It’s funny. I’ve got this whole book gathered together, including a selection of fun lyrics for some of the chapters, but then I realized I should say something here at the beginning to explain what it is that I’m trying to do. But everytime I’ve tried to write something it has come across as lame or stupid or, worse yet, boring.

So let me just say this. All of Aiden’s stuff is pretty much word for word from his journal. All of my stuff is mostly from my own journal, but I’ve filled in some gaps and omitted lots of stuff that was really dumb. Linda also helped me polish some of my wording, because it needed it.

The government parts are not used with their permission and they probably didn’t know we had it. But I think they help frame the real story.

All of the redacting was done by JXXXXX (who probably just redacted his name). He apparently doesn’t think we are ready yet for the whole truth, whatever that may look like.
