So, it seems I'm susceptible to peer pressure. After getting a couple of "are you still alive comments, messages, etc., I actually sat down and pounded out the final short story for this collection. I've sent a message to my old pre-readers who I haven't talked to in months, so maybe they're still here and interested in looking it over. If not, I'll probably post it in a day or two and ask for volunteers to post-edit.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
