                            Cover of Weird Tales: The Unique Magazine, November 1928 (Vol. 12, No. 5), price 25¢ (30¢ in Canada). 

Cover painting by C. C. Senf

Highlighted story illustrating The MYSTERY in ACATLAN by Rachael Marshall and Maverick Terrell.

A dramatic scene against a plain lavender-grey background. At left, a menacing Mexican man in a wide sombrero, tan fringed jacket, and red trousers with a white and green sash strides forward, his arm raised high to crack a long whip that coils in an S-shape above his head. His face is contorted in anger, with a dark moustache; a spur glints on his heel. At right, a frightened dark-haired young woman has fallen to the ground, kneeling and recoiling, one arm raised to shield her face. She wears an off-the-shoulder blue floral gown and a pale fringed shawl, and white stockings and shoes are visible beneath her skirt. Text on the cover: the large "Weird Tales" masthead in white outlined letters at top, with "The Unique Magazine" beneath it; the story title "The MYSTERY in ACATLAN by Rachael Marshall and Maverick Terrell" in ornate lettering upper right; "November 1928" lower right; and author names along the bottom border: "Edmond Hamilton — H. Warner Munn — B. Wallis — Adolphe de Castro — Frank Owen — and Others." The entire illustration sits within a salmon-pink border.

                                              She’s told me she’s visiting. To stay at my end for a few days. How do I explain to her that things have changed? I’m in a relationship now and besides, it’s not a good time of the month to host a visitor. Financially, all isn’t well.

                                              I take a piece of paper, and do some maths after which I pick my phone.

                                              “Hi Nina! Sorry, something came up. Why don’t I send you some money to buy a few things for yourself and your family. We can postpone your visit to some other appropriate time.”

                                              I thought it was a good proposition.

                                              She explained that she wasn’t interested in the money. That for five years she’s been home without a job, and unable to further her education, and the thought of constantly being at home not knowing where her life was headed was slowly killing her, sometimes making her think of suicide.

                                              She wanted a change of environment. Not money. Or pity.

                                              I hadn’t expected such an answer.

                                              “Alright. You have my word. Come when you’re ready. I will pay for your transport when you’re going back.” I assured her.

                                              After the call, I thought deeply about what she told me. A person could descend to this pit in life where they’ll do anything to get out of their stifling environment. I felt sorry for my friend.

                                              She was taking a bold step. Against her mother’s will. Against every logic. People won’t understand. But she knew that she had to do it for herself. I respected her boldness and the step.

                                              How I wished I could do more than host her in the city for the first time. I know certainly no one will understand us. My girlfriend wouldn’t understand why another girl is at my end for a couple of days. But how can I live with myself should my friend hang herself because she had no one to go to, someone to calm her when things were spiraling out of control in her life?

                                              After our phone conversation, I thought about the times we’ve had together. How I used to chase her, and all the excuses she gave for not accepting to date me. If only she accepted, I wouldn’t have gone through the wasted years with pretenders.

                                              But somehow, I’m grateful to God for the bad times. I think back then, I was a fool and would have messed up her kind soul and heart if she had accepted to date me. Now, I was an adult and thought and acted differently. Now, I’m resolved to do everything within my power to ensure that my friend makes it in life, no matter what others will think is between us, no matter what insults will be hurled at us.

                                              I’ve let so many people down in the past. And this was my golden opportunity to redeem myself.

Ruaraidh MacThòmais

An iarmailt cho soilleir tana
mar gum biodh am brat-sgàile air a reubadh
’s an Cruthaidhear ’na shuidhe am fianuis a shluaigh
aig a’ bhuntàt ’s a sgadan,
gun duine ris an dèan E altachadh.
’S iongantach gu bheil iarmailt air an t-saoghal
tha cur cho beag a bhacadh air daoine
sealltainn a-steach dha’n an t-sìorruidheachd;
chan eil feum air feallsanachd
far an dèan thu chùis le do phrosbaig.

The atmosphere clear and transparent
as though the veil had been rent
and the Creator were sitting in full view of His people
eating potatoes and herring,
with no man to whom He can say grace.
Probably there’s no other sky in the world
that makes it so easy for people
to look in on eternity;
you don’t need philosophy
where you can make do with binoculars.
