J.D. Salinger wrote Catcher in the Rye.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):



The room fills with hazy smoke.

Demonic eyes surround me.

They grumble loudly.

I see a vial of adrenaline.

It is my only hope to regain control of my own body.

I grab the vial and find a needle

My hands are shaking uncontrollably.

I have only one shot.

It must go right to my heart.

Right to my heart.

I try to focus.

I think of her,

her beauty

Zion

Time stops for a moment

The heat in the room is intense

The moment ends.

I regain control:

I made the impossible shot.

Now I must get out.

Out.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"Do no go gentle..." is from a Dylan Thomas poem.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dylan Thomas

I approach the door.

I hear the shrill fire alarm ringing.

The flames grow in intensity.

I have little time left.

The electronic lock has died.

The steel door has no hope of being opened.

Yet wait!

As William gave me my death sentence

through the fume hood

so shall I find my salvation

The glass doors await.

Our side is open, the other is locked from the other side.

Time is ticking.

I run.

I run and kick the glass.

It shatters.

I am bleeding.

I hit my head severely on the top of the hood.

Yet I am alive.

I run, I run quickly.

I run to the reception area.

The lobby.

I collapse at her feet.

Thank God I hired her.

I awake in my room.

I know not who I am or what I do.

My life has been destroyed, yet I am still living.

Living with little hope.

I see Dr. William on the cathode-ray set.

Yet I don't know who he is.

Yet I have a faint feeling that he is wrong,

he has lied,

he has killed.

Pain.

 		The Wiki keeps bouncing me back from the edit page. I got most of the info in the timeline up to date, but I can't edit it to make it nicer looking. It keeps giving me an error message.

 		I think that either Christine or Matthew might have an accident on the way to their meeting. This is getting even better!

 		And again, I know the answer but I can't find the right page, so I go to bed and wake up to find everything solved.

On a lighter note, look what's on sale this weekend:

http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=74094785&extid=July1009

(No, I am not a vm, just happened to see it.)

So right now we've got nothing to do until the Matthew/Christine meetup, right?

 		Hi all. I apologize for my absence this week. Between work and some important social engagements, I was unable to get to my computer, something I obviously didn't expect to happen.

And my postman is always late, so I didn't receive the clue until this morning. ><

I have pages 241 and 242 from Frankenstein. The purple underlined words I have are:
fear
this night is dreadful, very dreadful
dreadful scream
blood
the destruction of the best hope
lifeless and inanimate
Could I behold this, and live?
horror
the feelings that oppressed me
deathly languor and coldness
murderous
the agony of despair
a figure the most hideous and abhorred
corpse

Two letters are circled in orange highlighter:
n
p

The images of the book will be attached.

Great work by everyone during the week! I need to figure out what happened. Smile

-Trinity

EDIT: I'm having problems attaching the photos, but I uploaded them to my Picasa site. http://picasaweb.google.com/tspion. Everything I got in the mail is posted there.

 		The Wiki is pretty much up to date if you'd rather not sift through pages and pages of info here.

We just worked too quickly (or we have a great team) otherwise we probably wouldn't have even gotten through the book clues yet!

Smile

 		Wow! I knew there had to be more to it, but my brain wasn't functioning well last night.

Chris Naip hasn't responded to my email yet...maybe he can help Matthew and Christine from the inside, though I imagine Darrell's got to be pretty suspicious of someone related to Matthew.

 		Alright, here it is, the complete message. Edited a bit, mostly just capitalization and I added some periods here and there so the sentences flowed better. Anything in brackets wasn't underlined but made the sentence make more sense.

Quote:
Pain. Promise of new hopes, all sound of joy or complacency was torture to me; solitude was my only consolation--deep, dark, death-like solitude. Tears, sorrow, despair.

Miserable, suffering, malice, bitterly, Remorse. I had been the author of unalterable evils; and I lived in daily fear, lest the monster whom I had created should perpetrate some new wickedness. Fear I ardently wished to extinguish that [life] which I had so thoughtlessly bestowed. Malice, hatred, revenge, woe, tears, evils, misery, guilty, murdered.

Death. Falsehood. I feel as if I were walking on the edge of a precipice, towards which thousands are crowding, and endeavouring to plunge me into the abyss. Wretched. Despair. Revenge. Tears. Unhappiness. Sorrow. A sorrow it sometimes lulled, although it could not extinguish, my grief.


Fear. This night is dreadful, very dreadful. Dreadful scream. Blood. The destruction of the best hope. Lifeless and inanimate. Could I behold this, and live? Horror. The feelings that oppressed me. Deathly languor and coldness. Murderous. The agony of despair. A figure the most hideous and... abhorred. Corpse.

Hopeless. Something that I had lost. I was bewildered in [a] cloud of wonder and horror. Malignity. Overflowing misery gave way to every gloomy idea that arose. Tears streamed from my eyes. Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. Had snatched from me every hope of future happiness. Vacancy.

The decline of life. Cursed, cursed that brought misery on his grey hairs, and doomed him to waste in wretchedness! What then became of me? I lost sensation, and chains and darkness were the only objects that pressed upon me. But awoke, and found myself in a dungeon. Melancholy followed, but by degrees [I] gained a clear conception of my miseries and situation, and was then released from my prison. As the memory of past misfortunes pressed upon me. Pains. Discover the villain. I had formed in my own heart [a] resolution to pursue my destroyer to death, agony and shudder, horror.

Bitter and loathing despair I am content to suffer alone abhorrence and opprobrium should load my memory Once I falsely hoped to meet with beings who pardoning my outward form, would love me for the excellent qualities which I was capable of bringing forth. I was nourished with high thoughts of honour and devotion. But now vice has degraded me beneath the meanest animal. the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Injustice sinned abandoned I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept, and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing. My work is nearly complete I shall no longer feel the agonies which now consume me or be the prey of feelings unsatisfied yet unquenched.


Many thanks to those who posted their lines, copy and paste is a wonderful tool. Very Happy

 		Nice work catgirl! I'm glad the underlined text actually meant something. They really put a pretty good amount of work into this arg. Very Happy

 		new tweets!

'@agathachristine I agree. We should certainly do something again. There's so much we have to prevent the Institue from 'succeeding'.'
and her to him;
@nogainswoutpain Thank you for coffee. It was great... really great. Smile
