First published in 1994, this was my first story ever written and first published, all that in the same month. Man, I said to myself, this writing thing is a piece of cake. Of course, beginner's luck doesn't last long and while I got to see more of my stories published during the years to follow, it never was this fast and easy again. Still, I keep on writing for not useful purpose that I can think of; I just do it to amuse myself. It is like a bad itch that one keeps on scratching.
