yet denouement literature in progression format that can wrest – even from a DeLillo opus – a new and relevant perspective. David Foster Wallace summarizes the challenges, the author of great literature in today's rapidly changing world where entertainment is cheap, easily accessible and well designed:

"(There is) a contempt for the reader, an idea that literature current marginalization is the reader's sake. The project, which is worth try to [do] … reader confront things rather than ignore them, but doing it in such a way that it is also pleasant to read … Part of it has to do with living in a time when there is so much entertainment available … and figure out how the drama will detour its territory by the kind of era. You can try to confront what it is that makes fiction magical in a way that other forms of art and entertainment are not. And to find out how fiction can engage a reader a large part of whose sensitivity has been formed by pop culture, without simply becoming more shit in the pop culture machine. It is incredibly difficult and confusing and scary, but it is nice. There is so much mass commercial entertainment that is so good and so smooth, it is something I do not think any other generation has faced. It is what it means to be a writer now. "

Progression literature can be exciting and relevant. It can do many things: turn the reader's perspective on its head, to enhance understanding of human nature, to restore truth to the story – depending on the author's intentions and abilities. "The literature denouement" or "progressive literature" in more skilled hands than mine and maybe give a revitalization of contemporary literature, with new depth and excitement in his inimitable approach to needlework.

================= An example of the Progression Literature in fiction:

Evangelist (Story # 1)

 

 

The holy city … a battered fortress of gray and brown and white stone blocks, where two thousand years ago Roman soldiers marched Jews in Temple City and slaughtered them … where a thousand years ago the Crusaders had come with their banners and crosses emblazoned, announces "Convert or die!" for Muslims, and even dying, overwhelmed by those who shouted "Death to the infidels! "And when Jesus, the incredible patience, hung from the cross, when a single tank could have saved him from anguish indescribable … But he was love itself, and captured all of these things.

So thought Jeremiah Mosley – pale face, ascetic form, trembling in his own exquisite anguish because he was – after the major economic victims – are actually present in Christ's own town – and Christ can come back anytime, as a bolt from heaven, it would be so sudden – Christ would separate the wheat from the chaff and save the believers, and he, Jeremiah, ready for it? He had come to Jerusalem to find a saint advice, to seek, also a sure sign that he really had been called to be an evangelist – to spread the word, Good News – anywhere he could be sent by God, the living God, not some fairy tale character, but God Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who had come to him in a dream, and touched him on the shoulder and told him "I love you."

He had spent much of his savings to get this fine room overlooking so much excellent, if war-torn city. porters were civilians, although they had giggled when they saw his battered suitcases and the way he kept his head down and prayed just under his breath. For them, the young man with black curly hair was just another fanatic on a pilgrimage. When they brought bread and wine into his room as he wanted, they were surprised by the size of the tip he gave them. They did not know there was almost everything he had left in the world.

"I am in your hands," Jeremiah whispered poured the dark wine in two crystal goblets. One for Jesus, one for him. He broke the unleavened bread into two halves and placed the broken bread in the center of the little table with her two glasses of wine on both sides. The white cloth was clean linen. With a explosion of emotions, Jeremiah fell on the floor and whispered sharply, "Come, come, Lord Jesus! Only take a sip of wine, so I can know you hear me and that you accept me? "

He waited. Sun down, sending tremors, ghostly shadows of the room. Blue mist-filled valley below, and red-orange clouds shone as the sun rose Down, Down … and still he waited. Sweat beaded on his forehead. - Please! — I must know it is what you want! — It was such a small evidence he sought, like the wool that Gideon threw down, asking only for a bit of dew on it, with no one on earth around. A sip of wine when he was not looking …. Was tempting God? … It is a humble request … just take a sip of wine, excellent sir! – Please! —

In the windowsill when the sun a white dove flew down, sat a moment looking into the room with his sad supplicant, and then, with a slight dip in its beak, and a low COO, it pulled a feather from her breast and dropped it on the windowsill. On ivory white shaft was a single drop of dark blood. The wind whispered away feathers with the evening wind. dove dipped her beak in a courtship gesture, then flew away with a spin in his soft, white wings.

Jeremiah was never quite sure he saw it.

