Okay. I'm not at home right now, and consequently I have no FTP access; it'll happen as soon as I get home tonight, all right?
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
See if you can guess its cunningly-concealed trick.
STING, STRING - you're playing the Elizabethan first letter code thingie game.

I got it, I got it too! Only because Hec got it first you'll just have to trust me.
Hey Erica, this might seem incredibly petty and nitpicky, but your story has a number of missing spaces.
Like in this bit:
Your movements in the kitchen are both slow and deliberate.Katie takes this as a struggle;most able-bodied people do, in your experience.
there's no space between "deliberate." and "Katie", or between "struggle;" and "most". Maybe it's to do with your computer problems, but I just thought I'd mention it because I couldn't help being a little distracted by it.

It's now up at [link] (give me a moment to finish downloading the new Telnet client so I can reset the stupid permissions thingie so yis all can view it.) erika, I really hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of putting those spaces where they should have been, hit me if I shouldn't have? It seemed like a nice idea the time. I'll change it back if you care, I still have the original.

Very clever, Lizard- I like it.
Erica- I've put your story on my 'to read' list, and I'll get to it in a day or two, at which point I'll try and give you some feedback, hopefully helpful.

I liked the way you worked that hidden structure into the imagery of the poems too. It wasn't just an exercise - it was a little key to open up the box of the poem.

I'm so dense about stuff like that.
