      I AM ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS who love science fiction movies and books when I was a young lad, I had a wild imagination about people and the World. I still do. I will try to tell you about it, and what happened some time ago.

      I was under ten years old when my Father gave me my first science fiction book. I fell immediately in love and became a believer, never questioning their true existence.

We always sat in the back of the public library so no one could see what we were doing. We discuss aliens and UFOs over lunch almost every day, asking each other, about the latest movies and books But of course, we could not afford all of the latest materials that were available.

      We were still in Jamaica when We graduated from separate high schools. We never thought about college or the real way to get money and the reality was we could not afford to go. So We just went on to doing odd jobs, and Ann
