Okay, here's another story that hammered on the inside of my brain case until I let it out. It's complete, and I'll post the chapters at three-ish-day intervals per my usual practice.
Also, since my post on this subject apparently didn't get posted: "The Mars Company Anthology" is available in hardcover format from Lulu.com. A note of caution - I haven't gotten my proof copy yet, so there might be some formatting errors in the printed version.
