Hey, I made the listings, so I can't complain. To answer the thread about trimming stories to fit a word count below, I thought I'd share what my story looked like with all the extra fat and trimmings. Just pull up the file. Maybe it will make more sense now..;)

I think this was a wonderful story concept and well done. I also think the longer version tells a better story, but you did a great job of cutting it down to size. There is some weird stuff going on with your word wrap, and you tend to do ellipses without a following space or punctuation mark, but those are trifles. The dreams were well done. The whole concept was great. jon

Thank you for posting the rest of your story. I liked the shorter version but the longer one is even better :-) A well deserved honorable mention. Shanna :-)

thanks folks. The formatting was a result of the rules for posting the original story, no italics, hard returns, etc. I kinda went overboard with quickie formatting. Thanks from all who read it. Just wanted to agree with the 'shortening' on the previous thread.
