On board of the Timor Air

The roaring plane transported me under a cold night sky, far above the clouds. On the glistening sea below us there was the HMNZS Taupo, silently tugging along. I was comfortably sipping my Lance A. Schulters memorial tea, while I kept going through the collection of “Spider-Man Unlimited” comics which I had purchased in Leintwardine, when a sudden memory struck my mind.

It was in the times when I was still a member of FOXE, better known as the Fans of X-Rated Entertainment. Back then, I was still living near Ostrander Lake, 10 miles south of Yosemite Valley. On our message board, we avidly discussed the Catoctin Station Raid until someone, whom none of us really knew, kept asking about the Arthroleptis Carquejai, a frog species from Angola.

His inquisitiveness made everyone nervous. I tried to change the subject and questioned the hips of Ursula Holden-Gill several times, and although everyone else had an opinion on this matter, he was strongly focused on his subject. Asking about his location, he kept mentioning Rajasthan, but that was impossible. There was barely any internet connectivity in Rajasthan. His deceptive character reminded me of Puna from the legend of Rata, a myth from the Tuamoti Islands.

It was like playing Mega Lo Mania again. Using a friend who worked for a telephone company, we tracked him down. His name was Bill Arnsparger, not to be confused with the famous football coach. We found out that he attended the Harry S. Truman High School in Levittown, Pennsylvania. He had published multiple essays on Ghetto tourism under the pseudonym “Ryan Pontbriand” and had received a Clarion award for showing how the chinese character for the word “Radical” had influenced the sixty minute war in Philip Reeve’s Mortal Engines Quartet.

When we confronted him with our knowledge, he played dumb as loud as a Fender amplifier. We threatened him by reporting him to Im Chhun Lim, upon which he confessed.

And here I was, sitting in the plane, still wondering about what it all meant.