================================================

He was wearing a two thousand U.S. dollars linen suit, handmade for him by one of the worlds best custom tailors – he had given only pure white linen – and the glittering diamonds in his hand proved that he was bravely prosperity to the people. Outside his dressing room, as Jeremiah finished grooming his hair exactly as it must be combed, he could hear the choir across the street ended hymns, he had chosen to awaken people from their stupor of hope and praise to God. His black hair had thinned and was not as curly as it once had been, but implants had directed receding hairline: He looked maybe ten years younger than he really was, and, with luck, he would outlive all his critics, by God!

"Mr. Mosley!" came his publicist's voice, "it is time! "

"Just a minute, Rachel," he replied.

Rachel was so effective. He needed it. He was such a slacker, Such a romantic. He almost put his Rolex, then decided against it: too flashy. With a spray of Parisian Cologne to each wrist and a quick look in the mirror to make certain his necktie was in perfect order, Jeremiah paused to look at the considerations: — Want to buy a used car from this man? – He asked of himself. His critics said they knew better.

They said that he was biased … that he stole from the people that filled his box with their dollars and threw their prayer requests. This healings did not take place. The Holy Spirit was not a holy spirit, just a crafty way intended to separate the gullible from their money.

He did not know how else to get people to listen, except put on a show to get their attention. If it was so wrong, why was there were twenty thousand people out there waiting for him to come out and help them transform their lives (as if he could do such things!). It was God who had done this. As always, he felt himself shaking because he was really, deep down, ultimately a shy man who would have preferred a quiet life in a monastery. Instead, show must go on. And on.

– Please, God! - He whispered to the image in the mirror. – Please! - It was his only prayer, just a choked exclamation of half-stifled hopes that some of the people out there would be healed, would have their lives changed because of God's hand moving among them. Ah, the Hand of God – Jesus!-It He managed to say before his throat closed up with terror. Over all those people again! He had seen so many in wheelchairs come, let disappointed.

He threw down towards the mirror on his knees and raised his arms high in the air, letting them finally rest against the mirror. "God, God, God!" he breathed aloud, and then with half-choked voice, he added, aloud – "Please, God, have mercy on the poor people!" Take my life if you wish, but help you get! "

He calmed himself, rose from his knees, brushed away talcum powder that clung to his knees, where they had touched some of the fallen white dust perfumed his underwear … he wiped his forehead with a clean linen handkerchief … took a deep breath ….

—– Mr. Mosley! - Rachel Getting almost angry voice on other side of the door.

He opened the door was half-blinded by a bank of photographers and their flashing lights.

"What are they doing here?" He demanded, pushing past the photographers and led his anger to his publicist, the woman with black-edged glasses that held a walkie-talkie to her ear.

"They say you are being sued by some guy who claims that you can not cure his eyes after all," said she said.

"He's a maniac!" Jeremiah broke. "I can not heal, Jesus does." He took a brave face and began paces post down the hall. He was a man of God, he could not allow these people to see any fear. He smiled and kept on walking, his publicist and two underpastors by his side ..

"But there is some good news too, Pastor! Someone has been healed, and they're calling it a miracle, yes, Pastor! – Someone has been healed !—" he could hear the excitement in her voice, and in the crowd. He hoped it was true.

Deep within he wondered whether a psychological event took office was convinced someone had been cured, or was it a set-up, by a person again trying to prove "healings" were all false? Perhaps this time it was for real. It happened sometimes, despite what his enemies say. He never knew when something miraculous occurred or what can be expect from the crowds, because it was just power their faith in action. He remembered what the Bible says that Jesus visited his own city, Nazareth, but could not do mighty miracles there, because people had no faith. — A prophet is despised in his own country —

A lot of 'miracles' were just psychological, but even that was something. Better than hopelessness, helplessness. Someone had to care. And occasionally, there were unexplained, mysterious changes hat doctors could not explain. He wanted had seen some signs from God in his prayers today, but as usual, he ran empty. The characters were so rare. Just enough to keep him from drowning in terror. Was he doing the right thing? If not, could Jesus take his life, it was okay.

