Act One of episode 470 is an account of boyhood obsessions with Piers Anthony. The act is written and narrated by writer Logan Hill who, as a 12-year old, was consumed with reading Anthony’s novels. For a decade he felt he must have been Anthony's number one fan, until, as a young adult, he met a person identified as "Andy" and discovered their mutual interest in Anthony. Andy is interviewed for the story and explains that, as a teenager, he had used escapist novels in order to cope with his alienating school and home life in Buffalo, New York. In 1987, at age 15, he decided to run away to Florida in order to try to live with Piers Anthony. The story includes Piers Anthony’s reflections on these events.
