Synopsis

Part I of this collection is mostly autobiographical vignettes written just after the author's (abbreviated) stint at Cornell University -- (with the exception of ‘Execution at the Fiar’, which was written much later). 'They are presented in chronological order as best I can remember and are of such diverse styles as to resist even the simple act of collating them into a book in any other logical manner. The attentive reader will discern the reason that the styles are so diverse as adolescent experimentation. (Suffice it to say this was a period of experimentation in many ways.) Part II are more modern stories composed mostly as short pieces presented first on blogs and social media.
