        😀 Thanks E!! I’ll share with you…my post always shows up just after yours on the WordPress reader feed, lol. Our virtual selves are walking right past each other as we put our stories on Ms. Rachael’s desk. OK…now I just need sleep, and it’s only after 10.

          haha! It’s just after ten here now and it’s two hours later. 🙂 You are probably fast asleep. Thanks for leaving the stories on the desk! It’s nice to be able to just pick them up with such ease. You guys are team players! Love it!

    I’ve got one, too. A dark fantasy–The Dance of the Lights. http://cathleentownsend.com/2015/10/13/the-dance-of-the-lights/

    It went a little over, but the story needed it. Hope that’s okay. 🙂
