It is based on an idea contributed by Ciguardian, and my thanks go out to him for his suggestions, as well as for his editing of the resulting story. ***** Jeannie Conrad was both an excellent nurse and the embodiment of stunni...

Well, folks, this is my most ambitious chapter to date. I know this has been a long time coming, (sorry) but editing, proofing, rewriting, and the sheer size has slowed things down a bit. Needless to say, the muse has been giving me a workout, and I hope it was worth the wait. As always, I refuse to be politically correct, so if any of my conservative libert...
Author's note: To the people who left comments asking me to write more: sorry for making you wait nearly eleven years.

Officially, I was part of what we euphemistically called Operation Sandbox. Oh it had an official name or three, but it was just the U.S. Army's way of making th...
