Section V: What If …?<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> <strong>Phil</strong>'s writing is concerned with slightly oddball tales <strong>of</strong> the<br />

victories, defeats <strong>an</strong>d absurdities <strong>of</strong> a life in <strong>IT</strong>. All <strong>of</strong> the stories up to this<br />

point in the book are true. Names have been ch<strong>an</strong>ged to protect the guilty, some<br />

artistic license is taken with character descriptions, but all <strong>of</strong> the events<br />

described actually happened.<br />

However, when the mood has taken him, he has attempted a few pieces that<br />

are more whimsical in nature. Pieces that still hold recognizable truths about<br />

the actions <strong>an</strong>d behaviour <strong>of</strong> certain <strong>IT</strong> types, but tr<strong>an</strong>sposed into more f<strong>an</strong>ciful<br />

circumst<strong>an</strong>ces.<br />

The inspiration for these c<strong>an</strong> be something trivial, such as a certain song on<br />

the radio, but getting them down is <strong>an</strong>ything but. Since they are 'pretty much<br />

written in blood' they are in sc<strong>an</strong>ter supply, <strong>an</strong>d are well worth your attention.<br />
