A weird twist is that today I cannot remember if I came across the stories before or after I joined. I don’t remember having read them any more after about age 22, 23, or 24. More than a decade later, I began trying to dig them up again, but I had lost the scent. I dropped the search and picked it up again a few times, but that was pre-internet, so it was quite difficult. Even now with search engines, I still haven’t picked up the trail. I have never been able to recall the title(s), author, publisher, settings, place names, character names, nothing.
