There was once a giant t-rex that liked to eat everyone and everything! His name was ILjaijfskldn... or just "Oh crap there he is!" for short. He was absolutely terrifying and stuf

the ring back into his pocket. He'd gotten as far as the "would you" before the chaos of it all overwhelmed him. And what if it failed? He couldn't go through it again, nor put his

how in the world could you have known about the beginning? sometimes it's just crazy when the story just happens to come full circle.

This was fortuity fruity. I was looking for something that wouldn't be in the "Worst Case Scenario Handbook" and would end suddenly. By the way: great idea with the Handbook Camilla.

I've been reading through some older stories and found another where Slim completed the "circle of life." http://foldingstory.com/wxryl/

Good research - I'd forgotten about that one. Good story too. It's one of the pleasures of FS when the story comes full circle. I think the subconcious group memory may be playing a role. Anyone want to do a Ph.D. on FA?
