When AT1 was first published, I was very proud of this story. Looking back on it eleven years hence I don't like it nearly so much. It's pompous, ham-fisted, and adolescent. That and the guy in the story seems kind of stalkerish... That's not how I had planned it, but that's certainly how it could look.

Along with "Too Late", this story is one of two in this issue which share a title with a song from The Heart Throbs album Jubilee Twist. This was not intentional, believe it or not.

Ataraxia Theatre is an anthology of different stories by Joseph Hewitt. It updates every Monday and Thursday.
