News You Can Bruise for 2000 May 16

My first short story since 1996's critically inflamed Grunion Time is complete and ready for reading. Behold the best-seller of the future, Jake Berendes West Covina! There's an accompanying song (the song inspired the story, not the other way around) which I hope to record soon.

The story looks a lot better in lynx, except for the fact that you can't see the graphic. I wonder what can be done about that (making it look better in non-lynx browsers).
