COPYRIGHT: This story and all characters, unless otherwise stated in the Disclaimers, are copyright © tehuti_88 and may not be used or distributed without permission. The reader is free to print out or download a copy of this story for offline reading as long as the author's copyright information remains upon it. Please do not distribute; if you wish to share this story, send a link to this page.

DISCLAIMERS: The name "Scorpio" was taken from an article in the Weekly World News. Although this story makes use of actual locations and names (including Four P, Minot, and the Falcon's Nest), artistic license has been taken as this is a FICTIONAL story. Please take note that this story was written around 1995-1999 and that my writing style and understanding of the mythology I created have changed vastly in the meantime.

ADDITIONAL INFO: NA

REVIEW REQUEST: The author greatly appreciates any reviews and comments, as these let me know that people are actually reading. Please do not assume that I must get lots of comments and don't need any more, or that you as a reader have nothing worth saying, as this is not so. Be aware that I am NOT seeking publication for this story, and am not seeking literary criticism to improve my writing style, but am interested primarily in entertaining readers, so comments on plot, characterization, what the reader finds interesting or confusing, etc., are most appreciated. If you have any questions about anything in the writing feel free to ask. (NOTE: This story will eventually undergo rewrites, so I'm more open to suggestions on it.)
