Thanks for sharing revision at its most hilarious.<br /><br />Melissa: I'm glad you like the edge. We don't get through this world without experiencing that.<br /><br />Tess: Aw shucks, thanks.<br /><br />Nancy: Thanks, Nancy. It really is useful, I think, to shake loose some things.<br /><br />Davin: Using that phrase slightly alters the memories. They are less simple description and more integrated, I think.<br /><br />Laura: Thanks!Tricia J.

You've created lots of wonderful images--icicles long as swords, fireflies who might be fairies--and you've certainly piqued my curiosity with the gunpowder in the stillness of his basement.
