Foreword
It is with great pleasure and a little trepidation that I introduce to you my friends Jay Maclean and Batuto López Garcete. For everybody else they are the authors but for me, they are the Chosen Ones. I say with pleasure because I know that I have chosen the right earthlings to deliver this collection of short stories to you, and also with apprehension for the certainty I have that most people reading these pages will think that they are stories out of the mind of a couple of writers with wild imagination and fascination with writing, music, happiness, and marine life ─whatever is left of it.
Jay and Batuto are telling you stories that are based on reports from my travels. I gave them access to these for a simple reason: you are committing the same mistakes that my ancestors did in a world that no longer exists.
The truth is we three are co-authors. Jay and Batuto are the connections I am using to convey my messages to as many people as soon as possible, because they are aliens just like me (even though they are only aliens from other parts of your planet). By now you may already be asking if these stories are fiction or real. I sincerely hope you will realize their truth.
My name is unpronounceable with the limited phonetics of your alphabets but since I am from another galaxy and I need to travel from star to star, I will call myself AT: Astral Traveler.
