Again, a sincere thank you to Harddaysknight for his critical read of my story before publishing. Real life and a lot of hours working sometimes takes my concentration away from my writing, and he spots those lapses for me. * I was more interested in writing and history than I was interested in math and science for most of my school years, with the excepti...
