	One of my all time favorite sience fiction works was the DEATHBIRD by 
Harlain "the little monster" Ellison.  The story left me speachless for days.
(People thought I'd caught some disease, my parrents called a shrink, the dog
hid all its toys...)  My only problem with it was the 'dedication' at the end,
(for those of you who haven't read it I won't ?spoil? it for you by printing
it here) I can't figure it out.  Nothing in that story happened without a
reason!  Having little knowlege of the person refered to, and little more
of his works, I have never been able to understand the significance of the
last line... the 'dedication'.
	Anyone out there know what I'm talking about and have an answer?
	Please mail it to me ASAP!!!!
	Much thanks in advance.
