'Manna-X' Head thing

There are two huge influences in 'Manna-X'. One of them is 'Waiting for Godot', with the three hobgoblins playing out the roles with boots, hats and damn craziness of nothingness, along with the four Bobs after they have been...moved. But mainly the hobgoblins.
The other influence is 'The Master and Margarita'. What a book. There's a certain quote by one character which says something like "What use is a head?" I took it many ways :-) Why don't you have a read? It's damn cheap as an ebook. It's worth the money just for the complete King Solomon collection, which includes many fantastic toys such as [censored due to wanting someone to buy the thing].

Interview by the GREAT Paul Dorset

A long time ago, far, far away in a distant galaxy... Paul Dorset 'gave' me an interview. He has 59k followers on twitter, has written a million books, and also has a freebie 'Ryann'.
Here is the interview, it's quite funny as it goes...

I had actually forgotten about this. I did this just before writing 'Manna-X', which now has two 5 star reviews!
I'll hopefully have another soon with another great self-published author :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Undeniably Clever and Ever-So-Slightly Batty! 16 Jun 2013

By Rebecca

Format:Paperback

Dani J Caile's 'Manna - X' is an extremely entertaining and hugely humourous read. It's a story full of wit and tongue-in-cheek interpretations of all (well, not quite all) things Christianity'ish and the peculiarities of modern life. It has a great plot which follows fascinating characters in their race to retrieve the Manna-X machine, and often had me chortling aloud at the undeniably clever and ever-so-slightly batty imagination of the author. I found myself at times wondering how on earth someone could come up with such plausible, yet, completely off-the-wall, alternative explanations about burning bushes, the 10 Commandments and the like. A good laugh. Highly recommended!

"An afterlife! I must get back to tell! I must!" The head floated up to connect with the body as it regressed back to its former formless self.

"Back? Get back? Whatever makes you think you're going back? This is it, buddy. Done. Completo. Or non pieno in your case."

"What? Yes, back. I called emergency before I fell off the roof."

Graham saw that wasn't the only thing the guy had done. He'd set it up in true 'Darwin award' style. The guy had dug enough sharp objects into the ground below the roof that would keep an invasion away. He was sure the collection of garden shears next to the front door could stop a tank.

"Fell? You jumped. I'm surprised I'm even here. Anyhow, you didn't reckon on the usual mid-afternoon mothers-picking-up-their-kids-from-school traffic and those new roadworks they've just opened up on the B-road from the hospital, did you?"

"What? Are you telling me...?"

"Yes, you've been on that spike for a while now. But don't worry, stupidity is not part of the criteria for going 'up above'..." Graham's communicator bleeped. He answered it while the soul walked around, still trying to work out what had happened.

"Yes?"

"Graham! Get back here right now! The boss has got a job for ya! You've got to see Deirdre in her office. Now!"

"Загробной жизни! Я должен вернуться сказать! Я должен!" Глава всплыла, чтобы соединиться с телом, как это регресс к своей былой бесформенное себя.

"Назад? Вернусь? Что заставляет вас думать, что вы собираетесь вернуться? Вот оно, приятель. Готово. Completo. Pieno или не в вашем случае."

"Что? Да, спины. Я вызвал скорую, прежде чем я упал с крыши."

Грэм увидел, что была не единственная вещь, парень сделал. Он поставил его в стиле "Дарвин премия« правда.Парень вырыл достаточно острые предметы в землю под крышей, что будет держать вторжения далеко. Он был уверен, что коллекция садовые ножницы рядом с входной дверью может остановить танк.

"Упал? Вы прыгали. Я удивлен, я даже здесь. Во всяком случае, вы не рассчитывали на обычных середине дня матерей-подъем-их-Дети-из-школы пробок также новые дорожные работы, они уже только что открыли на B-дорогу от больницы, а вам? "

"Что? Вы говорите мне ...?"

"Да, вы были на шип, что на некоторое время теперь. Но не волнуйтесь, глупость не является частью критериев собирается 'наверху' ..." Коммуникатор Грэма гудками. Он ответил на него в то время как душа ходил, все еще пытаясь понять, что случилось.

"Да?"

"Грэм! Вернись прямо сейчас босс есть работа для тебя! Ты должен увидеть Дейдра в ее кабинете. Сейчас!"

Jesus was a stand up comedian!

Perhaps this will do it...
For the past few months, someone's been dropping little pieces of paper which have "Jesus lives" and "Jesus is King" written on them. Just down one street, my street. Do they know something? Is it someone I know? 'Bethlehem Fiasco' is a great little read if you ever get the chance...
Thinking about it, perhaps Jesus was a stand up comedian! He turned water into wine? Healed the sick? Perhaps it was his presence, you know some people, when they walk into a room, make you feel fantastic, they have 'presence', they make you feel great. Perhaps Jesus was someone like that, they made the people feel so good that outsiders thought they were drinking wine rather than water...
Oh, it's just a tiny little thought, nothing serious. But if I'd said that a few 100 years ago, I would've been burned at the stack, after having my [censored] and my [censored]...churches and religions, huh. "No one expects the Spanish In...!"

"Where am I?" Alicia's words came out before she opened her eyes. Once open, she was staring straight at the rooftops of a city through a wall to wall window in a small studio apartment.

"Ah, you're back. Want tea?" Graham was sitting at the table in his open plan kitchen cum living room, inspecting Alicia's necklace and pendant.

"Where am I?" By the looks of it, she was in this man's apartment. A strange man's apartment. A dream come true, but not the way she'd imagined.

"This is my place, not much but it makes do."

Alicia sat up on the sofa. Nice flat, shame about the face. She slapped her hands on the cushions to get Graham's attention.

"Look, I...I...what...who...who are you? What do you want? Why am I here?"

"That's a lot of questions. My name's Graham."

"Yes, that I do know." Ordinary face, ordinary name. "Why am I here?"

"Because of this. Or rather what it leads to."

"My head hurts."

"It would. Monk...humans aren't meant to go through portals, least not live ones."

"What?"

"Portals. I sent you through two...well, three to get here. They're not exactly healthy for physical beings."

“Good, good. We are keeping up with them, whatever they are doing, and one step in front of the others. Ah, it's better to be ahead.”

“Much better to be a whole body,” said Lucifer under his hood.

Satan was getting tired of these jibes from Lucifer. Why couldn't he stare in his mirror as he usually did and be quiet. A little light bulb flickered on in his head, went out, flickered, out again, then burned intensely until the filament went 'pop'. A new bulb was put in.

“Luci, my dear, you are a genius!”

“What?”

“A genius! A head! Come with me!” Satan took Lucifer by the hand, perhaps for the first and last time ever in physical infinity, and tugged him through the bar to the double doors at the back which led to the offices, laboratories, torture rooms, baths and dog grooming parlours.

“Heads, dear boy, heads.”

“Yes, it's good to have one. On the neck is a good place.”

“Mmm, some people are not so fortunate, as you will see.”

Lucifer never liked going into the backrooms with Satan, he couldn't be sure what he'd find.
