WHEN I got back to Earth, my Muse was sound asleep in the spare bedroom. I stood in the doorway, gazing fondly at her golden hair spread out on the pillow, at her mischievous elfin face. I do a lot of bitching about the status quo, like everybody else I know, but deep down inside me I like this planet I live on, this lovely Earth where I was born., This land of promises and sweet fulfillments, this paradise that has never had to harken to the thunder of a warlord's tread.

Thank you, gentle gods and goddess, wherever you may be, for making this Earth real and consigning iii's to the realm of make-believe.

I looked once more at my sleeping Muse. Then, gently, I closed the door and locked it. If she wishes to leave me, I know a locked door will not stop her; but if she sees it is locked, she will know how much I want her to stay; and knowing this, perhaps she will remain.

—ROBERT F. YOUNG
