Yup, I think that one's the most problematic, too. I'd go back and edit it, but I think that at this point in the discussion, it might not be a good idea. I should wait.
You know what's funny? I think what's interesting is that in that story, I'm not really borrowing any more than I necessarily would have from something else; it's the way it's presented. What the story really is, and the way I should have presented it, is First Monday/Black Death fused with Don't Get Too Comfortable; it's really Julian Lodge/David Rakoff with Nyles (who's pretty cypher like 'cause Black Death sucked) standing in for Rakoff. It's all very self-indulgent.

But I should have said all that from the outset.
