I like way you just suggest story and leave details to imagining. I am imagining a very uncompromising story!

Whoa, I don’t know, Dan, I don’t know. Something in me says, this is actually quite good satire of all that we do here on Elephant Words, and all that any writer does. Another part of me says, what the heck was that? I haven’t decided which part of me is right, yet. :-)
