Splendid - do you want me to comment on the spelling mistakes now - or leave it for later? :wink:

And now it's my turn - more - more!

Part II has now been added to the download above. I suggest you re-read part I at the same time as I had to add a single line for continuity. It's a small but important detail for the plot!

Hope you enjoy! Usual deal with typo's etc - PMs are good. Feedback in the thread...

Cheers,

Drew.

Excellent yarn, Drew... :D though perhaps a touch too predictable so far... :wink:

This has the makings of a not-so-short story...

Sorry - no progress on this at the moment. I've been repainting the outside of my house!

Real life, eh... what a pain.

Sorry 'bout the delay - been a little bit busy with RL.
