eBook Description: The author has a little fun with this collection of five short stories, and warns the readers to approach with care! The Homo Sap, featured here, reveals what might happen once we've wiped our human race out of existence. This is snap shot of what just might follow mankind. And then there are the somewhat brighter: Plus Four: "Guided Tour," "The Good Doctor," "Hunger Pangs," "Word to the Wise." About which Forrest J Ackerman wrote: "Ferginand Feghoot, out of O.Henry, strikes again in (these) short snorts that demonstrate that the pun is mighter than the sword." These are all short quick flashes into a far future when the glory of interstellar exploration has spread mankind across the galaxy in its search for new worlds to conquer. But with a twisted tongue-in-cheek playfullness that will either delight and/or stun the reader!

THE HOMO SAP By Charles NuetzelSomebody pushed the panic button! And that is where the story began. It didn't matter what caused the final conflict, it just happened! The world exploded, rumbled, shook; great destructive ripples bloomed into existence over every civilized center of Man. Monstrous tidal waves reached out like hungry, gigantic arms, flooding the continental coastlines, as if attempting to devour the land. Then came the waves of viral sickness to wipe out those who had survived the first wave of death. The human race gave one last fluttering moan, and died. Humankind had had its glowing moment and now it was over; darkness had fallen on its grand design. Mankind had fumbled the ball beginning with the mistake of Eve and Adam listening to the seductive voice of the snake and then continuing to feed upon the forbidden Tree of Knowledge throughout the ages. The problems of this species didn't exist any more. Didn't count. All the egocentric biased wisdoms and super-charged belief systems had crumbled against one another in that final conflict. By the middle of the 21st century the homo sap had fooled around with the wrong "apple" and been computerized right out of existence. The human hard drive had been washed clean off the face of the planet! Still all was not lost. As the good Gods will allow, intelligence isn't, and never was, really limited to just one creature. And lucky it was, too. Since homo sapien came from a common stock with the monkeys, there was every reason to expect another homo-intellect would spring forth from that same tree of evolution.
