Solomon Stinger really was entirely alone. A forlorn creature totally lost, bravely whistling in the dark. Never at any time during a long and eventful previous existence had he felt more alone. He was in fact more hopelessly alone than any other human had ever been. Cast list...

It seemed Rico was regarded by the voice as a “dutiful servant”. Within months of Theta’s promise, the prediction of his acquisition of “a much larger beehive” was fulfilled, but at a tragic cost. The millennium was nearing its end when through the Hotel's door sidled a hunched figure, almost surreptitiously it seemed.

Somewhere in the background of a spinning mind Rico becomes aware of a brass band playing. It was definitely somewhere in the town - and the sound is becoming louder by the moment. That painfully familiar sense of foreboding develops until it floods his consciousness. The Professor has also heard the band music and follows the waiter outside the hotel to investigate. Outside on the pavement they stand together. Open-mouthed and incredulous they drink in an amazing scene. Totally uncomprehendi...

Some months have passed since Rico had been given instructions by the mind voice at the beehive to bring a scientist to the hive entrance. Now he has brought Professor Stinger in person. But at the beehive the Professor is taken unwell, with no forewarning in the grip of some sort of seizure. The Professor begins mouthing indecipherable words, for all the world as if he too was in conversation with those ceaselessly humming nectar gatherers in the hive. At length his composure returns. ...

Whilst this bar‑room pantomime had been taking its course the news-flash mentioned recently by the doctor was indeed being transmitted world-wide.
