Oh, and Grimm, loved the Lykopis bit in your story. Will have to reread everything tonight.
I also want to mention I'm working on a short story for some prize money by Writer's Digest. I'm in no rush since they do this contest every year...but I finally had an idea I got in the shower that I think would work well in a short story format. I don't want to give too much away, but I was really inspired by Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter and the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Let me know if you want to critique the first draft (maybe in another three weeks).
