Sorry, I meant "Seeds of Sin II (The Wheel of Destiny)". "Seeds of Sin" was my first book. I am also working on an epic called "20,000 Seeds Under the Sea" about a rodent submariner. It promises to be very suspenseful.

It seems that Measle ran afoul of the insidious Mousetrap while attempting to raid the food stores (once again). I thought he knew about Mousetraps. It's very sad. Slithey the Rat is rumoured to have died also of his wounds, but no one knows for sure. Benton W. Fender, the maniac with the shotgun, is running for Congress on the Liberty Party ticket. I've seen his posters. They say "Vote Bent Fender for Liberty in America! Freedom or Death!!!".

He tried to shoot down my airplane. He thought it was a terrorist attack vehicle of some kind. I hope he is soon arrested and put in a secure mental facility. All his neighbours share my hopes. He is not popular here. The Blue Meanies have been keeping a close eye on him, I hear.

Did I mention that I have been reunited with Zoe?! A poignant moment. She cried. It is wonderful to feel truly loved, even by a radically different species that is 10,000 times one's own body weight. Freddy the White Rat is also living here now, and has his own cage. Zoe likes Freddy very much. Freddy is co-writing "20,000 Seeds Under the Sea" with me, because he knows a lot about machines and that sort of thing. He has proven to be a loyal friend and adventuring companion. I have warned him about Mizzenchip the Orange Cat and Slithy the Sewer Rat. Freddy saw Mizzenchip through the window. "That's a natural born killer," he said. Mizzenchip saw Freddy too, and he hung around for some time at the window, but he couldn't get in. Perhaps Bent Fender will decide that Mizzenchip is a terrorist and shoot him. One can always hope.

(Mizzenchip regards Bento Fender with lofty disdain, verging on vague disgust, but that's Mizzenchip's attitude towards everyone, I think.)
