  Dedication

  This one’s for the wizard in the Hawaiian shirt, the cyborg in the business suit, and the robot in the socks and sandals.

  Acknowledgements

  Thanks for reading! There’s really no point to writing stories if no one’s going to read them. I mean, I’m going to write them either way, but it makes me seem less crazy if real people read my stories when I get done with them. What I’m trying to say is thanks for legitimizing this crazy thing I do. You’re awesome.

  Everything bad that you’ve read in this book is my doing, but all of the good things can be attributed to a list of people, muties, and one-pluses from across the pre-Revived Earth who will now be thanked whether they like it or not.

  God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, who know everything.

  The Poet Greene, the Poet Khuri, and the Poet Edison, who all know what they did.

  DJ Bodden, who knows how helicopters, throwing knives, and fancy hotels work.

  James Hunter, who knows how flame spirits work.

  Tim McBain, who knows how serial killers work.

  My Joshua, who knows how I work.

  And Casey. Wish you were here.
