This is a story of 'Once Upon A Time'. A Time when governments were so close in excersising 'Mutual Anilation', when people lived with a hidden fear of being vaporized in a nuclear fireball or die an agonizing death of radiation poisoning. This was of a time when a group of teenagers grew up into adulthood, in a school that is said to be #3 in the nation as far as the quality of its students was concerned. A time when the definition of the word Friendship would be written on stone, with the blood and tears shed. When some experiemented with mind or body augmentation, mystic arts explored, and powers learned and abused. This was a time when all things innocent would be a target, and one teenager's attempt to keep it together. This was New York City, 1977 - 1984; with a final recap happening in 1997. This story is about keeping those memories alive, despite the works of many trying to make history forget it all. The story flows in reverse order, as I make a mad man's attempt to preserve the data stored on old 5 1/4 inch diskettes and cassette tapes the digital diary was written on. Book 5- 85% complete.
