Shortly before Kato Whip was to become Kato Whip, he was waiting in line at a bank. He waited patiently, as he had done so countless times before. There was no hurry. Suddenly a woman crowded in front of him. He let it go. What did it matter? It wasn't that much more of a wait. But the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. She had been rude not only to him but all the people behind him. In fact, by his inaction, he had implicitly condoned her every rude act going forward.
The woman had finished at the window by the time he thought this through. As she exited the bank, he sought a glimpse of her face, but saw only that she wore a diaphanous white gown.
At the bank window, instead of depositing his paycheck, he withdrew his life savings. Dropping by his place of employment, he turned in his resignation. Then (at last!) he changed his name to Kato Whip. With the clothes on his back and his life savings stuffed carelessly into them, he set off in search of the Diaphanous Woman. When he found her, and there was little doubt that he would, he'd give her a long overdue piece of his mind.
But even as he began his search, the city landscape vanished, and he found himself on a forested ridge—on a world seemingly created just for his quest.

About the Author
Gary W. Shockley grew up in the Indiana countryside before moving to California by means of Pennsylvania and Oregon (it's a long story). Along the way he learned a thing or two.
He has made a living as software QA tester, software engineer, copy editor, and technical writer. But ever since he was a child, he has written stories. He is now an award-winning writer whose stories have appeared in various magazines and anthologies. Most of what he writes defies genre boundaries and could be called slipstream.
He currently lives in Mountain View, California, with his wife, Lori Ann White, herself an award-winning writer. They have a cat named Manti.
Lori and Manti are currently working on their second novels.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
