AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is a short ficlet written for the "Dr. Strangelove" fandom, featuring our favorite ex-Nazi scientist & President Merkin Muffley. It is one of two ficlets that I plan on posting for the winter season of 2009, but I'll leave the other one for a surprise for you...a Christmas surprise! ;) Anyway, I do hope you enjoy this story.

And, now, for a brief copyright-&-disclaimer...

Dr. Strangelove, President Merkin Muffley, & all elements & properties belonging to “Dr. Strangelove” © Stanley Kubrick & Columbia Pictures. I only claim ownership to the story itself, & all original characters contained therein, including (but not limited to) Rachel & Edgar Muffley, as well as Dr. Strangelove's parents.

When you’re finished reading the story, feel free to leave a review. I’ll take anything from simple comments to constructive criticism, as long as they’re not flames or written in a mean, rude, or overly-harsh manner.

And now that my copyright-&-disclaimer is finished, let the fanfiction begin! Happy reading! :D
