Barrett Fan,
Now you and thorin13 have gone through your, probably drug-induced, histrionics - luckily avoiding intervention by the Thread Police - I'd just like to say what an enjoyable read your little story was.
Nearly, with a few more details and some filler info, worthy of its own "Essays and Short Stories" thread. Nearly.
Nice one,
Byron
p.s. Just FYI, you have to give all the PFfanNet members around the globe a chance to see your thread, at the very least, a day and a half, before assuming no-one is interested. But then, even if no-one does reply, it doesn't mean they haven't read it, just that they may not have anything sensible or worthy to say in response.
Chill pills all round, I guess.
