The fourteen stories in this book were subjects I had thought of in days where I could do little else than sit and watch TV or write. I decided to take a couple of these stories and use them as a basis for future books. I included aThe First Mardi Grasa so some who cannot go to Mardi Gras could have an idea of what it would be like. aThe Returna gives an idea of just how a country could be misled if they did not pay attention. aThe MORa was an idea I had about reusing parts of oneas own damaged organs to replace those shot up in police raids. I have presented a mix of fiction along with science fiction in my stories, which in some instances are an Approach to Reality.
