Ship sightings.

A young woman goes to see a doctor about her condition. This is not an illness, but a condition that would let her fill in for The Angel in the X-Men if he had to take a holiday.

The doctor is not just that he seems, either.

A man needs to get his physics straight when asking for supernatural dieting assistance.

Planet busting phoneme.

Mailed man.

Be choosy with literature and statuary.

I think there are quite a few people that will find this rather on the dry side, as the two characters at the start discuss the psychology of evil, and then the story becomes a large passage from an imaginary book. This is quite lacking in paragraphs, so a bit of a pain to read in this book, electronic maybe better here.

This was in a book I had as a kid that was quite influential. Still remember it vividly, so must be good! Slyly funny satire - angelic life is boring, and you can't talk to dead Germans or cavemen when you don't speak the same language!

Supernatural lawyer customer service sucks.

Tail conducting.

Conflict success not much fun for anyone.

Protection racket repulsing requires lobbying.

Handy to have invisible tv stuff for boring school.

Watching those that will come, for a long, long time.

Once upon a time a swordsman battled a sorcerer. As was fairly de rigeur, really.

To paraphrase Guru Bob, 'a good big barbarian with weapon will always beat a good little sorcerer when the magic goes away.'
