Sci-Shorts-300 Science-Fiction Short-Stories The Master Projector The Time-Suit The Refracted Man The Misplaced Man	Longer Short-Stories and Novellas The first long short-story I wrote was based upon a real-life experience that occurred in the summer of 1984 while I was homeless and scavenging for survival in and around Los Angeles, California. I called it "The Master Projector". It was perhaps one of the most twilight-zonish and outer-limits-like experiences I ever had and the story was meant to reflect that atmosphere. It was an attempt to put a science-fictional explanation on the experience while making it all the more interesting as a story for the reader. It was also a way to record some of the actual experiences I had while homeless in Southern California during the 80s. Writing my way out of depression actually became a bit of a habit after the successful enlightenment of "Report for the Defense", and once I realized this ability, I eventually began to extend it to longer shorts and novellas. The novella is a a long short-story that usually includes many sub-chapters but falls some- what short of being a short novel. The very first such novella that i wrote from the "suicidal escape" angle was "The Refracted Man". Although the main character never actually became suicidal, he was at the point of desperation and hopelessness that often leads to it. However, in his case, something very strange occurred before he reached that point and he escaped in a much different way. I wrote "The Time-Suit" specifically to explore my interest in the possibilities of "time-travel" within a short-story, to visit a realm of the past which fascinates me in a romantic way (pre-European North America), and to give the protagonist a chance to undo a terrible wrongful injustice which occurred in local history in the 17th century. The story also plays with the question of alterations in past history and how those changes might affect the time-line.
