Short Story of the Month
Parallel Present Paradox
“Parallel present,” said Starek suddenly.
“What?”
Doctor Winter was amazed. She could put into a one-word combination of childish wonder, doubts of an experienced woman, and even bitterness. That last thing was however absent today, even if the results of the scientific team she was a prominent member would excuse such a tone. In fact, there were no practical outcomes.
Being of the Month
Pikulík
Teeny-tiny inch-tall imp from Slovakia. Much stronger than he looks. He brings luck to the owner, does chores and agricultural works. However, nothing is free. The ownership of this goblin is accompanied by a memento: the soul of the third owner belongs to the Devil. So if someone offers you that helper, you rather check his CV well.
Other Stuff
Sherlockiana: Police Officers
Even though Holmes became the patron of all literary detectives that came after him, he didn't consider himself as one. He thought of himself as a higher form of a sleuth.
Quote of the Month
That somebody should die after the continued howling of a dog is not a
remarkable phenomenon; the remarkable phenomenon is the number of people
who live after listening to many howlings.
