Why this must be read:

This story is an all-time classic. It was originally published in the print fanzine “Sun and Shadow” in 1980.

Please do not all caps your subject line. There is a template for posting in the instructions you were provided.

Very sorry about that. I thought I was using the template properly, but I didn't see anything which said to use either all caps or title case. So I thought I'd look at examples of crack_van recs in my in box, and the two I checked had the titles in all caps. (Figures, doesn't it? :-)

I've been away for over a week, but I plan to start posting soon. Hope I get it right this time...!
