Following up on this, and in the spirit of the recently-mentioned Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, here's the first sentence of the novel: Having stumbled over Wilma's dead body on the way to program, Sandra Submissive found her TM-Sidhi practice less than...uh...elevating as she sat solidly on the foam, not flying, her mind filled with a stream of distubing thoughts -- "I wonder who whacked the old bitch?"..."I wonder if it would be more in tune with Natural Law to tell someone about the body after morning program or wait until after evening program"..."I wonder what's for lunch today"..."Do I still have to iron her saris now that she's dead?"..."If I wait until after evening program maybe they'll appreciate my one-pointedness and give me her old trailer" -- and at the last thought she finally felt the familiar kundalini rush, smiled, and lifted up off the foam in a graceful arc, butt-bouncing madly across the room, screaming, "Later!...later!... much later!" ------------------------ Yahoo!
