To two very special influences on this boy’s life and writing: Mr. Rod Serling, for his talent and imagination that continues on far beyond the
Zone
; and to Mr. Ray Bradbury. Your lake will always be deeper and sweeter than mine, your jar hold greater mysteries, your rockets travel truer to the heart. Thank you so very, very much.
Well, I see by the old clock on the wall that it’s time to go. Good-bye, kids!
