After all, each story is a Rorschach Test, isn't it? And if people find beasties and bedbugs in my ink-splotches, I cannot prevent it, can I?

More often than not, as we know, he simply isn't there. Ray Bradbury

Go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you must create.
