Okay, I want to say that I left this story off the way I did on purpose. It was meant to have an open ending, namely so that you, the readers, could decide for yourselves how this little event changed things.
That said, I am tired of reviews and PMs (mostly PMs) asking me to continue it. The complete I put up, means complete, and not once since I posted it have I been remotely inspired to continue it.
SO, this is what I am going to do, and I am posting this in My Challenges Forum, but I am challenging anyone that wants to, to create a sequel/continuance of this story.
My only requirement is that you stay true to what I have written thus far.
