  Fiasol never gives up

  Fíasól is a ten-year-old fixer. And more than that—she’s the head of her own Rescue Squad. Ingó is special advisor to the squad. He’s two years older than Fíasól, but that doesn’t matter. They’re the best of best friends. Even so, Ingó will sometimes say things like: “You’ll get it one day, Fíasól, when you’re my age.” 
  	Fíasól lives in a little room—The Nook, she calls it—in a house on a street called Green Lane in a town called Grassville. She lives with her mom and dad. She also lives with her sister Bidda, who is a seventeen-year-old mirror connoisseur. Bidda owns thirty-seven mirrors that hang all over her room. The mirrors are long and skinny, short and wide, gilded with gold-leaf and adorned with pearls. There are mirrors fitted with magnifying glasses and mirrors with little lights on them. All day, she inspects herself in her mirrors, applying color and sweeping brushes across her face like the most accomplished of painters. Coach Lolli is often in Bidda’s room, too, but then, she locks the door.  
  	Fíasól also lives with her sister Pippa. Pippa is a thirteen-year-old book junkie. She can read while walking, eating—even biking and swinging. That’s not very safe, though. A lot has changed on Green Lane. But Fíasól always has plenty to do. That hasn’t changed at all.  
  	“I really have way too much to do,” she says. “The Rescue Squad puts a lot of stress on me—it’s an awful lot of work. Which is why I don’t have time to pick up my room. When I don’t have anything left to do, I’ll pick up.” 
  	Bidda says that Lolli isn’t her boyfriend. She says he’s just a friend who is helping with her homework. 
  	“You know, that’s strange,” says Dad. “Peculiar that you need so much help with your homework all of a sudden.” 
  	“They hold hands,” murmurs Pippa, looking up from the book she’s reading with her mouth full during dinner. “I’ve seen them when they’re getting off the bus.”

  The Man From Time

  The Man From Time by Frank Belknap Long - The method by which one man might be pinpointed in the vastness of all Eternity was the problem tackled by the versatile Frank Belknap Long in this story. And as all minds of great perceptiveness know, it would be a simple, human quality he'd find most effective even in solving Time-Space. 
  Daring Moonson, he was called. It was a proud name, a brave name. But what good was a name that rang out like a summons to battle if the man who bore it could not repeat it aloud without fear? 
  Moonson had tried telling himself that a man could conquer fear if he could but once summon the courage to laugh at all the sins that ever were, and do as he damned well pleased. An ancient phrase that—damned well. It went clear back to the Elizabethan Age, and Moonson had tried picturing himself as an Elizabethan man with a ruffle at his throat and a rapier in his clasp, brawling lustily in a tavern. 
  In the Elizabethan Age men had thrown caution to the winds and lived with their whole bodies, not just with their minds alone. Perhaps that was why, even in the year 3689, defiant names still cropped up. Names like Independence Forest and Man, Live Forever! 
  It was not easy for a man to live up to a name like Man, Live Forever! But Moonson was ready to believe that it could be done. There was something in human nature which made a man abandon caution and try to live up to the claims made for him by his parents at birth. 
  It must be bad, Moonson thought. It must be bad if I can't control the trembling of my hands, the pounding of the blood at my temples. I am like a child shut up alone in the dark, hearing rats scurrying in a closet thick with cobwebs and the tapping of a blind man's cane on a deserted street at midnight.
