Dear Adventurer,
My justification as an author stems from conflict between my invincible eraser and an indelible mind. At conception I inherited the right to exclusive possession of a head on a ninety-nine year lease from God, complete with blank recording surfaces, microscopic bats and force majeure clause.

On reading the head for age, frequently it’s eleven, periodically it’s ninety. The median varies over the range between these extremities with uncontrollable chameleonic adaptability. After transcending twenty-six layers of Naraka, it obtained an Iacchus dancing degree for Lupercalia. This latter honour was accomplished as a Lapithae disciple duing the strugge with the Centaurs.

While in the service of my country, I simultaneously acquired supplementary skills in Naval Electrics, Passbuckery, Electronics and Pongo Mayhem Tactics.

Despite this accumulation of scholarly honours I have survived two wars, two peaces and continuing onslaught in various forms, relatively free of culture and inhibition.

With this in mind, it is hoped you will be lenient toward any transgressions to be found in my writing. My entire personality, relatives and habitat are universal. These are my credentials.

Yours forever, A. Moen

Parting sophistry: It is difficult from a distance to tell where fiction ends and fact begins.
