What is Five Points Akropolis?An alternate future? An insecure past? Another present made of dense woodlands and waterways ... or of streets and buildings and crowds? Are its populations living beside one another in a welter of frequencies or wavelengths not generally experienced in Place and Time?A particular place called Five Points Akropolis -- This is what Anno Domine 1769, 1900 A.D., and 2017 CE have in common. But what influence does the dwarf-wanderer Pluto have on its fortunes?One of many characters, Willie the grave-digger would like to know, and too Gregoff the Grak.

Three gangs of kids living on the same spot in different times, meeting for the first time as Pluto descends."Man's best directed effort accomplishes a kind of dream, while God is the sole worker of realities." --Nathaniel Hawthorne"The Machine Stops" --E.M.
