  The Thing in the Trunk by Paul Ernst - A fascinating story about a heinous crime and its strange aftermath! 
  Somehow or other, the cat was the worst feature of this whole thing. 
  Now that it was all over, the stark motionlessness of that which only a little while before had been a living woman did not trouble him so much. But that damned cat! 
  "Get out !" he rasped. "Scat!" 
  The cat slunk back, eyes slitted warily, but did not leave the room. 
  It was a standard living-room in a standard small bungalow. An overstuffed chair stood in a corner with a floor-lamp beside it. Opposite the chair, along one wall, was a divan to match. 
  A gate-legged table stood between the front windows-the blinds of which were very carefully drawn. More furniture, decorous, showing modest prosperity, was piled along the walls, leaving the center of the room clear. 
  The rugs had been rolled back from the center of the room. In their place was a large, waterproof blanket. On the blanket was the body. 
  George Opper ducked his head to wipe perspiration from his face onto the sleeve of his shirt. He was a big man, a bit too heavy, with a face that was normally florid. It was very pale, now.

  The Joyful Wisdom

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  "The Joyful Wisdom," written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra," is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life. In the retrospective valuation of his work which appears in "Ecce Homo" the author himself observes with truth that the fourth book, "Sanctus Januarius," deserves especial attention: "The whole book is a gift from the Saint, and the introductory verses express my gratitude for the most wonderful month of January that I have ever spent." Book fifth "We Fearless Ones," the Appendix "Songs of Prince Free-as-a-Bird," and the Preface, were added to the second edition in 1887.

  Maniq loves her ittu (short for ittupajaaq, an Inuktitut word for grandfather). He's brave-enough to wrestle the grumpiest polar bear, if he ever needed to! He's tall-enough to see over the tallest mountain tops. He's generous-enough to walk through a blizzard to make sure others have delicious food to eat. And above all, he loves his grandkids, every single one of them-and there must be close to one hundred, by Maniq's count at least!