- Search – Christ had said – and ye shall find .–

Apart from me, thought han.-I do not doubt that you will drink wine with me one day, but it has been fifteen years no w —

Now he walked calmly between rows of photographers, journalists and people begging him to heal them. As if he could heal anyone! "Praise Jesus!" He said to the people. "It is Jesus who will heal you! "- Oh, you secret, hidden, unattainable, silent Lord …!–

A driving sense of peace came over him then. He got into the elevator and the door closed. Blessed silence … and most of photographers and reporters were now cut off. Now to cross the street … With the priests on his right and two security guards at his left, Jeremiah crossed the gauntlet of the street with her lots of yelling people. He entered a large auditorium, composed himself for a minute, hiding behind a large screen while the choir sang and an enormous played the organ …. audience had been excited for about an hour, singing with the choir and see huge screens showing miracles and events on the other crusades.

- Please, God! - He asked, again the same old prayer, searching, searching … stop in the middle of it – complete with crossed arms – Noting that one way or another, forestall, he had lost a solid gold cuff links. "Damn!" He said, removing the solitary gold Cufflinks. "Lost a second! "

He stuck Cufflinks in his jacket pocket.

It was peaceful in the evangelist's hotel room. A sleepy guard sat on the big bed and make sure no one came into the room would steal one of the pastor thing for a souvenir. When he half-dozed, two maids entered the room with dust cloths and a vacuum cleaner to freshen it up. On the mirror, where the famous evangelist hands were pressed against the glass moment, the white talc was interesting enough, created a couple of white doves. One girl began to wipe them away because of time, the other, with dilated eyes, stopped her. They both knelt down and began to pray, cry, but Jeremiah never seen anything of it Nor sleepy guard.

Appearances (Story # 2)

by Judyth Vary Baker

There she was, lying on rumpled bed in the evening light fades. She could see her legs stretched out toward the window with its plum-striped curtains and the green, swaying trees out. There was an ocher glow in the sky as the sun sets, with crimson-edged clouds bathing the darkness. Her legs so thin, too thin, but when she was a model with thin frame desired by Clothier and designers. She wanted to eat, but dare not: the house where she saw the birds fly black punctuation marks against red-rimmed clouds, she thought how they could eat as they wished, without an idea that appearances: they were all soft, downy, fuzzy, fluffy. Fat, perhaps after Clothier and designers.

There was little sparkle of raindrops on the windows for the final light came a quick shower down the rain against a deepening deep blue sky. The yellow and gold of the last sunlight faded away to a soft tangerine glow, outlining the tall buildings and skyscrapers, which rose in the distance. She wiggled my toes, stretched them wide, so thought I have prehensile toes! She could get anything with them – a talent that nobody would pay her a crown. She saw how her knee bones stuck out more than they should, her thighs began behind the knee bones, too thin, too thin. But there was no help to it. She knew they would put makeup on to hide the dark circles of hunger that made her big, brown, glowing eyes look even more mysterious, and that she would walk down the red carpet on the arm by Max Taylor, Movie Star, smiling and waving to the adoring crowds, her photo snapped, brittle declared simply adorable, her hair should be sufficient for the occasion. Max was gay, and she liked being with him is usually too exhausted for sex: they made a good couples.

Well, she had fourteen hours before she had to get ready for tomorrow's appearance at the Oscars. Fourteen hours, phone calls turned away, and Room Service upbringing in another hour, her dinner consisting of a cup of clear broth, a chicken wing, and a lettuce leaf with vitamin capsules. She wanted to swim after it, but wondered if she had the strength. Staying in bed, she felt so cold was the best: her nails would not be chipped that way. Why turn on the television? Why not look at the raindrops gather, as the wind blew them sideways on the glass, see how they merged and became fatter, then dribbled down clear window, fall to oblivion …

She looked again at the alarm: a quarter to noon. There was a slight tingling along bedspreads that crossed her flat stomach, and She looked to see what caused it, but nothing was there. The white hotel sheets, the white hotel carpet, the white hotel mattress with his plum-colored stripes were, as in all hotels everywhere: a formal luxury, her common destiny in hotel after hotel. Shifted carpet and sleek lamps and slick wood with glass brochures of the hotel, waving pamphlets listing cafes and cabarets and caffe au lait. A hotel was like a second: either filled with antiques rigid with gaudy gilt and lace and carved balustrades and flowers modern or sterile, it is not good Norwegian Wood?

What was life about? She wondered. I would strut my stuff a hundred times more, so what? I wish I could believe in God.

