Last Saturday night; a young chap was walking home from a club.

It was a cold, wet, windy evening, and he was tired and freezing.
Most of the streetlights in the area were broken, and the silence was
only broken by the occasional sound of a stray cat sifting through a
dustbin.
Then suddenly he heard a strange noise...


BUMP








BUMP









BUMP








Startled by this, he turned, and to his amazement, through the driving
rain, he saw the faint outline of a large box turning into his road.









BUMP









BUMP









BUMP









He froze to the spot, he couldn't believe his eyes, as the box
approached from the shadows, he was able to make out its shape more
clearlyIt was a coffin.








Not wanting anything to do with this, he put his head down and started
walking briskly home.









BUMP








BUMP








BUMP









He could feel the coffin gaining on him, he started walking
faster.









BUMPBUMP..









BUMPBUMP.








BUMPBUMP..









The coffin was closing with his every step, he started to jog, but he
heard the coffin speed up after him..









BUMPBUMP..BUMP..








BUMPBUMP..BUMP..









BUMPBUMP..BUMP..








He started to sprint, but so did the coffin .








BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP.









BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP.










BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP.









Eventually he made it to his front door, but he knew the coffin was Only
seconds behind. Fumbling around in his pocket, he pulled out his keys,
His hand trembling, he managed to open the lock, he dived inside
slamming The front door behind him. He shot into his front room, and
lumped into his comfy chair.








Suddenly there was a loud crash, as the coffin smashed its way through
the front door. The force of the impact broke the lock off the coffin
allowing the lid to swing freely on its rusty hinges as it continued Its
chase.










BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...









BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...








BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...








BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...









In horror the young lad fled again, as fast as his shaking legs could
take him he bolted upstairs to the bathroom and locked the door










BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...










BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...








BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...









The coffin again gave chase up the stairs, across the landing and
launched itself at the bathroom door. With an almighty smash, the
Bathroom door flew off its hinges

The coffin stood in the doorway, then started to approach the
young terrified lad.









BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...










BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...








BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...










In a last ditch attempt to save his skin, he reached for his bathroom
cabinet..

He grabbed a bar of Imperial Leather soap and threw it at the
coffin...still it came .









BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...








He grabbed his can of Lynx deodorant and threw it .

Still it came..








BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...









He grabbed his first aid kit and threw it .still it came..









BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...









He grabbed some Benelyn cough mixture and threw it









The coffin stopped.

Subject: [lace-chat] the transformation of human languages


 There is a fascinating book, The Powere of Babel, by
 John McWorter.  The book is described as a natural
 history of language.  For those interested in
 linguistics and the historical relationships of
 languages, I do suggest reading it.

Another informative book, I am currently reading, while not so totally
focused on language but none the less fascintating, Guns, Germs and Steel(a
short history of everyone for the last 13,000 years)

Cheers, Yvonne.
