Responses, because those are fun too [hider=Platinum]Thank you, thank you. I came into the story with the expectation that this wild horse [i]would[/i] be broken, and live a life of mediocrity as some farm animal. But I came to the same conclusion you did -- it really [i]had[/i] to end the way it did. I'm still not sure if this way is more depressing, or less.[/hider] [hider=Roman]Honestly if I was tossing around accolades, I think -- like everyone else really -- Holmi was just a few more lines away. Still, glad you liked it. On the dialect -- I'm kicking myself for leaving a "cain't" in there. I took a bunch of those out. [/hider] [hider=Terminal]I've been neglecting my human sacrifices for a while. There just aren't that many bloodlines around where I live and I don't like to stick with the same one for too long, or... well, I mean, you get it. Anyway a tourist bus came through last week and the timing was perfect, so I'm back in the red with the plaguelord.[/hider]
