- "Side One: Special Edition!" (1990)
- In 1990, I was on the verge of graduating and with no prospects for a job. I'd also had a major falling out with the campus radicals. So I wasn't in a good mood when I wrote this. But it turned out to be one of my better stories. This was later published in a web magazine. One reader called it the best science fiction story ever written. I don't know about that.
- "The Pentacrest Marxist" (1990)
- I did this for a class as a parody of Marxists who have a religious fervor for their political beliefs. Let me say that today I am not a Marxist, and when I wrote this, it wasn't meant to be flattering towards other Marxists. Some people have taken this seriously, and they really should know better.
