1888: Dr. John H. Watson, Army Corps surgeon turned colleague of the celebrated consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, decides not to assist in future cases as he is engaged to Mary Morstan. 1926: Mary Forrester discovers her mother’s diary, covering the years 1889 to 1893 - her marriage to Watson. What occurred in those years? How was the quintessential male friendship of Holmes and Watson seen through a woman’s eyes? How stable was a marriage where Watson was liable to abandon Mary at Holmes’s summons? Who, ultimately, was Mary Morstan - a figure seldom referred to in Arthur Conan Doyle’s sixty Holmes stories? This blend of fact and fiction sheds light on a virtually unexplored dimension of the Great Detective’s exploits. It is a perspective Sherlock Holmes - who elevated “true, cold reason … above all things” - would probably not appreciate. But for all its warmth and irrationality, there is just as much truth in the heart. Views: 380

The Buzludzha Files: De-classified! An ‘Atom’ is 99.999999% (recurring) empty space. if we removed all of the empty space from within the human body, our entire species, that is to say, every person on earth would now be no bigger in size than that of a single sugar cube Isabella Davies PhD is a pseudonym of British singer/songwriter: Jonathan R, P. Taylor.An ‘Atom’ is 99.999999% (recurring) empty space… if we removed all of the empty space from within the human body, our entire species, that is to say every person on earth, would now be no bigger in size than that of a single sugar cubeIsabella’s madness, her decent into chaos, has, as many a mortal genius would agree, given us a work of wonder. For Communists in Outer Space is so much more than a generic study of quantum or astrophysics. It is a work of pure genius, of absolute splendour, the truth is examined in magnitude. Produced whilst held in captivity, who are we to say what is fiction or what is fact? What matters is that for Isabella, here lies ‘her’ truth. A truth that has inevitably cost her dearly. History is filled with those who give accounts of divine experience, a Holiness unexplained. The Prophets Mohammed (peace be upon him), Jesus and Moses, and countless others have all heard the Divine word of instruction, as I Gabriela too. But here, in Isabella’s own account we learn for the first time of new, undiscovered Prophets - those of the Socialists.Having completed her Ph.D, ‘Pyschopic Husbandry’, it may be argued that further studies into time and space travel, or telepathy and telekinesis was inevitable? Constraints and restrictions cannot be put onto the young enquiring scientists mind – for her mind was opened and it received – But what had it received? For here within her text, the history of Socialism is now completely re-written, the Godless Communist is now given faith – a faith and belief that their own determination to conquer destroyed. Are there Communists out there in outer-space? Are their dead souls trapped within the walls of Buzludzha? Here Isabella answers that question. Views: 380
