This is a story that decided it had to be written while I was writing something else. It was so insistent, I had to stop the story I was writing and write this one.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

This story is also an attempt to address something that several people refer to as a fault in my writing. Contrary to what a lot of people might think, I do take constructive criticism of my work quite seriously and in the vein it's given.
