Every year hundreds of thousands of undocumented

Every year hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants make the perilous trek across the U.S.-Mexican border, risking arrest, detention and the threat of abuse as they seek
the ability to live and work in a better place than where they were born. The US, while troubled in many ways and decried by many, still represents the closest thing to a fair
weather friend. Show up when things are good, bounce when the money is all gone. That's alright, I'm turning myself into the local authorities this November. But before I do,
I wanted to finish the novel I'd started over 15 years ago. It started as an homage to the beat generation writers, but morphed to a sci-fi/romcom set it 3067. LSD saw me through
the thick of it, those 483 pages between chapters 1 and 57. I never write a second draft. That's how you lose the magic. I'm quite confident that this is the Great American Novel.
Actually, look at what happened to me. I can't believe it myself. Suddenly, I am the Greatest American Hero, who
hasn't appeared on a TV talent show. I could hardly contain my pride. I took a deep breath & exclaimed
"I can't hold it in any longer. It might be wrong. But I LOVE YOU"
That's right! I said it! I love you, I love you, I love you, baby I love you! I said it and I'll say it again and then I'll say it some more and I'll say it from the top of the
26-story building with a megaphone and I said 'I love you!' Tragically, when he want to say it, he slipped from 26-story building falls with head first and a megaphone in his hand!
