Maybe...but it's always good to hear it again.

I would have to completely and unbiasedly (?is that even a word?) agree with this statement.

PhoenixFire Job Application

OK, so I thought I'd apply for a job at the PhoenixFire Corporation, and I wrote:

Quote:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I note that you have just updated your website and are requesting job
applications. I feel that I have some unique qualities that may be of
use to you and would welcome further information as to which vacancies
you have available.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and I look forward to
hearing from you.

their response is interesting:

Quote:

Thank you for contacting the PhoenixFire Corporation. At this time, the company is looking for an event coordinator to plan something for an upcoming company celebration. Do you have any experience in this field?

_Jessica Updike
_Director of Employment

I have asked for further details and will let you all know how I get on.

more contact about my book

after receiving word that PhoenixFire wanted to promote my book (posted above), i sent in this reply:

Mr. Ginsleps_

Wonderful! The book isn't done yet, but I expect it to be done
February of next year. Being as it is still a work in progress, do you
have any suggestions? It seems like you and your Board of Directors
might be able to advise me about how to really make a great book.
Would you like to write the introduction for it?

Also, how exactly can you help to promote it? Would you like to
publish it also?

Let me know how I can make this partnership really benefit us both.

and they replied:

I would be delighted to find someone to write the introduction to your book. As far as the company publishing it, however, I do not believe this is possible. If you are looking for a publisher, we recommend Lulu.com. I will bring up the subject of writing the introduction to the Board, and approve it with them. Thank you for your continued correspondence.

_Secretary of Funding

Two New Puzzles

The first one is to big to display here and I don't know how to break it up safely. So, go to the site and look in the source code for the whole thing.

The second is the same as the one we got from Lucy.

I guess with the PhoenixFire Corporation building burning down, that's my chances of a job out of the window. Ho hum.... Sad

Here is the solution to the one from Jakob's Journal ...

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO I WOULD HAVE STOPPED THINGS SOONER BUT APPEARING TO SARAH TOOK MOST OF MY ENERGY

PERHAPS I SHOULD BACK UP. I AM JAKOB PLESSING, FOUNDER OF THE PHOENIZFIRE CORPORATION. I AM WRITING TO YOU NOW THROUGH A BOY NAMED JASON CHRISTOPHER, WHO WILL REMEMBER NONE OF THIS IN THE MORNING. I AM DEAD. I HAVE BEEN FOR MANY DECADES. TONIGHT, THE TWILIGHT OF MY BIRTHDAY, I HAVE RETURNED.

I FOUNDED THE PHOENIZFIRE FOUNDATION ON BY DEATHBED, AS YOU KNOW. I WAS LEFT MANY MILLIONS BY A DEAD RELATIVE, AND ON MY DEATHBED I ASKED MY WIFE TO START THE FOUNDATION. BECAUSE SHE WAS SKEPTICAL OF MY PSYCHIC ABILITIES, SHE PUT THIS OFF FOR MANY YEARS.

ON THE OTHER SIDE, I COULD SEE THIS. I WAS ANGRY, AND FOR SEVERAL YEARS I GATHERED ENOUGH STRENGTH TO APPEAR TO SARAH AS A SPIRIT. MY MEETING WITH MY WIFE HAD THE DESIRED EFFECT; I WATCHED FROM BEHIND THE VEIL AS SHE FOUNDED THE GROUP I HAD ALWAYS DREAMED WOULD EXIST.

THE AFTERLIFE IS A STRANGE PLACE. IT EXISTS IN THE SAME PHYSICAL SPACE THAT YOU LIVE IN RIGHT NOW, BUT IT IS LOCATED JUST BEYOND THE REALM OF HUMAN PERCEPTION. SPIRITS CAN SEE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE 'REAL' WORLD, AND VERY RARELY WE CAN INTERACT. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. AFTER I FADED AWAY, MY SPIRIT WAS REELING FROM THE EXERTION OF THE TASK. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO INFLUENCE THE WORLD OF THE LIVING. UNTIL TONIGHT, THAT IS.

I WATCHED, INTERESTED, AS MY ONLY SON MARRIED AND HAD TWO TWIN DAUGHTERS, TABITHA AND KATRINA.

