This was a set of very short stories about garden gnomes, antarctica, dodo birds, disco mirror balls and more that appeared in the August 2003 edition of online magazine The Fortean Bureau.
In November of 1987, a disco mirror ball was found in the back room of the Oak and Tendril, a public house located on the outskirts of Uddersleigh, Hants., UK. Being a hollow sphere of plastic chrome, the ball was lighter than it looked. Because the motorized base to which the mirrorball was attached still smelled of singed plastic, no one suggested plugging it in.
The mirrorball was discovered by a Mr. Noel Hardy, employed at that time as the Oak and Tendril’s dishwasher and general-purpose mop wrangler. It was Hardy who first noticed that every facet reflected a view of a different world, and that none those worlds was our own.
