I didn't realise who I killed. I thought it was just 'he'. I had to change half of what I did cos I only read the last paragraph of Kahrey's one. It was originally ganna be a b-grade zombie story.

Better watch out, ECM - my guess is those plans include the words "auger" and "goulash." :twisted:

Not only that, but somehow you transported him through space from just outside his high school's restroom to some fancy house that was not his own. (Elvis lives in a trailer.)

Heh heh.

You silly boy.

Very good, Kahrey :clap: :clap: :clap:

Sometimes he wished he could just live it all out . . . the bathroom door and slid down, holding his book to his chest . . .
then we may be reunited.


Good writing EMC :clap: (kind of rough take-off :shock: :P )

. . . who had disturbed his self-misery . . . after the 5th foray into the ruined house returned paled and quiet . . . recruit extra staff to handle the influx of raving patients.
