Sorry pstekky, looks like your time is up! Hmmm... I think this 2 week response time has become a bit too luxurious, so I'm going to do something quite drastic and slice it in half. From now on, the new response time is only ONE WEEK. Sorry all, but this story needs a stick of dynamite underneath it to quicken the pace. By the way, if it's ever your turn and you're strapped for time, there's no obligation to submit a chapter length segment of the story - there never was. One single sentence can give the story that much needed twist. Anything to move the story forward. So now there's no excuse! :) On that note, it looks to be my turn again. Will submit tomorrow. I promise. :)