Incredibly, she felt the electric touch her stomach again, and again looked down, past her hunger-shrunken bare breasts to blanket and sheets twisted around her middle in the form of a white cross, plum-red stripes makes a large "X" as if to block her empty stomach from the rest of her body. When she breathed, "X" went up and down, up and down … and as the night sky darkened to deep purple, she thought she saw "X" waver, and move sideways. As was then the tingling came back. This time she drew the sheet and blanket up to chin, covering himself. I am cold all the time she thought. How good the hot broth will feel! She glanced at the clock again in fifteen minutes, they would bring dinner. She remembered as a child, says Grace over a meal of bacon, eggs, toast and jam, with hot cocoa on the side and how her sister and brother grabbed the last pieces of toast, but she was satisfied to let them go to it, she had more than enough to eat. Donny was dead now, and so was mom and dad in the car wreck that suddenly took their lives. As for Donna, her sister, she had not seen her for several years: Donna was heavy, had children … ashamed of her stretch marks and after her thigh.

. I think I'll say Grace over the soup and chicken wing and salad, she thought. Jesus! I wish you would show! But these things do not just happen, do they? It was always just legend.

Then it happened.

The broth had gone cold. salad was untouched. They had forgotten the chicken wing, but indifferent. She was washed over with warmth and heat, lavished with him …. She lay stretched out, arms flung wide, her eyes moist with tears. She rolled from the bed, drawing sheet and carpet with her and the quilt that had twisted to make the "X" as well. On her knees, she whispered, Thank you! Thanks! Thanks!

 

"But such things are hallucinations," he told her as he warily watched her eat a normal size meal. "What about your contract?" he asked anxiously. "If you change the size, you will be fired from Victoria's Secret, and the rest will follow. And what would Henry say if you hold up to go out with him? He is always to get you a good movie quote. "

"I am rich," she said. "I do not need Victoria's Secret anymore. And I do not Henri, either. "

"Yes, I'm not rich! He said to her, angrily. "And you has a contract with me to be responsible. You have a god-damned hallucination. As your agent, I insist that you see a psychiatrist. "

"You do not have this right," she told him.

"Of course I do. I will sue you if you do not go. Then see how rich you should be. "

There she was, lying on rumpled bed in the evening light fades. She could see her legs stretched out toward the window with its plum-striped curtains and the green, swaying trees out. There was an ocher glow in the sky as the sun sets, with crimson-edged clouds intense darkness. Her legs so thin, too thin, but since she was a model with thin frame like Clothier and designers. She wanted to eat, but dare not: the house where she saw the birds flying in black punctuation marks against red-rimmed clouds, she thought how they could eat as they wished, without an idea that appearances.

Henri would go on tonight, to sleep with her again. He was a powerful senator. They met around the world: her 'photo shoot' was all lucrative offers. Some of them were real photo shoot … Despite everything, she was so much thinner than his wife, Bernice, who tried to become pregnant. Models to make were very fun to be with, and the contracts and magazine covers he got for her did hotels and meals and dreams to come.

REVIEW (Story # 3)

 

By Judyth Vary Baker

 

"Mr Ballantyne was very nearsighted, and middle age, but he still made a beautiful shock blonde hair, and had the body of an athlete. The fact that his wife had just died made him one of America's most eligible bachelors, though he still had to avoid dating. Henri's career as a U.S. senator was reaching its pinnacle: He was a powerful man who now found themselves chased by paparazzi, aching for a photo of him with some movie star. In Bernice's funeral, had let himself go Henri suffered drink too much and some say unwise things about his wife's untimely and sudden death. "Obviously, these people fools," Henri told Charles. "Everything blather about rising again on the Lord is my shepherd, I do not want. What I wanted was her, damn it. Now I have to go find another respectable woman. "

"Why did not you keep your opinion about that 'blather' to yourself?" Charles said, wishing it had been his wife, instead of Henri, who had kicked the bucket. Charles had silver hair now and a big stomach, but his wife looked even worse. Charles looked down at his bad left foot to leg two inches too short, which made the thick, heavy shoes so necessary when watching with thinly disguised envy of his young client, a former Olympic star, whose biceps were still solid. Charles was barely interested in Henri recent problem, but it was his job to keep Henri popular. Right now, his job was in jeopardy. Henri hidden lit a cigarette, as Charles burning hoping the waiter would not see.

"Maybe we should go on the terrace," Charles suggested picking up his wine glass. "There is a cool place out there under umbrellas."

