*sigh* I've always hated short stories because they end once they have 'hooked' me into caring about the characters and storyline.
Give me a 500 page novel anytime! (uh... as long as it's a well-written good story that is)
You all write so well. I'll try to be patient (looks in Sir_Tainly's direction)about finding out 'what happens next'.
