Charles Nuetzel

Charles Nuetzel was born in San Francisco in 1934, and writes: “As long as I can remember I wanted to be a writer. It was a dream I never thought would materialize. But with the help of Forrest J Ackerman, who became my agent, I managed to finally make it into print. “I was lucky enough not only in selling my work to publishers but also ending up packaging books for some of them, and finally becoming a ‘publisher’ much like those who had bought my first novels. From there it as a simple leap to editing not only a science-fiction anthology, but also a line of SF books for Powell Sci-Fi back in the 1960s. Throughout these active professional years I had the chance to design some covers and do graphic cover layouts for pocket books & magazines.” Much of his work in covers and graphics are a result of having had a father who was a professional commercial artist, and who did a number of covers for sci-fi magazines in the 1950s and later for pocket books—even for some of Mr. Nuetzel’s books. In retirement he has become involved in swing dancing, a long time lover of Big Band jazz. But more interestingly world travels have taken him (and his wife Brigitte) across the world, to Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Kenya, Egypt, Peru, having a lifelong interest in ancient civilizations. His website is full of thousands of pictures taken during these trips. Check out his website: http://Haldolen.com

THE HOMO SAP

Somebody pushed the panic button!

And that is where the story began.

It didn’t matter what caused the final conflict, it just happened!

The world exploded, rumbled, shook; great destructive ripples bloomed into existence over every civilized center of Man. Monstrous tidal waves reached out like hungry, gigantic arms, flooding the continental coastlines, as if attempting to devour the land. Then came the waves of viral sickness to wipe out those who had survived the first wave of death.

The human race gave one last fluttering moan, and died. Humankind had had its glowing moment and now it was over; darkness had fallen on its grand design. Mankind had fumbled the ball beginning with the mistake of Eve and Adam listening to the seductive voice of the snake and then continuing to feed upon the forbidden Tree of Knowledge throughout the ages.

The problems of this species didn’t exist any more. Didn’t count. All the egocentric biased wisdoms and super-charged belief systems had crumbled against one another in
