FOREWORD: This is not a story for children. This is a story for consenting,
well-informed adults. If you are under the age of majority where you live,
read no further. Close the file, you scamps. If you are of age, believe you
keep an open mind, have some time to spare for reading, and you already have
some idea of what you're going to find between this sentence and the end of
the document, then come right in.
