Yesterday and Today
Mar. 7th, 2007 12:45 amHey.
In 1986, I was seriously contemplating a story that sprung from my reading of Heinlein's Number of the Beast. My idea was that a fascist society from a parallel continuity was invading our own Earth, and a teenage man was the only person in a position to stop them. I didn't get very far with writing it, and now I'm too afraid to look at it for the horror it must be, twenty years later.
Yesterday in my travels, I looked in on a dollar store and saw a rack of Zebra sci-fi novels. One of them had a plot that looked similar to what I would have written.
I'm glad I didn't try to get my story published.
These days, if aliens or otherhumans came here and wanted to take over, I wonder if I'd sooner throw in with them than fight for "my" country. I'm so disgusted with the powers that be and the pervasive evil and immorality of the times.
SPECTRE? Big Fire? Cobra? Bunker Pirates? You all know my number. You know when Dead Hour is too.
