The following is a work of fiction and is just a fantasy. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental and entirely unintentional. There may be references to people in a historical context, but they are not really characters in this story. This is a story that describes some sexually explicit situations in a fictional universe that only vaguely seems to be similar to the real universe. Most of the characters in this story are under aged, however the target audience is adults (people over the age of eighteen) with broad minds. Afterword I guess that this is the point in the story where I am supposed to assure you that we all lived happily ever after. Alas, life isn't that simple. At times, I thought myself very lucky indeed to have found those tickets. Although I had occasionally found myself cursing them for what they did, I have to admit that it really wasn't the fault of the tickets themselves, but rather my own short-sightedness and immaturity. But even after finding the tickets, I learned that some of the happiest moments of my life had nothing to do with the tickets at all: serenading Kristen on the first day of school and our overnight trip to Chicago together for my sixteenth birthday are two of them that spring immediately to mind. There is an old adage that says that power corrupts, and that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Those tickets represent power, and I've witnessed how despicable that I could become when I allowed myself to use the tickets for the wrong reasons. I've repeatedly made vows to myself never to use those tickets like that anymore, but alas, I am only human, and as much as I'd like to say that I learned my lessons, the temptation of the tickets combined with the frustrations of life sometimes prove too powerful a temptation to resist. Despite those moments, I have to point out that there are many positive things that came from the tickets: I found friendship, I found love, I've made people happy, and they have made me happy. For the first time, I found myself thinking a little of others rather than just keeping myself in the center of my own universe, and the tickets have made me stop and think of unexpected ramifications of my actions before I do something--these things indicated that I was actually growing up. And I feel it was those "lucky tickets" that were either directly or indirectly responsible for all of these. Would I have been able to stand up to my mother if I hadn't been emboldened by the tickets? I would like to think that I would, but the truthful answer was that I probably wouldn't--at least, not at the age when I did it. Sometimes, I wonder what other people would have done if they had found the tickets. Would somebody else have used them in a more mature way than I did at first? Would they end up making the same mistakes? There's no way for me to know for sure. At other times, I wonder how my life would have turned out if I hadn't found those tickets. Once again, although I have no way of knowing for sure, it's still a matter of fact that of all the people that I held dearest to me on my sixteenth birthday, only my family would have been part of that group if I had never stumbled across those tickets. With all things considered, I guess would have to say that I am grateful for having found them. So, what lies in store for a sixteen year old boy who seems to have the world in the palm of his hands? That, my friend, is another story... and one that I'll only be too happy to tell--next time! * * * A FINAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: To everybody that has sent suggestions, compliments, pointed out errors, and otherwise sent me feedback, I would like to once again thank you. I do indeed read every message sent to me, and I try to respond individually to each personal message sent. This story has, by far, attracted more attention than any other story I have written; I'm simply amazed and thrilled that so many people seem to like the story. In particular, I want to express my sincere thanks to two people--Jeff Warner and Terry--who have sent in corrections and other information related to the chapters that I had posted, resulting in changes that make the story more factually and grammatically correct. As I hint in the Afterword above, I do intend to continue this story with at least one sequel: I've already written an additional five chapters which will somehow be adapted to become the beginning of the next entry of this saga, which I will start writing in the beginning of 2004. Once again, thank you for making it this far into the story. I'm sorry if the story seems to end abruptly, but I would prefer have this story "completed" rather than keep it "in progress" for an extended period of time. After all, isn't that what sequels are for?
