To the reader,

Life is hard...

It always gets harder...

But when you spot the light of Truth,

it ALL becomes clear!

This is the first time I have published any of my stories under the official pseudonym, Prescott Fry.

You may wonder why I am writing under a pseudonym.

You may think it is because I want to hide behind a penname.

But verily, it is because I choose to express my beliefs and speculations freely, liberal-mindedly, and I do not want my societal ego to over-run my creative mind….

And most importantly,

Money kills everything.

Even Good storytelling.

Therefore, from this publication onward, I will be sure to remind my readers of a message I constantly repeat to myself before sitting down at my computer and going to work:

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental…”

I remind myself that message daily so that I stay humble and remember the Good...

Writing… throughout my journey in a homeless shelter in Maryland… gathering all sorts of fascinating, strange characters through the people I had encountered… to writing on the beaches of Southern California… the beautiful houses… cars… and Women--in all--has been a fun, sometimes taxing experience.

Down to the fundamental nits and grits of survival as a twenty-first century male in a westernized country… I am very, very thankful to everybody who has seen me to the point of finally publishing.

Most of All..

Thankful to God, Krishna, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, Christ, or whomever you choose to call the name for the Ultimate Realization.

Hopefully, these stories reflect those deeper truths.

Enjoy.
