Short Story of the Month
Oops!
“You're not listening to again, honey. For the two hundred and thirty-seventh time – sorry, two hundred and thirty-sixth time, because on the twenty-thirteenth of July, at nine o'clock and four minutes, instead of paying attention to your dear wife, you were watching that stupid TV show with the weirdo who keeps going on about aliens taking on human forms to subtly occupy us – I'm telling you that people don't have eidetic memories!”
Being of the Month
Hitotsume Kozo
Not all ghosts necessarily have to be scary, or rather, not all of them have to maliciously harm, hurt, or haunt their human victims. Some just amuse themselves inappropriately and provoke others, playing pranks, but they don’t mean any harm. And then there are those who are, in all honesty, honest and helpful. Many of them devote themselves to household chores, while others protect people from their evil astral companions. Of course, there are also beings who neither harm nor help. They simply exist. Like Hitotsume-kozō, for example.
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.
