So it seems that 1) EVERYBODY who's comment or emailed me had noted that the story is a departure from my usual genre and 2) several of you hate it.
Sorry if you don't like it. I kinda do. You see, it's rooted in an incident in real life, brought forward forty-odd years. I HAD to write it. Really. Oh, and the real incident didn't get past the part where Jamie outlined Dil's protrusion with the sheet.
The rest is the fantasy I kept to myself for all this time. The 'Jamie' side lasted another eighteen years. I should've gone for Jenn.
And for you who just can't stomach the story, well, don't read it. 'Community' is going on, as is the saga of Bill & Haley. And there's another percolating in my mind, a triumph arising out of tragedy.
