Herb would never have purchased a dog for himself, he is just not that kind of man.  It takes his sister, Mary and her daughter, Lintly to come up with the idea that \"Uncle Herb\" really would like a dog.  And Lintly decided that the 6 year old \"pup\" is the perfect dog for her uncle.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother entity decides that Oz is perfect...perfect to inhabit.  He is from a far-away planet, possibly bent on the destruction of Earth.  That spark inserts itself into Oz and begins to communicate.  Ozzy, who is intelligent and savvy, \"talks\" back and this funny, charming, often sad little tale looks at the moment in time when three very different entities who have had more negative than positive influences in their lives come together to discuss life and other oddities.  This novelette combines the joys of youth, the common sense of animals and the isolation of humanity to provide a small window into life, anywhere, anytime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGREEN LIGHT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany years in the future, a rather lazy, affluent young man is forced by his father to visit a planet under the family's auspices, as a punishment for acts undone.  Daddy is the Superintendent of Maintenance and runs The Board that contains a light for each planet, which glows green, yellow or red for maintenance or other needs.  \u003cbr\u003eOne planet always displays a green light - and that is an anomaly for the Corporation and the Universe.  The son is soon to discover why the light is always green, who inhabits this strange planet and why.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople do make plans, far in advance for the continuation of mankind, regardless of the greed and corruption of individual men and women.  Welcome to GREEN LIGHT - you can arrive but you cannot leave, and after you become familiar with the whimsical and independent inhabitants, including the creatures, robots and other life forms, you will find that this is an amusing, but serious book, one with endearing characters, unique circumstances and a surprise ending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE INCIDENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's way in the future, after the Weather Wars on Earth.

But that's not what happened.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShortly after landing, creatures began taking parts off the ship, but fortunately, never pierced the living areas.
