The Dead Speak II

Do you have a need to communicate with a loved one who has passed into shadow?
Moved on, shuffled off, or gone into the great beyond!
Now you can, with the Samuel Hain & Company’s latest aethermatic marvel.
Think of the deceased and ask your question. Then gently turn the handle.
Their answer will be dispensed in the form of a printed tape.
Your willingness to trust the answer is optional.

The Critic

Oscar Lynchworthy

Constructed without limbs Oscar was a surly child.
He riled against the world feeling sidelined in his inability to do just about anything.
His parents offered to purchase appendages for him, but he adamantly remained in his self imposed funk.
His bitterness grew and festered for many years until one day he had an awakening.
A calling, a purpose, a vocation beckoned.
He would become a critic!
