Each of these A-Z presentations of new work-in-progress supplementing the Oxford English Dictionary contains about three thousand words, but the series ended in 1997.

I dreamed that I taunted a Ninja who I saw walking in a neighborhood. I went a distance from him and posed like I would fight him. Then I counted on my dream powers to fly away. But when he got to the bridge where I stood, and when he began taunting a group of school children, and I challenged him, thinking I would fly, instead I fell, as he did, into the water. When he hit the water, he was in a round small capsule, which I tried to bury in the mud, but he expanded and broke free. I ran but left clues to my identity. Then he pursued me in a creepy old house. I hid behind a shower curtain, but was discovered by a resident who screamed. Yet she was more afraid of the Ninja, so we were both quiet.

At another time in the dreams, I found evidence that a man had conspired to murder his wife. Faulty ladders and steps had been set like traps to injure her. However, the tables were turned and I became pursued.
