Tickets"). (Permission for posting on storiesonline.net

The following is a work of fiction and is just a fantasy.
Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely
coincidental and entirely unintentional. There may be
references to people in a historical context, but they
are not really characters in this story.
This is a story that describes some sexually explicit
situations in a fictional universe that only vaguely
seems to be similar to the real universe. Most of the
characters in this story are under aged, however the
target audience is adults (people over the age of
eighteen) with broad minds.
Afterword
I guess that this is the point in the story where I am
supposed to assure you that we all lived happily ever after.
Alas, life isn't that simple.
At times, I thought myself very lucky indeed to have
found those tickets. Although I had occasionally found
myself cursing them for what they did, I have to admit that
it really wasn't the fault of the tickets themselves, but
rather my own short-sightedness and immaturity.
But even after finding the tickets, I learned that some
of the happiest moments of my life had nothing to do with the
tickets at all: serenading Kristen on the first day of school
and our overnight trip to Chicago together for my sixteenth
birthday are two of them that spring immediately to mind.
There is an old adage that says that power corrupts, and
that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Those tickets
represent power, and I've witnessed how despicable that I
could become when I allowed myself to use the tickets for the
wrong reasons. I've repeatedly made vows to myself never to
use those tickets like that anymore, but alas, I am only
human, and as much as I'd like to say that I learned my
lessons, the temptation of the tickets combined with the
frustrations of life sometimes prove too powerful a
temptation to resist.
Despite those moments, I have to point out that there are
many positive things that came from the tickets: I found
friendship, I found love, I've made people happy, and they
have made me happy. For the first time, I found myself
thinking a little of others rather than just keeping myself
in the center of my own universe, and the tickets have made
me stop and think of unexpected ramifications of my actions
before I do something--these things indicated that I was
actually growing up. And I feel it was those "lucky tickets"
that were either directly or indirectly responsible for all
of these.
Would I have been able to stand up to my mother if I
hadn't been emboldened by the tickets? I would like to think
that I would, but the truthful answer was that I probably
wouldn't--at least, not at the age when I did it.
Sometimes, I wonder what other people would have done if
they had found the tickets. Would somebody else have used
them in a more mature way than I did at first? Would they
end up making the same mistakes? There's no way for me to
know for sure.
At other times, I wonder how my life would have turned
out if I hadn't found those tickets. Once again, although I
have no way of knowing for sure, it's still a matter of fact
that of all the people that I held dearest to me on my
sixteenth birthday, only my family would have been part of
that group if I had never stumbled across those tickets.
With all things considered, I guess would have to say that I
am grateful for having found them.
So, what lies in store for a sixteen year old boy who
seems to have the world in the palm of his hands? That, my
friend, is another story... and one that I'll only be too
happy to tell--next time!

A FINAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
To everybody that has sent suggestions, compliments,
pointed out errors, and otherwise sent me feedback, I would
like to once again thank you. I do indeed read every message
sent to me, and I try to respond individually to each
personal message sent. This story has, by far, attracted
more attention than any other story I have written; I'm
simply amazed and thrilled that so many people seem to like
the story. In particular, I want to express my sincere
thanks to two people--Jeff Warner and Terry--who have sent in
corrections and other information related to the chapters
that I had posted, resulting in changes that make the story
more factually and grammatically correct.
As I hint in the Afterword above, I do intend to continue
this story with at least one sequel: I've already written an
additional five chapters which will somehow be adapted to
become the beginning of the next entry of this saga, which I
will start writing in the beginning of 2004.
Once again, thank you for making it this far into the
story. I'm sorry if the story seems to end abruptly, but I
would prefer have this story "completed" rather than keep it
"in progress" for an extended period of time. After all,
isn't that what sequels are for?
