    Haw! Slim's line killed me and ate me for breakfast. I'd like to say that today marks my first completed year here at FS. I am One with this Universe? Much gratitude to the FS creator and to all the creative genius participants. I love you all dearly. This is a fun place to limber up one's improvisational skills for other writing projects. I am currently trying to write short stories and really appreciate how this helps with spontaneity.