EVENTUALLY, THE FOUNDATION BECAME A CORPORATION. BY THIS POINT, I HAD BECOME FRIENDS WITH THE SPIRIT OF A MAN NAMED GEORGE MIDDLETON. HE HAD LIVED AND DIED IN UTAH. FOR A FEW DECADES, HE AND I WATCHED OVER HIS DESCENDENTS AND ENSURED THE FAMILY'S SAFETY. PROBABLY BECAUSE I COULD SENSE THE APPROACHING STORM, I TURNED MY EYES AWAY FROM MY LEGACY AND ABSORBED MYSELF IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE MIDDLETON FAMILY. GEORGE APPEARED TO HIS DAUGHTER IN A DREAM AND SUGGESTED SHE NAME HER SON JAKOB, AFTER ME.

WHILE MY SPIRIT STAYED IN UTAH, TABITHA LEARNED SHE HAD INHERITED MY PSYCHIC ABILITIES. SHE BEGAN A PSYCHIC READINGS SERVICE, INITIALLY CHARGING FOR ADVICE. JESSICA UPDIKE, THE SECRETARY OF FUNDING AT THE PFC, BEFRIENDED TABITHA AND PROPOSED MAKING MISS CORINN'S PSYCHIC READINGS, FREE.

IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, I DISCOVERED THAT I WAS GETTING STRONGER. IN THE SAME MONTH, JAKOB MIDDLETON WAS CAPTURED. I WAS AT THAT CEREMONY, AND TO MY SURPRISE I FELT MUCH STRONGER THE INSTANT JAKOB WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE GATE OF HELL, WHERE HE WAS KEPT UNTIL TONIGHT. THIS IS WHEN I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG. I REMEMBERED SEEING THIS, MANY YEARS AGO, IN A VISION.

BACK TO NEW YORK I WENT. SPIRITS ARE NOT BOUNDED BY THE PHYSICAL LAWS THAT GOVERN HUMANS, SO I WAS IN THE PFC BUILDING ALMOST INSTANTLY. OR, PERHAPS IT TOOK ME SEVERAL HOURS. YOU SEE, TIME WORKS DIFFERENTLY FOR SPIRITS AS WELL.

I SAT IN ON A MEETING BETWEEN TABITHA AND SEVERAL TOP PFC EXECUTIVES. WHAT I HEARD SHOCKED ME MORE THAN SEEING ALIA FALL TO HER DEATH. THEY HAD DEVISED A PLAN TO BRING ME BACK TO LIFE! TO TO THIS, THEY NEEDED TO SACRIFICE SEVERAL HUMANS AND HOLD SEVERAL MORE CAPTIVE UNTIL THE NIGHT THEY WANTED ME BACK. THEY HAD FOUND A COVEN OF WITCHES WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE THIS POWER, SAYING THEY HAD ALREADY REINCARNATED ELVIS IN DICK CHENEY'S BODY.

AT ANY RATE, TABITHA WAS SADISTICALLY PLEASED WHEN SHE HEARD THAT JAKOB HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CAPTURED. I WAS SICKENED. I DIDN'T WANT TO COME BACK IF IT MEANT THE DEATH OF MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE.

I WAS NOT YET STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE MY INTENTIONS KNOWN, SO I RETURNED TO UTAH AND TOLD GEORGE MIDDLETON THE TRUTH. HE WAS UNDERSTANDABLY HORRIFIED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, HE PASSED ON.

I WAS FORCED TO WATCH HELPLESSLY AS THIS COVEN TOOK YET ANOTHER VICTIM IN MY NAME, A POOR MAN NAMED CAL WHO WAS ATTEMPTING TO SPY ON THE COVEN. IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED JUST HOW DEEP THIS WEB OF LIES AND INTERACTIONS WENT; AS I WATCHED, CAL TRIED TO CALL A MAN NAMED FRANK DAWES. WHO, I DISCOVERED VIA A QUICK TRIP TO HIS HOUSE, WAS IN A CHAT ROOM AT THE TIME WITH LUCY MIDDLETON, GEORGE'S GRANDDAUGHTER.

THE WORLD WIDE WEB IS VISIBLE TO SPIRITS AS A COMPLEX NET OF INFORMATION. I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT RELATIVELY QUICKLY THAT FRANK WAS ROMANTICALLY LINKED TO TABITHA'S TWIN SISTER, KATRINA. HE WAS ALSO ON A QUEST TO EXPOSE MY FOUNDATION FOR THE MONSTROSITY IT HAD BECOME.

MIND REELING, I RETURNED TO THE CLEARING WHERE CAL WAS BEING SACRIFICED AND WITNESSED THE FULFILLMENT OF YET ANOTHER ONE OF MY VISIONS. AT THE INSTANT CAL DIED, I WAS ABLE TO APPEAR VERY BRIEFLY TO LUCY. SHE DIDN'T KNOW IT, BUT SHE CAUGHT MY FACE IN THE FLAMES ON HER CELL PHONE.

