To celebrate the successful setup of Ringo (a Dell operating with Windows 7 (I like it far better than Windows Vista) and a seventeen-inch screen that makes it terribly big but easier on my eyes) and the end of hours of data transfer and file-shuffling and customizing to get things the way I like them, here's a short story that I wrote in November. The two characters in it are major players in the NaNoWriMo monster; this is kind of a character study, even though their situation here is very, very different from that in the big story.

I'll be the first to admit that it's not absolutely fabulous, but I do need to keep writing and part of the writing process is showing things, I think, no matter how awful or brilliant they are. General feedback is nice. Since this isn't anything more than a drabble, though, I'm not out for hardcore critiques. You know, unless it should be more than a drabble. Fff.