"It's all the same to me," Henry told him. They are moved outside the restaurant rocky terrace, covered in rows of pink umbrellas with "Coca Cola" emblazoned in white, curling letters. Charles was happy to be back Budapest: he looked forward to the mineral baths, good, cheap wine and beautiful women who would sleep with him voluntarily, in spite of his bad left foot. This clump-clump of his shoes followed him everywhere, and most women looked down at the thick sole of the shoe, heard the heavy sound of it, and instinctively avoided intimacy with him. It was not fair. Charles was also cursed with a dark cast in the eyes, a sad down-turning of the mouth, and with a voice so rough he could not succeed as he had dreamed of politics. He was forced to act as a mere advisor, well-paid to guide candidates in high offices, and keep them there by making certain they said the right things and did the right things .. At present, he was concerned about Henri, whose chances for re-election had been very good until today.

Henri was a part of a Senate committee on a fact-finding Mission touring the European Union, with a stopover for fun in Budapest, where he had just eaten with the Minister of Culture Ministry, which he believes that religion was a farce, and that Jesus was probably a closet homosexual. Damn! Charles sighed to himself. Henri had made its views known to the new Minister of Culture – a devout Catholic – Not that old, there had been an atheist.

"This story is not to ride well with your constituency in Maryland, Henri."

"I know, I know! So what the hell do I do now?"

"Maybe show up at church. And make sure people know it."

"If you can not resolve this, I am quitting politics," Henry told him, peeling off a few thousand in Charles' hands. "This should cover your quick little trip over here. Do what you can to cover this up. Okay?"

"I'm not Mr. Fix-It" Charles complained. "I suggest that you stay away from religion completely after this. I'm sorry I ever mentioned the word" church "- but how would I know that you would end up attending a healing session in some praise-Jesus-Hallelujah cult? "

"I have twenty thousand members," Henry said lamely. "And I must admit I was delighted."

"Hypnotized, not entranced," Charles informed. "I would have created the right church for you. "

"Yes, you have," Henri said. "So now, get me the hell out of this mess!"

Henri, whose poor eyesight was the result of a bungled operation to reduce its short-sighted condition could not wear contact lenses anymore, and dare not risk a repetition of operation until the methods become more sophisticated. Maybe a given day, he thought to himself. Meanwhile, he was stabbed with glasses, and hated it even more than being old and out of shape. He had really been caught in that Jesus-Hallelujah-Praise-God jamboree, and mesmerized, walked in a daze to the altar, knelt there and said, that he believed. A man stood over him like a cloud, his vision was actually dark, as though an angel was hovering somewhere blotting all the hot lights overhead, and then evangelist asked if he could "lay hands' on him.

"Do you think you may be healed?"

The man looked a little tired and was in a hurry, as there were many others who also sought "hands-on experience.

"Healed of what?"

"Notwithstanding what your needs are, of course. God will heal you now if you believe! "

What was the shiver of hope, which ran over him, as hands were laid on his head?

He felt a delicious sense of peace overflow him. Evangelist hands seemed full of electricity. It was scary. From Henri lips exclaimed His secret desire.:

"I want my eyes to be healed!"

"So – be healed, eyes! In Jesus name! "

What a fool he had been! Such a perfect fool! For nothing had happened. Not a thing. He had had some blurry spots before his eyes, like a thousand small dark dots, just as he came up the aisle to the front, and yes, the small dots disappeared, but that was all. He was still so short-sighted as ever.

They are all fakes! He thought to himself. He could not see a single person healed at this altar, perhaps apart from a little old lady who said she was cured of cancer. Oh, sure! He had 'faith' when he saw the doctor's report! He got the old lady name and address. He did stipulate that the 'healer', where she died of cancer.

————————————————– ————————————————– ———-

"Okay," Henry told Charles, "it is true that the little black spots went away. And the woman with cancer better. But then she died of a stroke. "

"But you get those dots before your eyes, when you drink, Henri, "his manager told him." It comes and goes. Think of the consequences! You snapped your picture there, with that crazy preacher hands above his head. Good Lord! It is front page news in every damn tabloid in the country! "

I know, "Henri said darkly." But what can I do? "

"At least, you do not get 'cured' of anything, and feel that you had to preach it to the world," Charles said. "It would have really ruined everything."

