Isaac was, in many ways, a typical mouse. Running full bore, he could cover twelve feet in a single second, a whopping eight miles per hour. He could scamper across the thinnest string, leap five times his height and climb a slippery wall without a second thought. And, like all mice, Isaac was smart, very smart, because, as everyone knows, mouse genes are eighty-five percent human. The remaining fifteen percent are the reason mice are superior to an extreme... but I digress. Young Isaac was also an impressionable mouse, who, while seeking his fortune becomes radicalized by a trusted spiritual leader. With his eyes suddenly open to the ways of the wicked world the youth now lives for one thing only- to kill the ultra bizillionaire Fluffy, a cat who profits from the exploitation of the masses. Along the way Isaac is joined in his mission by several eager companions. Will Isaac complete his task or discover in time that the world is not so black and white after all...WARNING This book is contains a number of adult themes. Any persons living or dead who might be offended by interspecie co-mingling, horrified by animal experimentation, doesn't believe that god can make mistakes or refuses to understand that all creatures deserve to live the life they want when it is of no harm to others, well, that person should put this book down now... Oh, yes, within these pages are also a number of references to animal genitalia.

This accumulation of stories was written over a span of forty years. The early ones were actually included in rejected love letters which I wrote to A.O. when I ran out of things to say. Years later she called to ask my permission to donate the whole lot of them to Columbia University to be included in some sort of time capsule. Whether or not she finally did... well, I fancy that it's so.
