Milty's Mag Page two THE motion was slow, and consisted nostly of drifting over the lanscape. This was without control, and several times I was disturbed by impending collisions with objects until I realized (and my mind held this realization on thru subsecuent dreams) that I was in bed and could not be hurt. This sort of thing alleviated the tedium of three days. Then that period of blankness. I fell asleep in one place and woke up in another place. When I awoke I thought I was still at the college, until I saw the gold bar on the nurse's uniform, and I knew it was Camp Adair now. Unconscious, I thought. For how long? Then later on the details were told to me. It was four hours during which I moved around, talked, answered questions, tho not too intelligently, and therwise carried on as though concious. But not remembered Amnesia? The doctor said probably. And when I read my chart (against the rules) I saw this extremely interesting thing: "Shortly after intravenous feeding was started, the patient fell asleep. When he awoke he looked like an entirely different person, and was quite alert and intelligent." For that was when I really awoke. A couple hundred years ago they would have said that I'd been possessed by an putside force during those four hours. Five years ago I'd have been in the hospital for months, if I'd gotten out at all. Progress and sulfa drugs now produces a cure in four or five days. The rest of the time is pure gravy: a GI vacation, conducive to the writing of Milty's Mag. More stuff Dept: During that memorable stay in the hospital, there was a time when I was reduced to the pitiful and desperate state of reading a publication known by the title of "Life Story", of the same general nature as "True Confessions." In it was an featured a story by one Paul Ernst. Could it be the mighty Paul Ernst of decade-ago Weird Tales and Astounding Stories? ... .... .... It's fairly certain that I'll be overseas before the year is out. The army says that all men in ever a year must go this year. Now I've been in 20 months, and the most strenous action I've seen has been a 3-day bivouac and a formal dance at the college. Raised Eyebrow Dept: A few weeks age Fantasy Fiction Field featured a lithographed cover entitled "Intolerance" which purported to be a scene from Atlantis. While looking through a book on the history of the movies, the other day, lo and behold, I found the same scene: Belshazzar's palace, from the D.W. Griffith movie "Intolerance", made in 1916. An enormous scene for any year.
