This story was outlined during the summer of 1975 and written during the summer and fall of 1976, just after I had graduated from UCLA. The only reason I am posting it to this page is the eerie similarities it has to PTL. In retyping it to put on disk, I have altered nothing... not even spelling errors. I have noticed places where I had changed a character's name from Barry to Joe and the principle character's address from Westwood to Santa Monica.... Those too remain.When I first saw PTL in the winter of 1997, in the character of Derek Rayne, I saw my Lucian Randolph had aged with me. He lacked only the Legacy, his team, and a Dutch accent. It's what attracted me to PTL & made me a fan. However, I did not remember the details of my own story. When I pulled the stained, faded manuscript, typed on onionskin paper from an old suitcase in the garage and began to read chapter one, for the first time in more than 20 years, my jaw hit the floor. As I type, I have not read ahead. It is almost totally new to me and I am continuing to be bowled over by the coincidences. I am not saying this was precognition or telepathy, but it makes one wonder, and in a way gives me the creeps. Very suitible to PTL... a definite PTL moment.
I'm sorry that it is incomplete. I add chapters when I have the time, which isn't often. I first began posting this in July 1999. My latest additions were in Sept. 2003.
