It wasn't often a song stopped me dead in my tracks. All I could do was listen.
And I was filled with feelings of peace and hope. So much I didn't want to move, just listen.
Now there wasn't a tune, a melody, or words to that song. But I was transfixed. If I could have tapped my foot to keep time, I would. It was a catchy song, and filled my heart to overflowing with love and understanding.
A siren's song.
But not of lust and longing for carnal...

She'd been waiting to kill me for a very long time. And run out of patience at last. So she pulled me to her across time and space.

I was walking in my pasture one sunny afternoon, when a pair of hands pulled me into the underworld.
Once I arrived, I relaxed, a bit. Because it was an old friend. Carol. A time-bender and now a Lazurai as well. Meaning she could walk through rock, and other things. "Hi John. How have you been?"

The more circuits in any machine, the more it's likely to get "haunted."
When you connect it to the Internet then you can get more than you asked for.