"I sure got psychological pulled in," Henry admitted. "They have this service set up as a fine art. And of course I did not get healed. I want to shut down their operations. They are raking in money like crazy, you know. "

"I suggest that you do nothing of the sort," Charles told him. "At least not directly be his source of problems. Just promise me that next time would you stay away from anything to do with churches. For the rest of your life — or is it bye-bye, career. "

"Of course I will!"

"Instead, start going to hospitals. Go visit some sick children with cancer. Kiss some lepers. Do something nice, but stay away from fucking churches. Maybe they will forget. "

"I hope so," Henri said. "I hope so."

It was not the paparazzi who were responsible, as Princess Diana was chased, but auto accident was photographed by paparazzi. the stunned senator was photographed, even grief, that the accident would not have happened if she had not taken so much Valium

And here she had been pregnant!

1. So fellow had a nervous breakdown. The tabloids reported that he killed himself with sleeping pills in the house where he had been born. His suicide note was short and pitiful.

Jesus had not been there to save the guy: Evangelist had been on his own in the Valley of Death. Now Henri was in the hospital. He had fell on some ice and was about to get his back pulled straight – in traction. He was twice irritated because he was experiencing double vision from his concussion.

Eye doctor came with his machine, to see his eyes, and Henry heard him shaking his head as he did a little clucking sounds like a mother hen, worried about a chicken.

"You've had some real problems with these eyes, have not you?"

"A guy like you botched a surgery on my corneas," Henri told him. "Wrecked my chances to get away from glasses."

"But the second condition, I think," the doctor said. "Just when you have this surgery on your retina? "He was peering deeply into his right eye with that blasted annoying light.

"What surgery? What are you talking about? "

"Your right retina was obviously torn loose and was attached again by lasers. The left eye had no work provided in its retina, as well. "

"I've never had anything done on my mind!" Henri wondering how evangelists had hand on him, and a kind of bitter horror began to build up inside.

"Well, it's been a while, I think. Maybe you've forgotten, though I can not imagine you would. Had it not been for this apparent emergency surgery, you must be blind in your right eye. "

Eye Physicians looked again into the left eye.

"Yes, same thing, just not so bad," he said. "Your left retina has also been used again. Are you remember to have seen a stream of what we call the "floaties" in your eyes? A sense of a shadow falls over his eyes, as if a curtain was about to shut down your vision? "

Oh my God!

Suddenly Henri undersood. The darkness of his vision as he knelt down, shielding the harsh overhead light from his eyes as he knelt — and the hundreds of small dark spots, which flourished in his eyes like shaking hands evangelist gently stirred at his head, and Henri had asked to be cured.

"Oh, God!" He whispered as he stretched out on the hospital bed. "Oh, God! "

Repair (Story # 4)

      Jeremiah was ready to die. He had long been prepared for the event. His only regret was that he had not had enough true faith to heal all who he had in his hands – for which he had prepared with much prayer and fasting. He had never seen a vision, although others around him reported pigeons always lands on the window sills, where he went – hotel after hotel.

It was strange, yes – but he had never seen a single white Dove self. Yet he had attempted to follow Christ's example, think he could lay hands on people and heal them if they had enough faith, just as the Bible had promised in Christ's name. He had seen a series of miracles – No one could deny it! – But there were so few among the thousands he had hoped to see go again, be happy again have hope again. It was sad, for he could not deny that there had been hundreds of stunning failures. Psychosomatics. Self hypnosis, maybe. His tireless nemesis, Henry B., had planted himself "cured people" in his congregation to proclaim they had been healed. Jeremiah's best-selling book, unfortunately included a few stories from fake 'cured' people who had infiltrated the church, paid for by Henri B. They had lied. They had been included in book — along with a dozen genuine cases – (he took over they were true!) – all to glorify the name of God and his holy powers of healing through Christ's shed blood. Instead outrage and ridicule. Accusations of fraud. Prostitutes had even come forward claiming he had slept in them. Lies, lies, lies!

Henri B., Senator, revealed that he was sick of criminals acting in the name of God, he looked like paid actors to pretend that they had been healed. The evangelist had not been told of his "God" that people had really been healed. He was totally clueless. His "God" had let him down.

