...Future. In straight-faced leaks over the next week, the agents let it be known that, alas, the typefaces did not match, although they had high hopes for a third typewriter, discovered later. What they did not mention was that nestled next to that third machine in Kaczynski's loft was something that made lesser discoveries moot: a manuscript of the manifesto itself...

Smart enough to have developed an immensely profitable software program, this New York City police officer lives not in some aluminum-sided row house in Queens but rather in a vast SoHo loft replete with abstract paintings and expensive sheets.

Bald and stocky, this figure (John Sharian) represents at various points a demon, Ward's grandfather, and a cyborg. He even barks to out of site vampires. The characters vie for attention in the small, steep theater which only seats 27 people...
