I wrote this story in 2009 and posted it on another site. It was based on a dream and it was written in a single day before the dream could fade. Yes, really. I have since tweaked a few places with which I was unhappy. My new story has gained such wonderfully encouraging interest, I thought I would share this one here as well.