LUCY SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE CLEARING, AND I KEPT WATCH OVER HER TO MAKE SURE THE COVEN DID NOT RETURN AND DISCOVER HER. I AM SURE MY SPIRIT IS QUITE FORMIDABLE, SO WHEN ONE OF THE WITCHES DID RETURN, SHE (BEING MORE PERCEPTIVE THAN MOST HUMANS) WAS ABLE TO SEE MY SPIRIT, AND SHE STAYED AWAY.

I RETURNED TO THE PFC BUILDING ONCE I WAS SURE LUCY WAS SAFE AND MADE ANOTHER SHOCKING DISCOVERY. TABITHA WAS KEEPING HER SISTER LOCKED UP IN A ROOM IN THE BASEMENT, AND WAS DRUGGING HER.

I WAS DISGUSTED. TABITHA HAD TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE A NASTY, EVIL PERSON. HER ONLINE PERSONA, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO ENCOUNTER VIA THE SPIRIT INTERNET, SEEMED INNOCENT ENOUGH.

UPON EXPLORING THE PFC BUILDING A BIT FURTHER, I FOUND AN ELABORATE FLOOR DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A GARDEN. TREES, FLOWERS, A WINDING PATH, A ROCK... AND A LAKE.

I SAW THE LAKE AND WAS DRAWN TO ITS SHORES IMMEDIATELY. THEN, TO MY HORROR, I FOUND MYSELF INSIDE A ROOM, SUDDENLY, SURROUNDED BY HUNDREDS OF DEAD SPIRITS. THEY CRIED OUT, SHRIEKED, SOBBED, MOANED, AND ALL AROUND BEWAILED THEIR PREDICAMENTS.

I SOON REALIZED THAT I WAS CAUGHT. THE PFC HAD SOMEHOW DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY CAPABLE OF TRAPPING SPIRITS IN THIS FAKE LAKE.

ON OCCASION, DURING THE WEEKS I WAS TRAPPED IN THAT INFERNAL HELLHOLE, I LOOKED UP AND SAW KATRINA (LOOKING OUT OF HER MIND WITH DRUGS) LOOKING DOWN AT ME. SHE DID NOT SEE ME, ALTHOUGH I SHOUTED ON THE TOP OF MY VOICE.

ONE DAY, KATRINA BENT DOWN AND TOOK A SIP OF THE WATER IN THE LAKE. ACROSS THE ROOM, TO MY SURPRISE, THE TRANSLUCENT FORM OF FRANK DAWES ROSE UP FROM THE CROWD AND PASSED THROUGH THE CEILING.

IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE PRESENT, I GREW STRONGER WITH EVERY PASSING DAY. SOON, I WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT AND TOUCH THE MIND OF THE NEAREST OPENMINDED PERSON: JASON CHRISTOPHER. I SLOWLY BEGAN TO CAUSE DREAMS DURING THE NIGHT, LEAVING BEHIND INSTRUCTIONS TO PREPARE HIM FOR TONIGHT'S EVENTS.

SEVERAL NIGHTS LATER, I FOUND I COULD REACH FARTHER. I TOUCHED THE MIND OF LUCY MIDDLETON, AND A STRANGE THING HAPPENED. I EXPERIENCED A VISION, MY FIRST SINCE MY DEATH.

TONIGHT, JUST HOURS AGO, I REALIZED IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, AND THAT TONIGHT WOULD BE THE NIGHT THEY WOULD TRY TO BRING ME BACK. I CALLED OUT TO JASON, BECKONING HIM TO THE TWENTY-FOURTH FLOOR OF THE BUILDING. HOWEVER, UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, THE CEREMONY HAD ALREADY BEGUN. THE BUILDING WAS FULL OF PEOPLE.

SOON, I LOOKED UP AND SAW YOUNG JASON STANDING AT THE EDGE OF THE LAKE, WHICH WAS GOOD. WHEN I TOUCHED HIS MIND, I LEFT INSTRUCTIONS, AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH HE WAS NOW FOLLOWING THEM. LIKE KATRINA, JASON BENT DOWN AND TOOK A SIP FROM THE LAKE. I ROSE UP THROUGH THE SPIRIT ROOM, DRAWING JEALOUS CRIES FROM THOSE TRAPPED THERE. I PASSED THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE LAKE AND FLOATED TOWARD HIM, PLANNING TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIS BODY.

AH! I SEE THE LIGHT. IT IS COMING FOR ME. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT... THIS IS MY LAST FEW MINUTES ON EARTH. GOODBYE, ALL!
