I take some very minor pride in the fact that all of my stories carry reader scores of 8 or higher. (Unfortunately, that's a false front because I delete stories that have been deemed to be of lesser value.)
To that point... if any one of my three remaining readers is interested in preserving access to "Portraits", now would be the time to act. This particular story has dropped off the charts, so I'll be shipping it to the circular file heretofore or forthwith or whatever.
