Well, now that you've brought it up, if/when you find it, come back and tell us. Me at least, 'cause I'll be picking at it all day.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
serial?
I was about to say "serial". That's the only other "s" synonym for chronologically I can find. The other being sequential.
There's seriation, but that's mostly in archaeology.
Successive?
Seriatim. Ginger's suggestion finally knocked it loose. Thanks guys!
Whee! My characters are cooperating again!
"two people in a dark room"
In the dark there’s nothing but the green lights of the machinery, the vague rustle of the doctor’s coat, until a light comes on over the chart on the wall.
“Can you read the bottom line?”
He can, a string of meaningless letters, just like always. He rattles them off, uninterested.
“Your vision’s still perfect,” the doctor says, stool’s wheels whining across the floor. “Good news for a man your age.”
It’s not a surprise. He fingers the unexpected pink slip in his coat pocket as he leaves, bill in his other hand. Even so, he didn’t see that coming.
Straight out of the days news for many folks, Amy. Good one.
From way back, I'm a big fan of Beatrice.
