Two stories from BCTS in this volume:

Danny's Perdition: It’s the 24th century and Danny has discovered that his work for the government has several times condemned people to termination. The newest suspect has been thoroughly transformed by a department called “Visual Perfection,” and now Danny must do his duty, once again. Would traveling across the continent in an antique machine offer a realistic alternative?

Also included A Dollar Short: Tilford has a dead-end job. The idea that someone would offer him a great position seems alien.

I Went Out Last Night

This is a true story. Names and place descriptions have been changed to protect the parties involved (especially me!) If you somehow manage to recognize anyone, please keep this story to yourself. I'd like to be welcome back at the places I went. I'd like to especially thank "Jerry" and "Caryn", two delightful people who could almost singlehandedly make you believe in the goodness of humanity.

I went out last night. This was unusual for two reasons. One, my wife didn't want to go with me. We almost always either go out together or stay in together. The other, I've really, really wanted to go out "dressed," as the kids say, and I finally did, after months of self-torment and tribulations. I went out, by myself, wearing high-heeled ultra-suede fabric boots from Payless, a pair of women's Faded Glory jeans, a black camisole top with built-in hidden bra, a purple cardigan sweater and full makeup.