All this had come about because the evangelist had laid his hands on the senator's head and declared that his eyes had been healed. He had done it on inspiration. He had been impressed – although some — the senator's eyes were to go blind – but at the last minute if they had been rescued, either by being healed, or because Henri had gone to an ophthalmologist and was operated on. Whichever way you looked at it, had Henry B's eyes are hidden.

But Henry could not see it that way. Physicians – Alone, was a healer. Jeremiah had asked him to go to the doctor to get his eyes checked to make certain they were healed and the doctor had insisted on operation. Since then, Henri B's persecution has been relentless. Thoughts of suicide had crossed Jeremiah thoughts again and again. Now waiting was over. No more fasting and prayers in the lonely nights. No more tears, lying lying on his face, begging for people to be healed, begging for conversions to his hero, Jesus. He could even consider this final terrible event as martyrdom. Dying for Jesus

1. He finally decided to write that the devil had forced him to die, it was not his choice at all.

Jeremiah was so insecure that he only had the strength now to put a small cross below the words "I forgive all my enemies and place all my faith in God's mercy. "The word" grace "had a long, smeared traces of ink after it because he could no longer see what he wrote, could no longer feel the pen in his numb hand. Pain was eating his stomach alive. He dropped the pen, as a spasm from drugs, he had filled his body. He knew that he would soon be dead. "Father, forgive my enemies," he tried to say, but with so little breath left, in other words came out ….

————————————————– ————————————————– ————

Henri had moved to a monastery in Sweden. It was built in the fifteenth century of hand-cut stone. It was cold and had always been cold. It was dark and had always been dark. Bernadette – Bernice sister – had proposed the monastery as a suitable place for private booth, a new life. The Catholics would let him find some peace in his soul, perhaps in a primitive way that his take-charge mind could understand. In his jealousy, he murdered his wife. He had driven evangelist in bankruptcy, and until his death.

Too late, he had learned to ophthalmologist had operated on his eyes. Too late, he realized that the evangelist had actually – by some unknown power – healed his eyes. And this, Henri had destroyed him! had stabbed his church in financial ruin! A million dollar check firm, and his statement that he had been healed wiped out much of the burden due to counterfeits "Cures" mentioned in the book that had shamed the evangelical so fast. But none of this could bring back the man of God who in his suicide note, had written: "I forgive all my enemies …"

As Henri whipped himself (he cut his body with twenty lashes each night except on Sundays) cut his teeth and let the intense pain sink into his flesh.

"God forgive me, I did not know what I did," he asked, each night when he finished cleaning the blood from his back and off stone walls. Then he lay down on the hard, flat bed, let the cold creep over him. The cold sank into the mass of inflamed wounds on his back. With his diabetic condition that he knew he would not last too much longer – maybe a year or thereabouts. For Brothers and Monks, they thought him a strange saint-in-the-eye, and with their silent stares of admiration, they gave him privacy in his holy efforts to make compensation for his sins, and for sin in the world.

'Brother' Henri asked constantly, begging forgiveness, especially from the man he had destroyed, out of power that Silent God which had healed his eyes. How many more battles from the length of cord he wore around his waist (when he was not using it) could his body take? As he had several forces, he would leave the table. Finally, his pain over. Forever.

DIVISION (history # 4)

 

By Judyth Vary Baker

 

Henri Ballantyne was very nearsighted, and middle age, but he still wore a beautiful shock blonde hair, and had the body of an athlete. He was one of America's most eligible bachelors, a powerful man who was haunted by paparazzi, aching for a photo of him with some movie star. Charles, his political manager, was told to find him a proper lady at the fair date. Henri still missed his dead wife: "What I wanted was Bernice, damn it. Now that she is dead," he said to Charles, "you are have to go find me another respectable woman. "

Charles had a great Rolodex, and a large reservoir of e-mail addresses, but the combination of Movie Star and Respectable Potential wife escaped all attempts. Then a pause: Bernice's sister – Bernadette-called.

She very well knew, that Henri was cheating on her. It was a shame that they could not have babies. Too many times, then he demanded to know if she had finally become pregnant, only to be told there again, everything was not. When the problem was finally diagnosed as Henri's sake, do not Bernice's, she celebrated by getting drunk. Relief! The blessed Relief! Henri seeking to make themselves feel and look better, got an eye operation this week, but something went awry, and both his corneas were damaged, forcing him to reside in thick glasses. Henry tried to sue a doctor, but papers he had signed before surgery and the doctor good reputation, resulted in a settlement out of court. Bernice had done what she could to help: she tried to get inside information: she was friendly before the trial came with the ophthalmologist, and even had a little minor surgery, as the good doctor gave her free, knowing how upset Henri had been.

