Well, it's almost fitting that this is coming out nearly a year after the first. Maybe it's just easier to write this story when it's winter--the festive season and all that? This was an overdue winner for a contest a while back, I've only done a couple of "sequel" stories but I think they're enjoyable in their own right. There's still plenty left for the imagination even with this bit added.

All that aside, hopefully you enjoyed this story. Happy Holidays and a new year to everyone who's reading these stories. Surely this is the year where I write with a more consistent schedule... surely...
