Never underestimate that burst of adrenaline.
Not to mention that there will be a lot of people up and around and in chat during this time, and frantic cries for help really won't be an imposition.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
After a long absence, guess who's back?

I believe this bit comes in between the "It's a Wonderful Life"-type dream, and the part where she sees the ghost of a woman who was Michael's wife in another lifetime, so...things do start to seem surrealy factual by that point.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The draft of my Yuletide story is done. Now all I need to do is remove all the suck.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that.
With my first drafts, I usually end up keeping about 75% of what's there, but what's there almost always winds up getting rearranged.
