Every introduction to this story that I’ve thought of thus far has been horribly cliche. Nonetheless, I need to dress up this intro somehow, at least enough to pique your interest so that maybe you’ll take the time to click the link, download, and then read the story. I have been told by one of my proof-readers, who has been gracious enough to read my work, long before it was remotely suitable for public consumption, that this is her favorite thing I’ve yet written. Given the fact that we frequently trust the praise of strangers, called critics, I hope you will give this one a read.
