Dear Editor: I would like to contribute to your magazine. Such as it is. Below is the first paragraph from a piece I’m currently onworking, which is about some financially successful young people who suddenly realize they’re deeply out of touch with their feelings and probably need therapy (don’t worry, it’s got a Sci-Fi “twist”):

Smooth Sailing for Transoceanic Trucking
January 12, 2006These are seemingly dark days in the transoceanic trucking industry. The seas are as deep and gloomy as they’ve ever been. Lotsa truck cabs are unheated and unpressurized, and they typically crumple under the pressure of even one aquasphere. More important, the goods being transported get wet, and flatter, even if they were wet and flat to begin with. So it’s harder than normal to retain drivers, much less good ones, as they usually don’t last for much more than one leg of an underseas road trip.

How We Won The Clone War
July 31, 2005When The Clone War started up, my comrades and I in The Rebel Federation quickly determined that it was an exact duplicate of an earlier war, known simply as The War. A war that we had won. So we carefully did everything exactly the same again, using, ironically, clones of soldiers who had fallen in The War.

Change
May 26, 2007Change is inevitable. Eventually, I’ll have to buy something that doesn’t cost exactly $1, $5, and so forth.
