ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First I want to thank Chris Yost for permission to use most of his characters. The Clarence & Cindy aspect of Chris’s story was never meant to be more then filler, in fact I remember him saying once that he put them together as someone suggested in order to get past some writers block that was hindering the main story. For many of Chris’s readers like me though the two have taken on a life of their own inspiring other stories. I also want to thank Galadrion for allowing me to use some elements of his C & C short Aftermath, if you haven’t read it yet I highly recommend you do before reading mine also while your there I’d recommend reading The Mackelroy Chronicles. And thanks to El Maxx for the advice he’d given me early on in the story, I had been stuck on a part of the story. I knew how I wanted the story to go but was having trouble getting from my head and written down without it sounding too stupid. He told me to just write it down and not worry about how good it is at first since I’d be the only one to read it, then once I have it out I could fix it up to my satisfaction this let me get on with the story, as simple as it is I wouldn’t have thought of it I’d probably still be stuck now Thanks again Maxx. I would like to give special thanks to Tigermark, Cateagle, and Mike Regan for their efforts in editing my mindless ramblings into a readable story, thanks guys.
