Artist's Comment:
A story written be me and my friend Dennis... Dennis died a couple years ago. Me and Him wrote over 100 short stories, not all as silly as this one. Dennis was an accomplished and published poet... he had a gift.
He and I wrote all these short stories out of pure boredome. I have posted several here on AU, but this is one of the more cleverly worded ones I think... anyway... here I present to you... ULTRA-DIANETICS:
--------------------------
Rico squatted over the decayed pile of shredded matter he had found aside the train tracks. He didn't know what to think of it; it smelled of rotted meat but appeared to be some sort of sea-weed, except it glowed a flourescent blue. Rico picked up a piece. It felt like wet hair. It suddenly moved within his hand and the entire pile sprung upon Rico, wrapping itself around his face, choking him and emmiting a rancid fluid into his mouth. He passed out.
When he awoke, the putrid sea-weed was gone but Rico's mind was filled with horrendous arguing voices. He arose, aware that his movement seemed to be under the control of an unseen force. The voices continued. He felt as if three separate views of one thing had been produced in his mind by three separate things of one view! When these thoughts fused together with Rico's dislogic a powerful confusion overtook him.
Forcefully, he looked down upon the train tracks and deducted that the converging point where the tracks met the horizon was where he was meant to go. His multiple separate views concidered this, along with his own view, and, thus, Rico realized he had four views from the three.
The only logical thing to do from realizing this progression, Rico thought, was to progress himself down the tracks towards the horizon.
But, before he could do this, he had to grasp the situation and deduct which of these views was actually his own. It could be the one that said 'at the horizon could be found magical rebirth'... or the one that said 'the only way '... or was it the one that said 'Yes!'... or the other saying 'No'!
Rico decided that he could not be sure which view was of his own, so he re-examined them as a whole and found that his real view lay within layers between each and all the conflicting arguments. This only confused Rico more and he had no more to really give. Then, he realized that he had already been progressing on the tracks towards the uncertain horizon, moved by the forces within him for which he had no control.
Rico blinked... and the scene changed, yet stayed the same! The voices argued and deducted the phenomenon of time! Rico was relived of this and quite glad the blinking incident was solved and over, but was still puzzled by the large, fast moving object that was aproaching him upon the tracks. It howled and roared, a high pitch musical note bellowed forth from it, and then a horrendous, metallic screeching sound!!!
Thwack!
In the seemingly unending second of the collision, Rico felt the force of a powerful machine slam into his body. And as he flew backwards, thrust by incredible force, the voices in his head argued over whether this new sensation was what was called pain. Before landing on the ground Rico's vision began to fade to black and his last sight was that of his own blood splattered across the Amtrak symbol on the front of that terrible machine.

you have a gift for detail! The unexpected and unusual are definitely your forte, and the imagination is your canvas. Great stuff!

"I smile becuz I have no idea what's going on...and I'm trying to keep it that way.", she said as she stuck her fingers in her ears and started to sing, "La,la,la,la....La,la,la,la".
