Blue Pluto. By Sean. F. Stevens. Copyright Sean F Stevens 1991 2001. BLUE PLUTO Strains of Robert Palmers HEAVY NOVA album quietly echoed through the corridors of BluePluto. Though the music was approximately fifty seven hundred million kilometres from itsplanet of origin and over two hundred years old to boot Bill Nipper Grahams still found itsoothing.

With this in mind Nipper had removed the now somewhat dog-eared lottery ticket from a toolpouch in his suit and had tried to find his number amongst the green neon columns on hisTelefax screen.

The very next thing that Nipper did was to notify the lottery office on Moon Station Epsilon ofhis winning ticket number the receptionist there congratulated him and said that the Earth Prime lottery office would be in touch with him laterthat day. Nipper lay back and quietly revelled in the thought of his new direction in life calmly helooked around him and hoped that he would never even hear the word Blue Pluto again Nippergiggled slightly in anticipation.
