“There is also an incredible fixation with the paranormal, occultism, magic, sorcery, and spiritualism – all common themes which are very intriguing to children and adults as well. For example, there are The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter, and so on. It is the good magic against the bad magic. It is the classic struggle of good versus evil, but look a little closer and you will find that the good is not good at all. It is what is called white magic. White magic is nothing more than evil dressed up as an angel of light.

And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpointoid lifestyle, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivalent of the good life. And as theories go this was all very fine and pleasant until Veet Voojagig suddenly claimed to have found this planet, and to have worked there for a while driving a limousine for a family of cheap green retractables, whereupon he was taken away, locked up, wrote a book and was finally sent into tax exile, which is the usual fate reserved for those who are determined to make fools of themselves in public.”

In contrast to the rotation of immensity, to the treble glare of inward cyclical rarity, such outward wit carries less than the power of negation.”
