Hooray for getting carried away! The additional 13,000 or so words in this sampler story were not at all wasted. I loved the story - it was engaging, and well-written, and had all that wonderful hurt/comfort and such great play with the language of tenses. So much witty H/S dialogue, and the scene with Molly at the end! Priceless! Thanks for this doozy of a sampler!
