Sherman Oaks, Harlan Ellison, 1981, first edition.. 20 sheets, about 4,750 words for this short story that was published in Ellison's Angry Candy, photo-copies, printed on rectos only, the whole stapled with a photo-copied NOTE from the author detailing this typescript's history, Ellison dates the story's origin to 1976, he notes that part of the story was read on a Pacifica radio station in Los Angeles in 1980, the yet-to-be-completed original manuscript was auctioned to raise money for the radio station, Ellison's NOTE indicates that the story was completed in 1981, he says this "is the original manuscript of that completed story," although he goes on to say that he made changes based on the suggestions of fellow writer and friend William Kotzwinkle, he writes, "Though the author seldom revises, Mr. Kotzwinkle's notes contained much of merit, and the author has decided to do additional work on this story. A final rewritten version will be the one submitted for publication. But this is the version as it came fresh from the typewriter," the typescript is in a state as if it were being submitted for publication. Fine.
