“The ending of my story should be spoiled for you in one respect; since I’m narrating in the first person, it will be fairly obvious that I don't die at the end. However, consider me a survivor of a race car crash, who lost a few psychic limbs in the inferno.”

Thanks for accepting my friend invite! Been a huge fan of Punktown since reading Monstrocity...loved the ordinary guy protagonist getting into an extraordinary situation. Recently got the Centipede Press box set to round out my collection. Looking forward to any new stories you have planned!
