I just e-mailed my story of 36k+. Thought the mods might appreciate it landing on their laps before D-Day. It's a rough draft, but I just have to do minor tweaking and hopefully that'll be enough.
I had a tremendously difficult time NOT writing an extra chapter. However, it was the right decision b/c I wanted to pack in the most emotional punch possible, and going off on a tangent about science and technology (as fascinating as they may be) would've diluted the epilogue.
So ... anyone got vodka 'cause this bigbanger needs a tall glass!
