You're probably wondering where I've been. The answer is pretty simple, though.

Reading.

Yeah, nothing as dramatic as you were probably thinking. I haven't been brooding on my situation or planning some elaborate escape plot or anything. The way I figure it, nothing's happening at home and this place isn't going to let me out 'till it feels like it, so I'm going to enjoy the vacation while it lasts.

Besides, I'm behind on my Shadow pulps. How Grant puts them out so fast is a mystery to me, but if I'm here much longer I might see if there's an available typewriter and give my own writing a go as well. It's not like there isn't enough inspiration for stories here.

If you feel like chatting, feel free to stop by. I'm reading through one of my favorite Doc Savage stories, but I've read it before so a little conversation wouldn't do me wrong.

"Well, yeah. Not in the classical sense of a corpse resurrected by necromantic Voudoun rituals and poisons, but he hasn't got a pulse and he isn't a vampire, and the only reason he's still moving around is because a class nine summoned supernatural entity manifested and unleashed all of New York City's dead on the world of the living. For lack of a better vocabulary term, he's calling himself a zombie. It's not a category that U. S. law is currently equipped to handle so there's probably gonna be a few court cases until his status is cleared up, but he seems happy with it." Ray shrugs. "It's not all that often that I run into Earths that're stranger than my native New York, but this was one of them."

"New York serves up weird pretty well." I agree with him.

"Don't I know it," Ray says fervently. "I kind of feel sorry for people from nice ordinary places like Boston or Paris sometimes. They go through their lives thinking everything is normal and perfectly ordinary, and then something unexplainable pops up right in front of them and they're just not equipped to deal with it..."

Not that Ray is exactly a paragon of judging what's normal and what's not, but hey.

I grin.

"From Cincinnati, if you don't remember. I'm just well traveled."

"True," Ray says. "And the people of Boston have all those college students to contend with. Still, I think you take my point."

I nod, still grinning.

"Yeah. Then again, the only thing a college student is afraid of is a deadline."

True of a lot of journalists too.
