The Classified Ad

By Mike Bozart

The young author (future Agent 33) makes his first journey - on a very limited budget - to San Francisco (CA, USA) at the end of 1986. When he finds an underground periodical in a city bus shelter, a very strange personal ad catches his eye and arrests his mind. He responds and it only gets stranger.

Approx. 3,300 words.

If this largely autobiographical tale were a movie, it would most likely be rated G or PG-13.
