    About this ebook

    Twenty-seven year old George Kelso went to sleep on a cold fall night in Central Park in the city of New York with a suicide note pinned to his jacket. He never expected to wake up; he expected to die from cancer and exposure. Instead, he woke up refreshed and telepathically exchanging thoughts with intelligent genetically engineered ants called jants! At first George felt disappointed that he hadn't died peacefully in his sleep, but he soon felt better than he had felt in months! But what were his new friends the jants really up to and what did giant ticks have to do with it? This short story is the third publication of an ongoing sci-fi/fantasy series of short stories and novellas that chronicle an increasingly unstable world in which nasty natural, technological and mythical forces are unleashed in response to climate change and other human induced problems.

      About Other Publications by This Author

      Forward

      This is the third in a planned series of approximately ten short stories and/or novellas that when complete will also (hopefully) at some future date be merged to comprise one seamless epic novel. Only complete works are permitted to be published through Smashwords. Therefore each release in this series must stand alone and provide a sense of completeness, yet also address a broader series plotline such that together the parts also form a broader story. The short story Global Warming Fun 3: A Tick In Time can be read independently as a stand-alone story, but for a better sense of the over-all plot and more insight into some of the characters, before reading this story its prequels should be read. In the 'Forward' section of the first release of the series the over-all concept for the Global Warming Fun series is more extensively discussed, providing greater insight into the behind the scenes sausage-making of this series for anyone interested in such things.

      The general plan is for each story in the series to provide a glimpse of both typical and critical events amid an increasingly unstable world in which natural, technological and mythical forces are being unleashed due to climate change and other human induced problems. In the first three stories at least, the emphasis has been strongly science/science fiction Vs fantasy.

      In the first story Ed Rumsfeld and his wife Mary are introduced, along with emerging aspects of the global warming/climate change dilemma including the amazing intelligent ants called jants, their creator Jerry Green (a rogue itinerant gene-splicer) and the Government agents that pursue him.

      In the second story Ed and his wife Mary move to a Native American reservation where the ancient Stone Coats/Ice Giants of Mohawk tribal legend are found to be creatures of history instead of being mere myths, and to be animated by silicone and carbon-based 'smart rock' with science-known properties rather than through supernatural means. Though disaster is averted the creatures became allies of the jants in their long-term plan to replace mankind. Also, as New England is to become colder as a result of climate change, the Reservation faces an uncertain future.

      This third story of the series takes place two decades later in New York City and features the jants and a new human character.

      Currently ten releases have been sketched out for this series. How/if the Earth and humanity will survive the trauma of global warming is at this time not known by the author. We will need to discover how things turn out together.

      In addition to cheerfully and patiently waiting for unknown ages to see how this series unfolds and finally ends, you may wish in the meantime to read an already
