Your are most welcome. I'm working on a new story for it now. Best of luck on yours. I'll cross my fingers for you if you cross your fingers for me. :)

LOL
fingers are crossed, though my money is on you, in this genre my writing is mostly metaphysical....wish I could say it is Serling-esque [he and Kafka are my favs]
at this time I am doing 2 psychology courses, a math [required] :( and a writing course....just tidying up required courses before I start my Master's....can't wait. I'm thinking to take assignments and blend them with challenges/contests, kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
good luck or what ever the writer's equivalent of 'break a leg' is.
