Looking forward to your entry.<BR/><BR/>Laughingwolf, I'm writing the fourth as fast as I can but probably won't beat you through the third.

They've got a pretty good stable of artists.<BR/><BR/>X-dell, I've always been a fan of twist stories, but I've not always been able to right 'em. I thought this one came out decent. Thanks for the kind words.<BR/><BR/>Michelle, thanks. Glad you liked it.
