Preface

These twisted tales represent the author's best efforts to capture in words the more interesting and/or amusing stories that have intruded into his consciousness over the years.

No admission is made whether these simple stories, imaginings, delusions, and/or wild ravings escaped out into the human experience from within the confines of a mental maelstrom vibrating in the flux of overwhelming energy saturating the author's fevered brain, or were drawn whole cloth from the ethereal ether by the vacuous emptiness of the author's deep dark inner void.

The intention of the author is that each story be true to itself, and progress within its own logical framework. The author offers no other explanation as to why some readers may find the perspectives and conclusions of these stories mutually contradictory.

These questions and others are left up to the reader to decide for themselves.
