_{This is a non-erotic story.}

Update: This is part one of a two-part story. The other part can be found here: fav.me/d6buxdu

This was one of those stories I worked on for a few hours in the middle of the night. No, more like the *end* of the night, since the actual work was done around 4 or 5 in the morning. It was one of those things that you do when you're sleep deprived, and you're really really proud of it - and then when you wake up the next morning, you feel like it's trashy and pretentious.

Well, I was able to get over my trepidation, I released this story. The formatting stuff was part of it.

In retrospect, I decided to re-format the two stories. I got some good criticism; some people liked the action but felt that the porn detracted and vice versa.

The result is that some of the comments might not makes sense, but it's a little more clear in its intent.

Anyway, I'm going on far too long about a tiny little piece - don't you have some reading or art-ogling to do?
