>Really glad you liked it, Squunch. Of the people who have been active on this thread lately, you were definitely the target audience for this one.

Wow! Thanks for that! I might add, I really liked the way you kept the sci-fi future aspect of it completely believable and reasonable.

In fact the only thing I had to suspend my disbelief over was the lack of a fence to prevent small children falling into the pit. But of course, if the park had proper safety measures, there'd be no story.