Then came a meeting after normal office hours, when Bernice, noting that the doctor had the same taste as her for good music, invited him to accompany her to a Bach concerto. It happened almost by an accident: she had seen Henri with a Pretty Young Thing on his arm, and with jealous anger, she called Dr. Richardson.

They met outside the Concert Hall: He looked very fine with his bright blue contact lenses and his thick, blond hair, much to remind her of Henri's own tawny mane. By evening's why she called her escort 'Paul'. By the end of the month, they were meeting regularly for concerts and much more.

————————————————– ————————————————– ———-

I should feel guilty, telling herself as she combed through his own dark, glossy curls. But I can not! She was still an incredibly beautiful woman. She carefully studied her, still glamorous figure in the hall mirror, wishing her stomach was as flat as his secretary's … But who can compete in thirty-eight women with fifteen years younger? She felt a bit under the weather lately – it was age creeping up on her already? — And it did it seems all the more important for her to spread her wings and put an adoring husband in her arms.

Henri is discreet in his indiscretions, she told himself. And so am I! It is good that we have no children to complicate matters. She chose the right purse for the evening, checked her hair from behind then took the elevator down to the foyer. Paul had sent a lovely New York limo to fetch her – yet inexplicably, when she came into the limo, her thoughts went back to Henri, who was dealing her so much nicer now that he knew it was his fault, not hers, that there were no babies.

And he always brings me such nice gifts now. .. It's him, she decided who is guilt! He will soon be going to Europe and I will stand behind, but we are only working the Royals have done for centuries. Generous to each other in public, and we still even sleep together! She would not dare compare the two men in bed, because Henri had known her for so long now, and Paul's fascination with her can fade. She should be grateful for good sex with two good men, in a pleasant life.

His spies told him that Bernice was pregnant and that she had witnessed the very eye doctor who had ruined his chances look pretty again! No – more than to see ophthalmologist! More than that! divorced doctor had two children of her own and was clearly the source of Bernice sudden pregnancy. How dare she! And next year was an election year! Did she think she could hide what she was thinking when he had photographs and even a videotape? True, she was very careful – she obviously does not want harming Henri's reputation – but what in the hell did she afford to get pregnant? Damn it all!

"Women will have babies," Charles told him. "She knew it was hopeless with you so-"

He had to pause until Henri's teeth stopped gnashing.

"I have to be very blunt with you, Henri," Charles told him. "Your little trip abroad, your lack of grief when she died, have been noticed. Her family received a phone call – "

"No doubt from him!"

"It seems they received information that is disturbing to them. Something about your hiring a private detective who now wants a payoff to keep silent. Or else, he will talk with Bernice family. They also have a reputation to consider. "

"It is not against the law, what I did," Henry said darkly. He tried to pretend that he does not was so deeply concerned as he was on the green a little bad news. The first bad bit was that Bernice sister would exhume the body, having a autopsy done.

"I thought Catholics did not do such a thing, 'he complained.

"Apparently, sometimes they do," Charles said. "I suggest that you get yourself a good lawyer."

"I can not begin to express you how much I despise you, "Henri said to Dr. Richardson, who sat uncomfortably with his lawyer's office." I found her diary, you know. "

Paul Richardson said no something. The simmering hatred in Henri's eyes was enough to keep him quiet. He did not want Henry to jump up and strangle him or something. They waited, with a gentle-eyed male attorney, for word on DNA tests on the dead fetus before Bernice's life. Henri had requested the test.

"Another thing," Henri said. "It all started when she volunteered to spy on you, for your information. Prior to my bringing a lawsuit against you. "

"She told me all about it," Paul said mildly. "And she apologized."

"She has never been good at something," Henry admitted. "That's why I was so shocked. That she got away with all this with you. "

"You were not around much to notice."

"I was around enough!" Henri snapped. He dropped his face in his hands, then, as if he were about to cry. Paul was surprised by this sudden shift in sentiment. He hazarded a comment.

"I think we both missed her."

"If only I had never had this surgery!"

"Yes, I'm sorry was botched up. "
