D-Man could tell could how frustratingly logical my thinking goes! OK, I can think of two things related to time that only last a moment then it's gone (although both could be argued) but we're talking about the actual moment, that might be mentioned in an advert. Birth and death. (Birth control or coffins, life insurance, etc.) Life is the most precious thing but it only lasts a moment, then it's gone. I'll go with that and assume your advert was for life insurance or against abortion. :nod:
nope nope nope:D
ok The advert was a vodaphone advert and if you dont know what that is its a cell/mobile phone company well actually a line more than company they dont make phones

Week's up! Here come another Shadow short mystery by me, writing as Jonathan Blade......
The Ghost of Kinderhook Manor by Jonathan Blade
“Do you believe in ghosts?”
Lamont Cranston studied his martini as he considered his answer. Commissioner Weston wasn’t the type to ask frivolous questions.
“I couldn’t really say, Commissioner. I’ve been in many strange places and seen things that aren’t easily explained by science. Why do you ask?” An eerie burning glow smoldered deep in Cranston’s eyes, but Weston took no notice.
“It’s the old Kinderhook Manor, out near Tarreytown.”
“Surely, that’s out of your jurisdiction, Commissioner?” The gleam grew in Cranston’s eyes.
“It is. But Captain Stormfield and I are old friends. I was up that way visiting last week. The Kinderhook Manor is one of the oldest houses in this part of the country. It has passed down from father to son for 200 years, from the time of old Koenrad Kinderhook.
“But when the last Kinderhook died, one Gottfried, his son Abraham could not be located as he was an explorer in Africa. The house was kept open by servants, pending Abraham’s return. They were given a monthly stipend for that very purpose. That was 20 years ago.
“Last Thursday, Abraham Kinderhook showed up, produced proof of identity, and was able to retrieve money his father left him at the bank. Then, together with Stormfield and I, went to take possession of the house. Tiebolt, the Butler, met us at the door with a handful of flashlights. The only light in the house came from a few candles, and the cook’s fireplace. She was also with Tiebolt, holding a large tabby, and two others were at her feet. Tiebolt explained that the gas had been turned off for non-payment, but he would show us around.
“As we ascended the staircase, the cook screamed. Tiebolt cursed, and pointed. All of us clearly saw a transparent figure of a woman float across the balcony, and wink out. Kinderhook told of a legendary family ghost, which Tiebolt swore had been haunting them for months. The duced cats were the only calm ones present after that, I can tell you!”
Lamont chuckled in a way reminiscent of The Shadow. “Tell Captain Stormfield to assure Abraham Kinderhook that his ancestral home is not haunted. And have him arrest Tiebolt and the cook. And by the way, check all of those flashlights!”
WHAT DOES THE SHADOW SUSPECT AND WHY?

Some form of hollographic projector?
OK. I'll accept, since you probably didn't know that the Shadow's world is 30's-40's New York. Now solve the why. ;)Quote:
