Space Patrol Part -1 -
Author's Introduction

You've just spent a lot of time FTPing this story, or downloading, or
printing, or whatever. Now you're wondering : what have I gotten myself
into?

Here's quick explanation.

The story you are about to read is the collective work of a year and a
half of writing. Some of it was done for a writing class, some just for
fun. It is the basis for my _A Future We'd Like to See_ series, introducing
many elements of the 'universe' I work and play in. In otherwords, it's a
prequel to FWLS.

It's a bit more compact than the original draft, a few stories which,
quite frankly, sucked, removed. The quality level of the writing goes from
Okay/Good to Great/Nifty!, since I started the series at the beginning of
the class and wrapped it up a year or so later. If it's looking lousy at
first, read on. You'll get to like it. It gets REALLY weird and twisted
near the end, even though it looks like basic pulp scifi in the beginning.

There are a few spelling and grammar errors, but since the works
aren't finely polished realy-for-publication material (much like any
fiction you can find in the public domain), ya can't expect perfection.
Just a fun read, something to kill time, and maybe a provoking thought or
six about what we think life and reality really are.

Now for the legalese. Skip on if uninterested...

story called Space Patrol with wacky characters named Zeke, Twerp, Jane,
